Will Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who has relieved some of the psychological burden and recovered his condition, be able to show off his golden left foot in the challenging trip to Thailand, including sweltering heat and high humidity?

Team A, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, will play the 4th match of Group C of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia Region 2nd qualifying round against Thailand at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Qatar at 9:30 pm on the 26th (hereinafter Korean time). It takes place.

In the third group match against Thailand held in Seoul on the 21st, Korea was unable to maintain the lead taken by Son Heung-min (Tottenham)’s first goal and drew 1-1.

Korea maintained the lead in the group with 2 wins, 1 draw (7 points), and Thailand was in 2nd place with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss (4 points).

One of the highly anticipated players in Hwang Seon-hong, who needs a win, is Lee Kang-in.

Lee Kang-in, who had been criticized after it was later revealed that he had a physical conflict with Son Heung-min during the Asian Cup, was called by Coach Hwang and joined the national team for the international match in March.

However, due to the PSG schedule, he was the last to join, and the home game held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 21st was replaced in the second half due to problems such as time difference.

Although his playing time was short, his impression was powerful. As a result, there were no attack points, but Lee Kang-in showed off his presence by showing off his unique sharp left foot.

It seems likely that he will return as a starter in this trip to Bangkok.

Thai media ‘Siam Sports’ was wary of Lee Kang-in.

The media said, “Lee Kang-in is one of the most talented players in soccer,” and “He is currently playing as a key player in PSG along with French superstar Kylian Mbappe. “You can see how outstanding a player he is.”

He continued, “He appeared as a substitute in Seoul, but it is certain that he will return as a starter at Rajamangala Stadium. He has a wide vision and sharp shooting ability.” “In particular, we must be careful of ‘kill passes’ that can bring about changes in an instant.”

Furthermore, if Lee Kang-in collaborates with captain Son Heung-min to score a goal, it is expected that greater synergy will be created for the national team.

Coach Hwang Seon-hong, ahead of the match against Thailand, said, “The heat could be a variable, but we have prepared well and our desire for victory is very strong,” and expressed his determination, “We will go back with a win.”
