It’s an emergency. ‘Ace’ Lee Kang-in (23, Paris Saint-Germain) is tired. He fell, holding his left waist. He flopped down on the ground and complained of his pain.

Lee Kang-in is the core of the self-proclaimed ‘Klinsmann’. He has been at the center of the midfield since coach Jürgen Klinsmann took office last February. Except for the match once morest Colombia in March of last year, which was Coach Klinsmann’s debut as Korea’s head coach, he has been on the field as a starter ever since. In October last year, he scored his international debut goal once morest Tunisia. Lee Kang-in, who gained momentum, boasted his destructive power by scoring 6 goals in 6 games.

The upward trend continued in the Asian Cup. He started as a starter in the first match of Group E of the Qatar Asian Cup once morest Bahrain on the 15th (Korean time). He scored the winning goal in the 11th minute of the second half when the game was tied 1-1. 12 minutes later, he even scored a key goal, leading Korea to a 3-1 victory. Lee Kang-in was selected as the MVP of the game, ‘Man of the Match’. High praise poured in for Lee Kang-in from all over the world.

Lee Kang-in, who was flying high, collapsed in front of the ‘sand wind’ of the Middle East. He did not show the expected performance in the second match once morest Jordan on the 20th. On this day, he started and played full time, but bowed his head following recording 17 turnovers. His dribbling success rate was also only 38%. Lee Kang-in was blocked by the opponent’s tough defense and was unable to advance. Korea was unable to clear the passage as Lee Kang-in was blocked. Despite Son Heung-min’s first penalty kick in the 9th minute of the first half, they gave up two goals in a row and were drawn 1-2. The consolation was that Hwang In-beom scored an own goal just before the end of the game, resulting in a 2-2 draw.

The bigger problem is Lee Kang-in’s physical condition. Lee Kang-in looked exhausted throughout the game. He was captured holding his left waist and continuously checking his body condition. In the end, Lee Kang-in appeared to sit down on the ground and hold on to his right leg. In fact, Lee Kang-in has shown difficulties during training several times. He said, “I don’t think now is the time to worry regarding whether my condition is good or not. If it’s not good, I just have to do my best. Since winning is the most important thing, I think I need to play in good condition according to the game as much as possible.”

Coach Klinsmann said at a press conference held at the Al Agla Training Center in Doha, Qatar on the 21st, “It is not easy for Lee Kang-in as well as the players to show the best performance in every game of the tournament. There are ups and downs during the tournament. In the beginning, the players get a feel for the atmosphere and feel of the tournament. “It’s important to find it. In fact, starting from the tournament, the game will be completely different. When there are ups and downs, focusing on training and correcting what isn’t working well is important,” he said.

Korea will play its final group match once morest Malaysia on the 25th. Only if Lee Kang-in does well will Klinsmann smile once more.
