"There's more I want to achieve."
National defender Lee Tae-seok (23) will head to Europe. He is close to signing with Austrian club Austria Vienna. Lee Tae-seok is scheduled to leave the country on the 30th. Lee Tae-seok received enthusiastic applause from fans after the away game against Daegu FC at Daegu iM Bank PARK on the 27th. The Pohang squad gave Lee a boost to his new challenge by rinsing him. Lee Tae-seok expressed his gratitude with tears in his eyes.
After his last game in Pohang, Lee Tae-seok thanked his brothers for rinsing him. I couldn't have done it without my brothers when it came to challenging Europe. Thank you, players, everyone"The reason why I can have a good challenge is because I received a lot of help from Pohang. I was able to go out well because I came in a difficult time. It's thanks to a lot of help. It is true that there are many complex emotions. It's a meaningful team in my heart."
Lee Tae-seok, born in 2002, started with 'Lee Eul-yong's eldest son'. His father is Gyeongnam FC coach Lee Eul-yong, a member of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup semifinals. Lee Tae-seok took his first step in the soccer world with the modifier 'Lee Eul-yong's son', but silently walked his own path. He has played in the national team by age and is currently playing for the A team. It's not the end. He is now moving towards a bigger dream.

Lee said, `As a player, the European stage is a place I want to try. It was a great desire. There was something I wanted to experience. When the offer came, I thought 'Ah. I should definitely go out' I thought. It was motivation and confidence for me as well." Coach Lee Eul-yong, who played in the Turkish league in the past, also trusted and supported his son's decision. Lee Tae-seok " (My father) said that if you want to challenge yourself, you want to challenge yourself. He actively talked about his strengths and weaknesses (on the European stage). I thought about it and thought about it a lot. We have concluded that we should make the transfer."
Cheers are pouring in on his challenge. Pohang coach Park Tae-ha said, `It's for the dream. Everyone's doing it with that dream. Welcome." Ki Sung-yueng also "It's a good opportunity." It's an opportunity to grow. I think the image and the like will be important because it's the first time. (I)Taesuk is a representative player. I want you to do it with responsibility. I hope that if you gain experience there, you will grow another level.'
Lee Tae-seok is leading a good career step by step. There is something more I want to continue to achieve in a good place. Now I'm going to Europe. I want to challenge the European competition and the World Cup, which is just around the corner. I think I need to go to Europe and think more about how I can grow and show you."
