In a press conference before the A-match friendly against Bolivia held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 13th, Lee Jae-sung said, `It is an honor to be called up for the last A-team of this year. I don't think it's natural to come to the national team every time you call up. I'm grateful to be able to dedicate myself to the call of the country. There are players who haven't come in a long time and some who meet every month, but whenever we meet, we are preparing for the game in a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. We are preparing for warm-up matches in September, October, and November. The warm-up match is a precious game for us. This process will be of great help to the World Cup in June next year. I also want to give fans great joy by winning two consecutive games. I want to give pleasure with good performance and good results. And I want to tell the test takers that you did a good job today. I hope you enjoy today," he said.
Lee Jae-sung played his 100th game in a friendly match against Brazil (0-5 loss) in October. Lee Jae-sung, who also played in Paraguay (2-0 win), will increase the number of A matches to 102 when he plays against Bolivia at 8 p.m. on the 14th at Daejeon World Cup Stadium. He will rank 16th in the number of A-match participants alone, beating senior Cho Kwang-rae (101 games), the current CEO of Daegu FC. In line with this, the Korea Football Association will hold a ceremony to celebrate joining the Century Club against Bolivia. Lee Jae-sung said, `Every game for the national team is special. I'm so grateful and honored that you prepared so many events and events for me as a member of the Century Club." I usually thought that personal glory should not appear in our team's preparation for the game. Thanks to the support and love of many fans, I was able to come to this place. As always, I want to dedicate myself to the team and impress the fans."
As for the greed for the 'Century Club membership celebration', you know that if you know me, you won't be greedy to score. If there's a situation to score a goal for the team as usual, I'll score a goal, and if there's a better chance, I'll help you" Lee Jae-sung has scored 15 A-match goals (101 games).

Regarding the Korea Football Center, which was first admitted to the hospital, "All the players are satisfied that there is a space for the players. I spent a lot of time wandering around in the hotel, and it helped me prepare for the game because I had a home. I think I'll continue to be a great help there in the future," he said with pleasure.
South Korea raised concerns against Paraguay last month, with only 22,206 spectators, the lowest home crowd in 10 years. Lee Jae-sung "There is a saying that today is the result of yesterday. It is an opportunity to look back on what the national team has looked like. I think the match against Brazil will be a reference. There was a big crowd in the game against Brazil. If you play soccer well and show good performance, that's why you come to the stadium. I think we need to play good soccer with responsibility so that fans can come."
The match between Korea and Bolivia will be held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 14th.
