Peter Bolesław Schmeichel (61, Denmark/Poland) is a legendary goalkeeper who was named the "Great 125th Anniversary" by FIFA. Korea is well known for his performance with Manchester United from 1991 to 1999.
The website of the Korea Football Association introduced "Lee Jae-hyung of Samsun Elementary School in Seoul who dreams of becoming a goalie" in 2009. In addition to his defense capability as the starting goalie in the fifth grade, Lee actively participated in offense in corner kick situations and aimed for scoring goals with headers and sharp shots that utilized the right to provide.
On Dec. 14, 2024, Hall 7A of KINTEX Exhibition Hall 2 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, will showcase the Z-Fight Night 2 undercard from 3 p.m. Lee Jae-hyung, a promising goalkeeper who attracted the attention of the Korea Football Association, will become a 26-year-old fighter nicknamed "Equipment" and face "Sillim Gorilla" Yoon Tae-kyu (24) with a contract weight of 100 kg.
ZFN is a group created by Korean Zombie Jung Chan-sung (37), Korea's leading mixed martial arts (MMA) star who has won two UFC featherweight titles. Undercard is available through live streaming service "Chizik." Yoon Tae-kyu vs. Lee Jae-hyung are ZFN's second competition.
The website of the Korea Football Association compared it to Jose Luis Chilabert (59, Paraguay), but Lee Jae-hyung expressed deep respect for Schmeichel, saying, "The goalkeeper I want to resemble the most. He led the team with confidence even though he was not a field player."
Lee Jae-hyung, born in 1998, was not even born during Schmeichel's heyday or was just a year old, but he was a fifth grader in elementary school who tried to follow Schmeichel, who scored after a corner kick with his foot after moving to Manchester United and Aston Villa.
Lee Jae-hyung joined Jeonbuk Hyundai in 2017 after playing in the soccer department of Jeonju Youngsaeng High School. He was included in the A team's official roster 27 times until 2019, including 26 K League matches and one KFA Cup tournament, but his contract ended while sitting on the bench.
At that time, Jeonbuk Hyundai was the strongest team in the K League 1, winning three consecutive games in the 2017-2019 season. Lee Jae-hyung was introduced to the media as a "handsome soccer player who feels joy and love just by looking at it," but he did not get a chance to defend the goal of the first team.
"Equipment" Lee Jae-hyung met the conditions of his contract at a weigh-in test held at Hotel Marina Bay Seoul Ara on Dec. 13, 2024, and was eligible to play the following day. In an interview with MK Sports, he said, "I have liked martial arts since I was a soccer player. After my relationship with Jeonbuk Hyundai, I learned Muay Thai and Jiu-jitsu."
As a goalkeeper who has been listed in the K League 1 entry for more than 20 games, he has excellent physical conditions, including 190 centimeters in height. The record for amateur standing hitters is one win and one loss. He has won the -94 kilograms of white belt in Jiu-Jitsu.
Lee Jae-hyung said, "After winning his kickboxing debut, I happened to see the recruitment announcement for 'Battle Royale,' a content for ZFN2 undercard selection, and the deadline was only two hours. I applied because I was wondering if I would get a call if I sent a video of the KO win that I just won. I completely forgot about it after that, but it worked."
Is it because it is not a ZFN2 main card game that is sent to more than 200 countries around the world through the global OTT service UFC Fight Pass? Lee Jae-hyung said honestly, "I don't think soccer acquaintances know that I'm participating in the Jung Chan-sung competition yet. Actually, they don't watch martial arts and they're not interested."
If he had been listed 27 times for three years, he would have been able to join the team. If he had been a goalkeeper from a different team other than the 온라인카지노 K League 1 champion, he would have been able to join the team. "The soccer team at Jeonju Youngseng High School is run by teams under the age of 18 in Jeonbuk Hyundai. We had no choice but to choose our debut team," Lee said.
"At the end of the day, the world of professional players is given to them according to their abilities. I am grateful that I had a great experience to be a K-League 1 player for three seasons," Lee Jae-hyung, who was grateful to Jeonbuk Hyundai rather than regret and regret, said, "I will continue to play mixed martial arts as a professional fighter," and asked ZFN2 to keep an eye on him.
