After returning to Korea, he plans to meet Son Heung-min and other colleagues instead of participating in training.
Korean national team midfielder Lee Kang-in, who is arriving at Incheon International Airport today, is scheduled to apologize for the 'low pole controversy' ahead of the match against Thailand.
The national team, temporarily led by Olympic national soccer team coach Hwang Seon-hong, will play the third round of the second qualifying round for the Asian region for the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup against Thailand at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 21st. Afterwards, the 4th game will be played in Thailand on the 26th.
Korea, which is ranked first in the group thanks to consecutive wins in the first and second games, may advance to the final preliminary round early through this two-game series against Thailand.
Attention is focused not only on the result of the game, but also on Lee Kang-in's apology to the public.
Lee Kang-in was branded a 'problem child' after having physical friction with Son Heung-min (Tottenham) during the '2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup', which ended last month. 파워볼사이트
As the situation grew, Lee Kang-in went to London, England to personally apologize to Son Heung-min and tried to resolve the issue, but criticism continued.
Nevertheless, Coach Hwang included Lee Kang-in in the national team roster, saying, “It is good to resolve what happened on the playground as quickly as possible.” Lee Kang-in plans to apologize not only to Son Heung-min and his teammates on the soccer team, but also to the public and soccer fans. After returning to Korea through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 19th, Lee Kang-in did not join the national team training held in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do that day, but went straight to his lodgings and met Son Heung-min and other team members. Also, according to the Korea Football Association, Lee Kang-in is considering reading an apology to the public prior to official training before the game on the 20th. Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in contributed to PSG's 6-2 victory by scoring a goal in the 26th round of the '2023-2024 Ligue 1' against Montpellier on the 18th. 슬롯사이트 추천
