Lee Seung-woo (26-Suwon FC) was highly touted as a possible successor to the world's best soccer player, Lionel Messi (37-Argentina), when he was a youth player at FC Barcelona (Spain).

On New Year's Day, Spain's 'Marca' said, "Lionel Messi stood out from a young age, leaving his own footprint. Lee Seung-woo was the immensely talented heir who was expected to follow in his footsteps."

Marca is one of Spain's four largest sports newspapers. It is the number one selling newspaper in the country, even if you expanded its scope to include all daily newspapers. "But things didn't work out the way he wanted them to. In the end, he didn't reach his destination - Lionel Messi."

With 39 points in 29 games for Barcelona U-15, Lee drew international attention when he surpassed Lionel Messi's 37 points in 30 games for the club. Another major Spanish sports newspaper, Sport, described him as "one of the best prospects in the world".

Lee was banned from playing for Barcelona from February 2013 to January 2016 for violating Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) rules that prohibit foreign transfers for players under the age of 18. He wasn't even allowed to train in Spain after September 2015.

He showed promise in the UEFA Youth League, the European Union's equivalent of the Under-19 Champions League, with two goals and two assists in nine games, but he never made it to the senior A team and ended his Barcelona career in the summer of 2017. 카지노사이트777 

Since leaving Barcelona, Lee has played for Elas Verona (Italy), Sint-Truiden (Belgium), and Portimonense (Portugal), scoring one goal in 14 Serie A games, one goal and three assists in 26 Serie B games, two goals in 17 Belgian first division games, and four games in the Portuguese first division.

Lee continued his European soccer career in Italy, ranked 3-4 in the UEFA League Rankings, Portugal, ranked 6-7, and Belgium, ranked 8-9, before joining Suwon FC in the 2022 season to begin his Korean professional soccer career.

In 2023, he was ranked 2nd in free kicks taken, 3rd in effective shots, 6th in goals scored, and 8th in attacking points. Interest from European teams such as Heart of Midlothian (Scotland), Odense (Denmark), and Frosinone (Italy) was also a hot topic.

Scotland is ranked 9th in the European League and Denmark is ranked 17th. Lee also has the advantage of having played in all the FIFA World Youth and Adult Championships, including the 2015 U-17 World Cup in Chile, the 2017 U-20 World Cup in South Korea, and the 2018 U-20 World Cup in Russia.

His four goals in five men's soccer games at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta-Palembang, Indonesia, is the last tournament to symbolize Lee's strength for the national team.
