Paris Saint-Germain’s Lee Kang-in, who had been quiet since the Asian Cup, contributed to the team’s victory by recording his first assist in the Champions League.
Coach Hwang Seon-hong’s worries are likely to deepen ahead of the announcement of the World Cup preliminary list next week.

Champions League round of 16 second leg against Real Sociedad.
Lee Kang-in was brought on at the start of the second half when the team was ahead 1-0.
And it made its presence known in 11 minutes.
He opened the opportunity with his unique, sensational one-touch pass…
Mbappe finished with a key goal.
This was Lee Kang-in’s first assist in the Champions League and his first offensive point since the Asian Cup.
Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Real Sociedad 4-1 in the first and second games, advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in three seasons.
After the so-called ‘national team infighting incident’, playing time was greatly reduced even in his own team, raising doubts about his performance…
As he proved his health through this game, whether or not he will be selected for the national team has become a hot topic again.
Opinions are divided.
As he is responsible for the controversy that arose during the Asian Cup, there was an argument for excluding him from the March A match as a disciplinary measure…

“I think the only possible punishment is not to convene. I think we will have to discuss this well when the (national team) coach is appointed in the future.”
There is also a counterargument that there is no reason to exclude him since he has already publicly apologized to his colleagues.
Especially in a situation where Hwang Hee-chan left due to a thigh injury…
Lee Kang-in’s presence is bound to be significant as he has to overcome a dense defense in the two-game series in Thailand, where victory is essential.

“I plan to prepare the national team so that we can finish the two-game series in Thailand with a good result. I will do my best to prepare for Korean soccer to return to its proper place.”
Lee Kang-in, who is emerging as a hot potato, has been called up to the national team.
Coach Hwang Seon-hong’s concerns are deepening as the list is announced next Monday.
