Lee Seung-yeoul (Korean: 이승렬; Hanja: 李昇烈; born 6 March 1989), also romanised as Lee Seung-ryul, is a former South Korean footballer who played as a striker or winger.

Club career

[edit]

A graduate of Shingal High School, Lee entered the 2008 K League draft and joined FC Seoul. He scored five goals including three winning goals while playing 31 matches as a striker in his first professional season. He was named the K League Rookie of the Year at the end of the season.[2]

On 7 March 2009, Lee scored a goal in Seoul's season opener against Jeonnam Dragons, which ended in a 6–1 win.[3] He made 21 appearances and 5 goals at the 2009 K League, while concentrating on the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[4]

In 2010, Lee simultaneously played for Seoul and the national team. During the 2010 season, he had 10 goals and six assists in 28 matches, and won a K League title.[5] He was evaluated as one of the best South Korean talents at the time, and played a match against Greece at the 2010 FIFA World Cup under Huh Jung-moo, the national team manager.[6]

Contrary to expectation, Lee's capability was in decline since 2011. He scored only one goal in 2011, and transferred to several K League clubs as well as J1 League club Gamba Osaka to find a turning point in his career.[7] He finished his professional career without a reversal after leaving Suwon FC in 2016. After retiring, he criticised his agent for sending him to clubs, who did not consider him as a main player. According to him, he complained to the agent about dogmatic negotiations and his lack of playing time, but a 20-year unfair contract with the agent caught up with him.[8]

International career

[edit]

On 9 January 2010, Lee made his first international cap for South Korea in a 4–2 friendly defeat to Zambia.[9]

Lee scored his first and second international goal against Hong Kong and Japan, respectively, at the 2010 East Asian Football Championship.[9] He became the tournament's joint-top scorer with two goals.[10]

Lee played as a 87th-minute substitute in South Korea's opener against Greece at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Afterwards, he was benched for the next three matches. Despite playing only five minutes, he expressed a deep impression he felt at that moment in an interview after the competition.[11]
