"Hidden Card" Lee Kang-in, who is still quiet, will be on the verge of "Hwarong" if he bursts in the

The Korean national soccer team reached the final in a desperate fashion, but Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), the highly anticipated ace, is still quiet. Attention is drawn to whether he will show his true value in the final final.

The national team, led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong, will face Japan in the men's soccer final at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games at Huanglong Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 7th. It is the last match in which South Korea's third consecutive tournament, which has won the title for two consecutive times since the 2014 Incheon Games, is at stake.

From the group stage to the semifinals, South Korea showed off its overwhelming performance with 25 goals and two runs in six games. Jung Woo-young (Stutgartha) is leading the tournament in scoring with seven goals, and Baek Seung-ho (Jeonbuk), Hong Hyun-suk (Hent), and Cho Young-wook (Kim Cheon) are showing an even performance, scoring three goals each. 슬롯머신

However, it is regrettable that Lee Kang-in has yet to score any offensive points in this tournament. He has played a total of four games, but he has not yet played full time, and the playing time is about 180 minutes, which is only about two games.

It seems that Hwang did not plan to use Lee Kang-in full-time until the final. As he was late to join the national team due to injury and his team's schedule, he needed to manage his condition, and he had to put his life and soul into the final to win the championship.

Lee Kang-in entered Hangzhou on the 21st of last month, when the second group match between South Korea and Thailand was held, and played the first game of the tournament in the third match against Bahrain on the 24th. South Korea had already won two group games and was confirmed to advance to the round of 16, and Lee Kang-in, who started, warmed up lightly by playing only 36 minutes without any difficulty.

Attention was also drawn to starting in the round of 16 against Kyrgyzstan. There was an expectation that it was time for Lee Kang-in to show his skills in earnest. However, Lee Kang-in's movement seemed somewhat dull, and in the second half, he seemed tired. He left the ground after only 60 minutes of playing, leaving only the appearance of being less adapted to the local area.

Nevertheless, as he is an ace, it was widely expected that he would start in the quarterfinals against China, which is considered the biggest gateway to the tournament, but it was wrong. Lee Kang-in was put in the 19th minute of the second half with a 2-0 lead and finished the game without any performance.

Regarding the exclusion of Lee Kang-in from the starting list after the game, Hwang said, "We set up the selection according to the opponent. "It doesn't matter who starts," he explained. He added, "All the strikers were in good condition, so I could do my part no matter who came forward."

It was a rather ambiguous explanation, but it has a deep meaning. Lee Kang-in started again in the semifinals against Uzbekistan, and again came out as a substitute in 59 minutes. It was a tight 2-1 situation, but it was necessary to arrange physical strength as the final remained. On top of that, I was confident that I could keep the lead because the other players were also in good condition.

And "Hidden Card" Lee Kang-in, who was saved, is looking forward to "the conclusion of the flower dragon" in the final. Although he did not play full time in the match against Uzbekistan, it is encouraging that his movement is getting lighter.

There is no offensive point yet, but it is true that he is the ace of the national team. In 2019, he won the Golden Ball, the best player of the tournament, with two goals and four assists at the U-20 World Cup, and as he has already experienced the World Cup in the adult national team, expectations are bound to follow.

Lee Kang-in expressed his sluggish determination ahead of the final. "I want to win the next game by playing for a few minutes," he said, vowing, "I will do my best to prepare and make sure that good results come out."
