Ex-Dortmund Lee pinpoints WC2002 as major turning point for Asian football

South Korean left-back Lee Young-pyo visited Hong Kong as one of the players in the star-stud Dortmund Legend team. After the match, he revealed how much he enjoyed his time with former team members and opponents and shared with fans about his latest updates.

One of Asia’s best ever left-back, Lee said that the 2002 World Cup was an important milestone in altering the image of Asian footballer and his life. The 42 year-old defensive legend plays badminton once a week to help maintain his body in good shape, almost as fit as when he was still a professional player.
