I waited for my time. And I made my time my own.
The team came from behind to beat Ulsan HD 3-1 in the 17th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on Sunday. After giving up the first goal to Ulsan's Lee Chung-yong, the team balanced it with Song Min-gyu's equalizer. In addition, the team garnered three points with consecutive goals scored by Park Jin-seop and Thiago right before the game ended.
Lee Seung-woo was the hidden winner of the match. After being substituted in the second half, Lee displayed brisk movements to sway Ulsan's defense.
Then, just before Park Jin-seop's come-from-behind goal in the 41st minute of the second half, he served as a turning point with a fantastic overhead kick. Lee Seung-woo's overhead kick came off Cho Hyun-woo, and Park Jin-seop finished it. It was not official help, but Lee Seung-woo's attempt was the starting point of the reversal.
Lee helped the net right before the game ended. After receiving the ball, he dug into the left side and gave a precise pass to Thiago in front of the goal. Thiago finished it lightly, and Lee accumulated one assist.
This is Lee who fired a signal of revival. Lee has not received many opportunities under the leadership of Gus Foyet recently. Coach Foyet has completed the composition of a certain Plan A, and Lee Seung-woo's playing time, who failed to make the plan, was limited.
It gave fans victory. He was a superstar who burst into tears at an important moment.
After the game, Lee told reporters at the joint coverage area, "I really wanted to run. It's definitely fun to run in front of so many people. Ulsan also had fun playing together in earnest. Hyundai's The B is the most fun. I felt good to have so many fans here."
Recalling Park Jin-seop's come-from-behind goal situation, he said, "I was careful not to get caught offside, but when the ball came, I kicked overhead. I hesitated a little because I was afraid of who would hit my head. If I kicked my head, I could have been sent off. But the kick hit me well, and (Park) Jin-seop also went in well. I'm glad I helped."
Asked if he had any regrets about not scoring a goal, he said, "It's a little disappointing. It should have gone in, but I'm so disappointed."
On helping Thiago score points, he said, "Ninth place in Jeonbuk is burdensome no matter who takes it. Still, Thiago waited silently for his training, and he is very capable. "I don't think anyone doubted Thiago's ability because such players come to Jeonbuk," he explained.
He also talked about the time limit for playing. "It is comfortable to talk to Coach Foye in Spanish. Of course, if I am a player, I want to play many games, and as the team continues to win, I trained myself," Lee said with a big smile. "I have talked with the coach a lot, but he always helps me and takes great care of me. He explained in detail about the time limit for playing, and it is of course his authority to play. That is soccer. So I waited for my time to arrive, and I had no complaints at all due to the good performance of the team."
Like this, Lee Seung-woo waited for his time. And when the opportunity came, he made the time his own. When he needed the most performance and desperately needed it, he stepped up as a troubleshooter. He is also a superstar player.
Recalling the time when he was substituted, Lee Seung-woo said, "I went in with a 1-1 situation, and I wanted to be of help unconditionally. I wanted to go into the stadium and show everything I could." 토토사이트
Finally, when asked if he won thanks to the fans who filled the stadium, Lee concluded the interview by saying, "No matter what. We will not be pushed back by anyone in this atmosphere. I think we were able to score two goals thanks to that power."
