It was short-lived, but it was enough to make a statement. In the first two minutes, Lee drew a foul with his quick feet to win a free kick, and he also sent sharp passes to Cho Young-wook, Jung Woo-young, and Park Kyu-hyun to create threatening chances.

Lee was a late addition to the national team after arriving in Hangzhou on July 21 and traveling straight to Jinhua. On the 22nd, he worked with a separate group to get acclimatized. His first team training session was on the 23rd, the day before the game.

When asked about his current condition after the game, Lee said, “My injury has recovered well,” and added, “I will try to show a good performance.”

“It was my first time playing with the team, and I think we have a lot to work on. I will try to win the next match,” he added.
