Lee Kang-in's likely departure from Jordan, Hwang In-beom, the core of the midfield, will return to make it 100%



The biggest reason for struggling against Oman was the absence of Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord), the 'nuclear of the center'.

Hwang In-beom has suffered from a calf muscle injury since December last year. Only five games have been played this year. Hwang In-beom, who returned from a long injury, made the national team in a surprise move. However, it was too much to participate. Hwang In-beom continued his training, but was excluded from the list of the match against Oman. I didn't even sit on the bench. It was certainly the consideration of director Hong Myung-bo to raise his body more.

When Hwang In-beom, who serves as a bridge between offense and defense, fell out, he did not turn the ball properly. Above all, the tempo did not rise. In order to break the opponent's dense defense, the attack had to be launched quickly, and it took a minute just to switch to the other side. Baek Seung-ho (Birmingham) came forward as a substitute for Hwang In-beom, but to be honest, it did not meet expectations. To make matters worse, he was even injured.




'Golden Boy' Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) changed the atmosphere by being put into the midfield, but even Lee Kang-in collapsed due to an injury at the last minute. For the national team, Hwang In-beom's comeback has become more important.

Fortunately, he is expected to be able to play against Jordan. Hwang In-beom said, `The calf injury has improved a lot,' `Fortunately, the team and the national team communicated, and the coach took a break from this game and controlled his condition.' "I want to prepare well for the next game and help the team as much as possible," he said," he stressed.

Last but not least, Hwang In-beom will play against Jordan to make the fans look 100% fit"It's a pity that Baek Seung-ho and Lee Kang-in were injured. Injuries are inevitable when you play. The next game will bring the result that we didn't bring today without any players getting hurt"I was motivated.




The slump in the match against Oman increased the burden on the match against Jordan scheduled for the 25th. If they fail to win against Jordan, they will have to continue their burdensome move to advance to the finals until the end of the third qualifying round. Hwang In-beom's role has become more important.
