Lee reveals Evra superiority

20 October 2009 18:13
Bolton winger Lee Chung-Yong believes Patrice Evra is the best full-back he has come up against in his career. The nifty South Korean has impressed since his arrival at the Reebok Stadium but faced his first major Premier League test against Manchester United at the weekend. The Trotters went down 2-1 to the champions at Old Trafford on Saturday, with Lee unable to make an impact and subsequently being subbed in the second-half. However, the 21-year-old believes the quality of United left-back Evra was his stumbling block and acknowledges the Frenchman as the best defender he has come across in his short career. "I have never come across a defender like Evra. He is very difficult to deal with both in attack and in defence," Lee told Korean media. "He's a truly great player. He's so good in so many aspects of the game and I'm clearly not at that level yet. "I have to think harder and increase my concentration when facing a player like him. I hope to be involved more in situations like this so I can improve as a player." Lee joined Gary Megson's outfit for £2.2million from hometown club FC Seoul in the summer and has added a much-needed attacking spark to their play with a string of fine performances.
