Huh decided to use the more experienced Lee Dong-gook and Yeom Ki-hun instead of young Lee Seung-yeoul. Korean public has expressed that the only reason he didn't get enough playing time at the World Cup, was because Lee was inexperienced, despite showing good form and having scored 3 international goals in the run up to the World Cup. Seung Ryul has expressed his desire to train hard for the upcoming 2010 Asian Games and hopes to break into Europe. He has also expressed that the World Cup was a valuable experience and learned a lot from training with Park Ji-sung.[2]
