Ex-FC Barcelona youngster Lee Seung-woo is having his first World Cup. However, he is just as calm and confident as usual.<\/p>\n
“Now I can feel the World Cup after I come to Russia. But my mindset has not changed,” said the 20-year-old. “It has always been my dream to play for the national team.”<\/p>\n
Hellas Verona forward is famous for his confidence, and it has not changed either. “I play football because it is fun, and thus I should not feel pressured and help my seniors a lot. I sleep well. I am excited but still can sleep well.<\/p>\n
