Kicker, Germany's largest soccer magazine, formed Lee Ju's team (Best Eleven) on the 24th with impressive performances in the 23rd round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season held last weekend.
Lee Jae-sung was proudly listed on the list. In the 4-1-4-1 formation, he was placed in the left attacking midfielder.
Lee Jae-sung replaced Nelson Wiper at half-time when it was 0-0 tight at the match against Jeankt Pauli at his home stadium on the 22nd and scored the first goal in the 22nd minute of the second half. The opposing goalkeeper missed Mainz's mid-range shot while trying to catch it, and Lee Jae-sung, who sprinted to the goal with his unique sincere movement, calmly pushed the ball into the goal.
In the fifth minute of extra time in the second half, he helped the net with a sharp space pass to Paul Nebel. The German Carnival lived up to the full expectations of Mainzpans that it was Lee Jae-sung's Day.

Lee Jae-sung tied last season's stat (six goals and three assists) for the first time in 23 rounds of this season's Bundesliga. If only three more offensive points are accumulated, it will surpass the career high stat (7 goals and 4 assists) in the 2022-2023 season.
This is the second time that Lee Jae-sung has been selected as a kicker Lee Ju's team. In December last year, Kim Min-jae was selected as the team of Lee Joo-eun, leading his team to a 2-1 victory at home against Bayern Munich. Lee Jae-sung is the only player who lost to Munich this season.
Lee Jae-sung, who has been consistently starting since the opening, has been playing as a substitute for the last two consecutive games. The change came as Bohenlixen Mainz began to appoint Nelson Viper, a striker from the youth that the club is ambitious about.
Lee Jae-sung played a "powerless demonstration" for 45 minutes against Jeankt Pauli with an extraordinary class that shone in the sixth place in Kicker Langliste's offensive midfielder. Teammate Hong Hyun-seok was included in the replacement list alongside Lee Jae-sung, but he did not get a chance to play.
Meanwhile, Japanese winger Doan Ritz (Freiburg) and defender Hiroki Ito (Bayern Munich) were selected for kicker Lee Ju's team in the 23rd round.
