It's time for Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) to flash his talent once again.

South Korea's national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play 7th Group B match against Oman at Goyang Stadium on the 20th in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup. South Korea is in first place with four wins and two draws (14 points) in the previous six games. Depending on the results of the two March A matches at home, South Korea can confirm its trip to North Korea, China and the U.S. early.

Coach Hong called in Lee Kang-in again 'without any unexpected incident'. Lee Kang-in started all six games since Hong took office in September. He was sure of his skill. I did my part no matter who I paired up with. He shook his opponent on the right side and acted as a 'attack captain'.




There are variables. Lee Kang-in joined the national team after playing the 2024-2025 French League 1 home game against Marseille at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 17th. He arrived at the national team on the 18th and has to work together for one day on the 19th before playing the game. Coach Hong said, `All the players gathered on the evening of the 18th. This is why he said, "Some players are tired."

Lee Kang-in's recent performance is also a concern. Lee Kang-in is playing as a key player in PSG this season. He played 1,394 minutes in 26 French League matches, scoring six goals and five assists. Although he recently took a break due to an injury, he returned immediately and announced his robustness. However, he played 462 minutes in 11 matches in the European Champions League (UCL). There was no score. In the second round of the UCL round of 16 against Liverpool (England) held in Liverpool, England on the 12th, he started the match on the bench. In the 11th minute of extra time, he took the ground instead of Khvitsa Kvaratshelia. Recently, local media in Europe have raised question marks over Lee Kang-in's position. Rumors of a transfer and a sale are even being made. This is due to the combination of injuries and competition with Kvaratshelia, who joined PSG through the winter transfer market. Lee Kang-in also played for about 10 minutes in the 35th minute of the second half against Marseille, which he last played before joining the national team.

It's time for Lee Kang-in to flash his talent once again. He overcame every crisis with skill. His talent is essential to the 'Hong Myung-boho'. In particular, Lee Kang-in's sharp pass is important to break through the Middle East's dense defense. In September last year, Lee Kang-in also cheered by helping Son Heung-min score the winning goal in the 37th minute of the second half in an away match in Oman. At that time, South Korea won by a score of three to one. Fortunately, Lee Kang-in attended training on the 19th with a bright appearance. Coach Hong said, `Fortunately, the players are good right now. He is a player who can learn everything in a short time without spending a lot of time. We trust and expect the players to be on the field, and the players who go out will play responsibly. I don't know what the game will look like against Oman, but I expect the players to do their best and do their best."
