There is affection in the older brothers’ cry for the youngest Lee Kang-in (22, Mallorca).
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will play a friendly A match against Uruguay at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8:00 pm on the 28th. This is the second A match after Klinsman took over as manager. The first game was a 2-2 draw with Colombia.
On the afternoon of the 27th, the day before the game against Uruguay, the official soccer team training was held at the National Training Center (NFC) in Paju. 24 people, including Lee Kang-in, Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, Lee Jae-seong, Hwang Ui-jo, and Kim Young-kwon, came out and warmed up. Baek Seung-ho had hamstring pain and rested indoors.
The warm-up before the tactical training was led by coach Michael Kim (Kim Young-min). Twenty-one field players, excluding three goalkeepers, gathered in a circle in the center circle and started training for stealing the ball (rondo). Three taggers ran around with white vests and blocked the pass. A training exercise in which the player who becomes the tag gets handed a white vest and enters the circle.
At this time, the ball came vaguely between Lee Kang-in and Kim Young-kwon. When Kim Young-kwon handled the pass, he crossed paths with Lee Kang-in’s leg. Kim Yeong-kwon laughed and shouted, “Kang-in, get out of the way!” and Lee Kang-in brightly headed back to his place. A similar scene occurred several times among other players.
Coach Klinsman, ahead of the game against Uruguay, said, “Lee Kang-in is a young and talented player. I confirmed it myself at this call-up,” he said. He knows the Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre personally. I often talk about Lee Kang-in with director Aguirre,” he replied.
The atmosphere of Klins Manho’s team is ‘sunny’.메이저놀이터 After the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, players who haven’t met in a long time are busy chatting and joking around in groups of two or three. Manager Klinsmann and the coaching staff are as bright as the players. Advisor Cha Du-ri, who is among them, is also smiling every moment. I hope that the bright energy of the training ground will lead to Uruguay.
Korea and Uruguay have met a total of 9 times. Korea is inferior with 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses. The most recent match is the first leg of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Group H group stage. Korea, led by coach Paulo Bento at the time, drew 0-0 with Uruguay. In the previous match, held in Seoul in October 2018, South Korea won 2-1.
