Lee Kangin is in 10th position

"I can't give up on Kang-in's 10th position even now. Look at him putting a pass into the skill. As long as he gets used to the position, there is no talent like that."

Hwang Sun-hong, head coach of the U-23 national soccer team, said in an interview on the 26th that Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain, hereinafter PSG) is the best position for the central offensive midfielder. This position is mainly played by playmaker-type players, who have more freedom of movement than other positions and sometimes have to finish at the door.

Coach Hwang expected Lee Kang-in, who is creative and has excellent shooting skills, to play this role. Recalling the time when Lee Kang-in joined ahead of the Hangzhou Asian Games, he said he ordered Lee Kang-in to take this role even before the tournament began.

"Kang In said he was confident. However, it was unnatural to stand on the side (No. 10) in both the national team and the PSG," he said. "When I stood on the side in the final against Japan, I felt much freer and more smooth movements." "If I had joined earlier, I would have found a solution to the attack with Lee at the center of the group stage by conducting various experiments," he said.

Lee Kang-in is mainly playing as a right-side striker or midfielder in the national team under Jürgen Klinsmann's leadership. Since scoring his A-match debut goal with multiple goals in a friendly match against Tunisia in October, he has been accumulating attack points such as scoring goals and helping in every game. Compared to when he stood in the 10th position, coach Hwang thought that the advantage was that even if the explosive power was low, the view was secured on both sides and there were many opportunities to dig inside from the gate. 토토사이트 추천

The problem is when he plays in too diverse a position. In PSG, Lee usually plays on the left side of the team, and can even stand as wing backs that pose heavy burden on defense. "It is not good for a player. No matter how talented he is, he needs time to adjust," Hwang said. "If he goes back and forth in various positions like now, his expertise will inevitably deteriorate."
