Lee Kang-in says hello
Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) and Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), who were considered the future of Korean and Japanese soccer, became targets of criticism as personality issues arose at the Qatar Asian Cup.
Lee Kang-in got into a physical conflict with national team captain Son Heung-min while playing table tennis a day before the Asian Cup semifinal match against Jordan. In the process, Son Heung-min suffered a finger injury, and the national team lost 0-2 in the game the next day.
As it was revealed that veteran players had asked coach Jürgen Klinsmann not to allow Lee Kang-in to play, criticisms criticizing Lee Kang-in’s character are pouring in.
In the end, Lee Kang-in apologized to soccer fans through Instagram and said, “From now on, I will try to help my brothers become better players and people.”
Concerns among Korean soccer fans are growing as Lee Kang-in, who was expected to lead the future of Korean soccer, is on the chopping block due to personality issues.
Kubo, who was considered the future of Japanese soccer, was also criticized for his attitude and remarks during this Asian Cup.
Kubo, who, like Lee Kang-in, spent his youth in Spain, caused a stir even before the start of this tournament by saying, “It’s a shame that the Asian Cup is being held during the league,” and “In the end, the team that gives me money is Real Sociedad.”
Even after Japan was eliminated by Iran in the quarterfinals, Kubo caused a shock by saying in an interview, “I have nothing in particular to reflect on because I did everything I could.”
It seems that the Korean and Japanese soccer world is in trouble as Lee Kang-in and Kubo, who grew up in Spain and showed promise as young players and grew up together in Mallorca, are being criticized side by side.
