BILD: "Überragender Mann auf dem Platz ist Südkoreas WM-Teilnehmer Jae-Son Lee (25), den Holstein für nur 900 000 Euro von den Jeonbuk Motors holte. Der Mittelfeld-Wirbelwind bereitet beide Tore vor, ist von Hamburgs Defensive einfach nicht zu stoppen." translation: Excellent man on the pitch is South Korean WC participant Lee who Kiel got from Jeonbuk for 900000 Euros. The midfield-whirlwind assisted both goals and can't be stopped by the HSV defenders.
The manager lets really play a system that fits Lee very well and makes him shine. Even though it's too early, I will shyly predict that he will end up with something like 8 goals 12 assists at the end of the season. He is clearly too good for the league. But he could have a form crisis too, because of over-exhaustion (especially if he plays Asian cup). And let him free from injuries please. Transfermarkt is full of praises (esp. from other teams) already. I really hope he can hold his form and it will only be a matter of time until he joins a 1.BL club.
Very good decision considering e.g. how Hotaru Yamaguchi fared joining in winter of season 15/16 at endangered (and eventually relegated) Hannover 96.
He played really well! He plays better for this team than with Jeonbuk, but I can't blame him when CKH doesn't know how to use his players properly and his tactic sucks. Here he plays more open football where he can show off his skills better.
Okay, I'm giving BSK a mission to find a place where I can buy a Kiel jersey without paying an exorbitant shipping fee to Australia. User that completes this mission will get a rep for every comment they post for the next 6 mths.
Maybe people can start harassing Kiel's Twitter account for them to ship internationally? Otherwise, the only solution would be sites like mygermany.com unfortunately.
https://www.bundesliga.com/de/2bundesliga/news/interview-jae-sung-lee-will-bundesliga-spielen.jsp Basically: - Happy to be on the pitch and winning the first game - Good pressing and ball keeping key for success - amazed by the atmosphere (HSV stadium = 57'000) and looking forward to more beautiful stadiums - playing in the 1.Bundesliga is his dream - with Kiel. He is confident that the team has potential which was one of the reasons for his transfer - he felt that the manager was very competent and also felt that he was being wanted - confident to become better if he can understand Kiel's style over time
I thought we don't do individual threads for 2.Bundesliga? Will Ji get his own when he permanently moves to Darmstadt?
should be judged case by case through crowd objectivity instead of following arbitrary rules. lee jaeseong garners a lot of close followers because hes currently a productive national team member
