'Golden Boy' Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) stood out.

South Korea's A national team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, suffered a 0-5 friendly defeat against Brazil at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th. South Korea collapsed after being hit by back-to-back multi-goals by Esteban (Chelsea) and Rodrigo (Real Madrid) and a net by Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid). Hong Myung-bo, who did well against the U.S. (2-0 wins) and Mexico (2-2 draws) in September, clearly felt the wall of the 'world's strongest'. The acclaimed three-back was helplessly penetrated by Brazil's brilliant attack, and the offense's sharp counterattack was not seen at all.

A ray of hope in the frustrating game was Lee Kang-in. He was not swayed by Brazil, which was in the same position. Lee Kang-in, who played as a right attacking midfielder in the 3-4-2-1 formation, showed active movements all the time. Lee Kang-in was the only player to guard the ball and face it one-on-one. His unique repression ability was as good as that of a Brazilian player. Lee Kang-in went back and forth between the center and sought a way to attack. The long pass from Lee Kang-in's toe was about Han? 堧?It was one of the few attacking routes.




He was also active in defense. When Seol Young-woo (Zvezda) and Cho Yoo-min (Sharja) were shaken by the brilliant play of the two Real Madrid duos, Vinicius Junior-Hodrigo, Lee Kang-in went down to prevent the opponent's attack. Lee Kang-in succeeded in winning the most ground contests in the first half.

In the second half, Lee Kang-in tried to create an opportunity somehow beyond the opponent's harsh checks. I felt sorry for my colleagues' support. Lee Kang-in led South Korea's attack in the middle of the second half, calling for his participation in the attack. Lee Kang-in came out after replacing Lee Dong-kyung (Kim Chun) in the 36th minute of the second half. The name of the struggling "Lee Kang-in" rang out.

Lee Kang-in confirmed once again that he is the ace of South Korea through the match against Brazil. Lee Kang-in has been having a difficult time recently. His position in his team has decreased, and his performance in the national team has also been questioned. In the last U.S. away game, he couldn't do his part in the aftermath of the injury. However, he recently showed good performance in the European Champions League phase match against Barcelona and the Acer match, changing the atmosphere. Lee Kang-in is attracting attention from English Premier League clubs such as Aston Villa. He seems to be continuing his momentum in the national team as well.




Lee Kang-in's presence, which is not intimidated by strong teams, is expected to be the biggest boost for Hong Myung-bo, who is seeking to reach the round of 16 or higher at the North-China World Cup.
