Daegu war was Lee Tae -seok’s farewell. Lee Tae -seok, who was the main player of Pohang, is known to have decided to transfer after receiving a love call from Vienna, Austria. Earlier, Austrian media Abisade said, “It seems that Austrian Bin, who wants to reinforce the full back fullback, has found a suitable player in Korea.” Lee Tae -seok said goodbye to Pohang fans, saying, “I will go and work hard.”
Austrian Vienna is a traditional Kang who won the 24th Austrian league championship. Last month, Lee Kang -hee, who played at Gyeongnam FC, was recruited. If Lee Tae -seok also moves, two Korean athletes will take a breath.
