Lee Chung-Yong Special 2007 이청용 스페셜

K-LEAGUE 2007 - FC SEOUL
U-20 WORLDCUP 2007 - vs USA BRAZIL POLAND


Lee Chung-Yong (Hangul: 이청용; born 2 July 1988) is a South Korean footballer who plays for Premier League club Bolton Wanderers and the South Korean national team.
Lee is widely regarded as one of the top young South Korean footballing prospects.
In January 2009, Lee was named as one of the top 50 rising stars in football by the British daily newspaper, The Times.

Lee Chung-Yong's football career started at the age of 11. Although considered to have started too late by some, his enormous talent was evident and his reputation grew among the Seoul youth football development community.

Lee's international career started as part of the South Korea national under-20 football team in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Despite impressing against quality opposition including USA, Pato-led Brazil, and Poland, South Korea failed to make the cut for the next round. His individual performances, however, were enough to impress many neutrals and rumored to have caught the eye of many European scouts.

After his U-20 tenure, Lee Chung-Yong was part of the unsuccessful 2008 Beijing Olympics U-23 national team. His first under-23 match was against Syria in Damascus, October 17, 2007.

On May 31, 2008, Lee was given his national team debut by manager Huh Jung-Moo in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualification match against Jordan. He would score his first national team goal against the same team in the return leg at home on September 5, 2008 in Seoul World Cup Stadium. Lee Chung-Yong was one of the most consistent and important players in South Korea's successful seventh consecutive qualification for the World Cup and eighth overall, an Asian record.

On June 17, 2010, Lee scored an injury time goal in the first half against Argentina in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Lee scored again in the round of 16 match against Uruguay in South Korea's 2--1 defeat. He was named as the top 10 rising stars of the 2010 FIFA World Cup by Sports Illustrated.
