The Korea Football Association reported on the 15th, “We have completed consultations with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) regarding Lee Kang-in’s transfer to the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.” Lee Kang-in will move to Hangzhou, China, to join the national team after finishing the first round of the 2023-24 European Football Confederation Champions League (UCL) group stage on the 20th.먹튀검증
Lee Kang-in’s transfer to the Asian Games has attracted a lot of attention. Lee Kang-in is a player who can become the “core of the midfield” by utilizing sharp kicks, passes, and colorful dribbles. He is also a player with such clear skills that he shows off his huge presence every time he plays in the A national team. He also played an active role in the FIFA 2022 Qatar World Cup held in November last year. Lee Kang-in, who was substituted in the second group match against Ghana at the time, assisted Cho Kyu-sung in scoring with a sharp cross.
Naturally, he is expected to become an ace in the Asian Games team, which consists of players under the age of 24. However, it was not quickly confirmed whether to join the tournament.
Local media also paid attention to whether Lee Kang-in would join. Italy’s Fabrizio Romano, who is familiar with the transfer market, also mentioned, “PSG is expected to allow Lee Kang-in to join the Asian Games.” And in the end, it was confirmed to be confirmed.
From Hwang’s point of view, he can take a breather. The key now is when to join. Lee Kang-in will move to Hangzhou as soon as the match against Dortmund scheduled for the 20th is over. Naturally, the national team will play the first game against Kuwait on the 19th without Lee Kang-in.
It is unclear whether Lee Kang-in will play in the second match against Thailand. The match against Thailand will be held on the 21st, and considering Lee Kang-in’s travel time in Paris, France, it is unclear whether he will be able to play normally. In the end, Lee Kang-in’s first appearance in the Asian Games is likely to be against Bahrain on the 24th. Lee Kang-in will inevitably go ahead.
Meanwhile, the South Korean Asian Games national team, led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong, aims to win three consecutive gold medals. With Lee Kang-in at the center, European players such as Hong Hyun-seok (KAA Hent) and Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart) will join. In addition, Um Won-sang (Ulsan Hyundai), Ko Young-joon (Pohang Steelers), and Song Min-kyu (Jeonbuk Hyundai), who are active in the K League, will aim for the opponent’s goal. On top of that, top K-League players Baek Seung-ho, Park Jin-seop (Jeonbuk Hyundai), and Seol Young-woo (Ulsan Hyundai) will join as wild cards to add strength. The national team will start the tournament with a match against Kuwait on the 19th.
