Calendar of FC Barcelona

To good sure will sound them to a lot of the name of Lee Seung-Woo. And if no, the history that accompanied him. The surcoreano that formed in the FC Barcelona and was considered always a player of a magnificent future, to the height, said, of the same Lionel Messi. Because of his low centre of gravity and his form to play, desataron the comparisons… converted then in the 'Messi Korean'.

Although it kept by several months without playing by sanction of the FIFA to the Barça, afterwards arrived to soldier even in the Barça B, with which debuted in March of 2016. With his selection also was a star in ciernes. It was the catchword mediático of the Sub-20 in the World-wide of the category that organised there. It happened a year and gave the jump to the absolute; it was summoned for Russia 2018.

Already for then it could discern that his level was far of the expected. The Barça decided to leave him leave to Verona, first yielded and afterwards traspasado. In Italy went him losing the trace, especially when Verona descended. It finish in Belgium, in the modest Saint-Truden.

The principle of the end

The things could not have taken a worse course. Afterwards of a first stage in which you grieve took part (was yielded to the Portimonense Portuguese) returned in this and the situation has twisted more. It has not contested neither a minute, until this same week so much the club like the own footballer decided the rescission of his agreement, in spite of his 23 years.

Only in two seasons, the surcoreano left a bagaje very poor, of 17 parties contested and only two marked goals. The 'Messi Korean', that with which the Barça ilusionó, finds at present without team and without big expectations of resurgir to level futbolístico. A sad final for a stray prospectus.
