Marseille (France), ranked 49th in the UEFA club rankings, is reportedly eyeing Bae Jun-ho (20-Daejeon Hana Citizen).
“I was told that a scout recommended Bae to the club as an ‘Asian crack’ who would fit in well with Marseille,” Alexis Pno (Finland) said on Aug. 28 (KST).
Pno covers Marseille in the French Ligue 1 for sports channel ESPN. French internet channel Talc Futures also made similar claims about Bae. 메이저놀이터
Since the round of 16 at the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2023, Bae has helped South Korea finish fourth with one goal and three assists in four games. He averaged 1.07 offensive points per 90 minutes while playing 84.0 minutes in the tournament.
He made his potential known to the European soccer world before the FIFA U-20 World Cup, recording one assist against the Portugal-Czech Republic U-18 team in 2022.
France is ranked sixth in the 2023-24 European League Rankings. In terms of market size, it is grouped with England, Spain, Italy, and Germany as the “Big Five” leagues.
“Marseille scouts saw in Bae the potential to succeed as a No. 10 (attacking midfielder) in France’s Ligue 1 after his impressive U-20 World Cup performance,” said ‘Talc Futures’.
Bae was ranked as the best winger on both the left and right wings in the 2023 U-20 World Cup Positional Power Rankings by ESPN Latin America and South American OTT service ST★R+.
ESPN Latin America and ST★R+ share the same parent company, The Walt Disney Company, the world’s largest media company. Bae was also included in the list of “20 players to watch after the U-20 World Cup” by French broadcaster Canal Fleur. 해외안전놀이터 추천
