Lee Chang-min, who returned from his mandatory military service, leads Jeju SK as a captain.
Lee Chang-min, who started his loan career at Gyeongnam FC immediately after joining Bucheon FC in 2014, started his career in Jeju Island in 2016 after playing for the Jeonnam Dragons. Lee Chang-min, who is entering his ninth season in Jeju, is a living history of the club along with his teammate Jung Un.
Lee Chang-min has experienced the second place in the league in Jeju, the AFC Champions League (ACL) round of 16, the K League 2 relegation (2019), and the K League 2 victory and promotion (2020). In Jeju alone, he has 22 goals and 19 assists in 182 K League 1 games, and four goals and two assists in 24 K League 2 games. He has played 206 games in Jeju alone, and is on the path of legend along with Jung Un (213 games), the most active player in the club.
Lee Chang-min, who briefly left the team in June 2023 for mandatory military service, returned to Jeju on April 9. Upon his return, his left arm was filled with the captain's armband. He will once again lead Jeju as the captain following 2021 and 2022. This means that Kim Hak-beom has great trust in him.
Lee Chang-min laughed, saying, "I said I wouldn't do it, but it was already decided," and said, "It means that the coach thought about it that much, so I will take the initiative and do well with the team."
Lee Chang-min, who had his return match against Daejeon Hana Citizen on June 15, tasted his first win in his second match after his return to the team at Suwon FC on June 30. What did he think about the first division that he experienced right away at the Geoje Citizen's Soccer Team in the K4 League.
"The biggest thing is that they can't even afford to raise their head," Lee Chang-min said, explaining the difference, "One pass mistake can lead to a loss." "Isn't the K4 League environment as good as the first division?" he said, adding, "We played two games only at home, but the Jeju World Cup Stadium is in such good condition."
While Lee Chang-min left Jeju for a while, the team also changed. "The atmosphere has become better, and the team's color emphasizes more activity and pressure," he said.
Although only two games have been played, fans are admiring and looking forward to Nam Tae-hee and Lee Chang-min's teamwork at the same time. "Tae-hee (male) also prefers a short cut," Lee Chang-min said. "There are more things that need to be matched, but Tae-hee appears well in every position he receives the ball in a very good player." "To be honest, I just like it even if I don't say anything," he said.
Born in 1994, Lee Chang-min has already entered his 12th year as a professional. "I want to win a championship in Jeju Island because I am getting older and have an annual leave," he said. "I have to do it once before I retire as I continue to pursue that goal." 먹튀검증
Finally, Lee Chang-min said, "I will do my best with the players from this season so that I can get close to the aforementioned goal of winning," and vowed, "I will make a fairy tale of Jeju."
