The match between Korea and Mexico will take place at Geodyspark in Tennessee on the same day. Lee Kang-in had a relationship with coach Aguirre during his time in Mallorca. Coach Aguirre expressed his pride over Lee Kang-in at an official press conference against Korea, saying, `He's a very versatile player, and he's now a European champion.'
TUDN introduced that coach Aguirre had a short meeting with Lee Kang-in, who had a relationship in Mallorca ahead of the game. When Lee Kang-in shouted something, Coach Aguirre told reporters "Go away" in KoreanAfter asking, he pointed his finger at Lee Kang-in and smiled.
Lee Kang-in played for Mallorca from 2021 to 2023 before moving to PSG, his current team. Aguirre led Majorca from 2022 to 2024. The experienced coach Aguirre maximized Lee Kang-in's strengths. At that time, Lee Kang-in was evaluated as difficult to use as a starter because of his clear strengths and weaknesses. He said his physical fight and defense were weak, and there was a question mark that a rather slow speed could lower the tempo of the game. However, coach Aguirre made very good use of Lee Kang-in's strengths. He played as a sagging striker with a 3-5-2 tactic and utilized 120% of his sophisticated pass ability. At that time, Lee Kang-in took off as the main striker and led the attacks of Vedat Muriki (Kosovo national team) and Mallorca. Lee Kang-in also tried to erase his shortcomings. As a result, he doubled Muriki's scoring ability with a different level of pass linkage and de-pressure ability. As his physicality improved, he added power and speed. The simple movements gained from experience also became a strength. Coach Aguirre's stake in Lee Kang-in's transfer to PSG was also clearly large.
