Lee Han-beom is finally showing his presence in Meat Willan.

Denmark's Super Liga secretariat selected and announced the sixth round of the Super Liga on its official SNS on the 27th (Korea Standard Time).

A welcome name appeared in the 4-4-2 formation. It was Lee Han-beom. Lee Han-beom is the only Meat Willan player to be selected in the best-Eleven in the sixth round. Mitwillan is Lee Han-beom, who was named in the first round of best-leven since his transfer. Lee Han-beom's performance in the sixth round is expected to be a big boost for Mitwillan's main jump.



Lee Han-beom joined Meat Willan as he left FC Seoul for a European challenge ahead of the 2023-2024 season. Immediately after joining the team, Lee Han-beom showed a very outstanding performance as a starting center back at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, bringing the gold medal, and it seemed that he would be able to compete for the starting lineup in Mitwillan.

But Lee's first season was as cold as the Danish winter. He played only three games in the league. There were a total of seven matches including the Cup. Rumors have been heard that he may leave Mitwillan and return to Korea as he is completely behind in the main competition.

Lee Han-beom decided to try again, and he began to increase his playing time little by little from the preseason. Even after the league opened, Lee Han-beom continued to stay on the bench. He started as the first starter in the second round of the European Champions League qualifying round. He showed a decent performance by leading a scoreless defense, but again he was on the bench in the league.

It was fatal to fall behind in the main competition with Usman Diau and Mads Beck Sørensen. Mads Beck is a Lee Han-beom who had to break through the main competition with Diau because he was Mitwillan's captain. In a league game against Sønerwiske on the 24th (Korea time), Lee Han-beom took the opportunity to start the league for the first time this season.



Mitwillan was dragged away when he gave up a run in the fourth minute of the first half, but in the 15th minute of Adam Booksa's scoring process, Lee Han-beom was involved in the equalizer with a sense of superbly flowing back from the penalty box. But Mitwillan gave up another run in the 33rd minute. In the course of the two runs, Lee Han-beom's stake was virtually nonexistent.

Fortunately, Mitwillan caught up when he scored another equalizer in the 11th minute of the second half. In the 31st minute of the second half, Adam Gabriel's come-from-behind goal was scored by Lee Han-beom. On the left, the cross headed completely into the net. Lee Han-beom rushed in and connected the ball protruding from the net with a header. He was blocked by the goalkeeper, but Gabriel pushed the ball back to finish.

On this day, Lee Han-beom showed a very good sense of stability, including two tackle successes (3 attempts), two blockings, 11 clearings, nine header clearing, one interception, and eight contest successes (11 attempts), giving a small hope to the main competition.



Coach Hong Myung-bo called Lee Han-beom to the South Korean national team after seeing this. It is Lee Han-beom's first convocation to the Korean National University. Currently, the national center back duo is Kim Min-jae and Kim Young-kwon, but Kim Young-kwon's recent performance is not good. Kim Min-jae's long-term partner has to be found even considering the World Cup in two years. Can Lee Han-beom take that opportunity. It is a big leap for Lee Han-beom even if he gets a chance to play in the upcoming two A-match series.
