Bae Jun-ho, the ace who led Korea to the quarter-finals of the U20 World Cup, has inherited the number 10 shirt of last year’s tournament MVP Lee Kang-in and is looking to go beyond the quarter-finals and reach the final, just like his senior four years ago.

The round of 16 match against Ecuador was the game that really showed Bae’s true colours.

In the 11th minute, he literally set up his ‘roommate’ Lee Young-joon’s opener with a pass that could have been measured with a ruler, and eight minutes later, he repaid Kim Eun-jung’s faith in him with his first goal of the tournament with a calm finish following an exquisite individual effort.스포츠토토

He is determined to lead the team as high as possible beyond Nigeria, just like Lee Kang-in did four years ago.
