Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain, PSG), the next-generation Korean soccer player who failed to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years, apologized to fans.

 

Lee Kang-in wrote on his Instagram on the 10th, "I have worked hard with the players, coaches, and support staff for a month with the goal of the Asian Cup, but I personally feel sorry for not achieving the desired results."

 

He added, "I wanted to repay the constant expectations and support of soccer fans who always support our national team with good results at this Asian Cup, but I'm sorry I couldn't."

 

Lee Kang-in returned to his team after losing 0-2 to Jordan in the semi-final of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Alayan, Qatar, on the 7th.

 

Lee Kang-in, who started every game from the group stage to the semifinals, scored a lot of goals in the first game (3-1 win) and scored a total of three goals in the third game (3-3 draw) against Malaysia.

 

However, despite the performances of European players such as Lee Kang-in, Jurgen Klinsmann was eliminated without crossing the final threshold due to the lack of overall strategy.

 

Lee Kang-in vowed, "I think many fans will be disappointed, but if you trust and support our national team as you have done so far, we will all work hard to become a team and show more advanced plays on the field, and furthermore, to become a competitive team on the world stage."

 

He stressed, "I will try to be a player who is dedicated and takes a step forward for the team's victory both in my team and in the national team."

 

Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in, who returned to PSG, will not play in the home game against Lille scheduled for the 11th.

 

"Lee wants to return to training and playing, but he will be on holiday until next week," PSG coach Luis Enrique said at a press conference ahead of the match against Lille.

 

"No, he's not injured. He's in perfect condition. I hope he's tanning."  메이저 토토사이트
