Coach Jurgen Klinsmann of the Korean national soccer team, ahead of the semifinals against Jordan in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, is looking at Lee Kang-in at the Al Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar, on the 4th (local time).

As Korean national soccer team captains Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in reportedly got into a physical fight the day before the Asian Cup semifinals, the remarks of former coach Kim Nam-il, who is famous for his direct speaking style, are being reexamined.

On the 15th, Dispatch reconstructed and reported what happened the day before the Asian Cup semifinals based on the testimony of multiple officials.

According to reports, the national soccer team's youngest line, Lee Kang-in, Seol Young-woo, and Jung Woo-young, gathered in the playroom and played table tennis while the players and coaches ate dinner.

One senior player couldn't stand it anymore and called them, and Son Heung-min asked, 'Are you here for training? ‘Focus on the game,’ he scolded. Lee Kang-in expressed his dissatisfaction. Son Heung-min grabbed Lee Kang-in's neck, and Lee Kang-in counterattacked and threw a punch at Son Heung-min. In the process, Son Heung-min reportedly suffered a dislocated finger injury.

Afterwards, some players asked Coach Klinsmann to exclude Lee Kang-in from playing, but he ignored them. That night, Klinsmann left a meaningful message on social media, “It takes a team to build a dream.”

He, who was aware of the internal conflict within the team, is being criticized for neglecting the rift without taking any action. Some netizens discussed the remarks of former national team coach Kim Nam-il, who emphasized the need for strict guidance.

Former coach Kim, who joined the national soccer team as the new coach of the national team A in 2017, said at the Seoul World Cup Stadium where the 20th round FC Seoul-Pohang Steelers match of the KEB Hana Bank K-League Classic was held in July, "I feel a heavy sense of responsibility as I joined the national team in a difficult time. I feel it. He promised, “I will do my best to be of some help.”

Regarding the national team’s performance in the 2018 Russia World Cup Asian final qualifying round (Group A), “It seemed to lack earnestness. He said, “I wanted to hit the bata,” but added, “Now that times have changed, that’s not possible.” 섯다
