‘Return from injury’ Lee Kang-in is coming… The firepower of Hwangseonhongho will become increasingly stronger [Hangzhou 2022]

Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) finally recovered from his injury and returned to the field. After completing his rehabilitation treatment, he made his comeback by competing in an official match a month later. The next step is to participate in the Asian Games (AG) held in Hangzhou, China.

Lee Kang-in came on as a substitute against Borussia Dortmund (Germany) in the first match of Group F of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage held at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 20th (Korean time) and played for about 10 minutes. Digested. It has been exactly one month since he left the lineup after the game against Toulouse on the 20th of last month due to a quadriceps injury.카지노

I didn’t feel like there was a long gap. Immediately after being substituted, Lee Kang-in showed flashes of movement and announced his return. Positioned on the left side of midfield, he displayed organic play with his teammates and unleashed the attack, and also received warm applause from the home fans for his ball control and feints that caught the opponent off guard. He looked so light that it was difficult to regard him as a player who had devoted himself to rehabilitation for a month. The pass success rate was 100%. 

The news that Lee Kang-in safely returned from injury also reached Hwang Seon-hong. This day’s game was the last game discussed between the Korea Football Association (KFA) and Paris Saint-Germain regarding the timing of Lee Kang-in’s appointment as AG. The news that Lee Kang-in returned from injury and even showed good performance was good news for the AG national team.

Lee Kang-in headed to Hangzhou, China the day after the game. She is scheduled to arrive in China on the afternoon of the 21st. The second match of Group E of the AG men’s soccer group stage against Thailand is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on this day, but considering travel time and physical condition, he is expected to miss this game. Instead, it appears that they will join training starting the next day and begin working together in earnest.

This is an extremely welcome addition for Hwang Seon-hong, who gained momentum by winning 9-0 in the first group match against Kuwait on the 19th. In the match against Kuwait, Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart) and Jo Young-wook (Gimcheon) recorded a hat trick and multiple goals, respectively, showing off their strong firepower to the extent that as many as six players scored goals from the first game. If Lee Kang-in positions himself in the second line or midfield and leads the attack, Hwang Seon-hong can become a more fearsome team.

Coach Hwang Seon-hong plans to check Lee Kang-in’s condition once he joins and then decide when and how long he will play. If they can completely defeat Thailand without Lee Kang-in and confirm their advancement to the round of 16 early, they will be able to manage their squad with some leeway in the final group match against Bahrain on the 24th. We can also save Lee Kang-in, who is not yet at 100% physical condition, as much as possible.

Instead, the round of 16 tournament, which will be held from the 27th, requires every effort to be made. Lee Kang-in is also likely to be at the center of Hwang Seon-hong’s team starting from the tournament through selection. If Lee Kang-in’s condition can improve quickly, a synergy effect can be expected in combination with Hwang Seon-hong’s formidable firepower, which was shown in the last game against Kuwait. Of course, the Hwangseonhongho can continue its unstoppable voyage toward the summit.
