The South Korean soccer team, which is going for a third consecutive Asian Games gold medal, arrived in Hangzhou, China, where the tournament will be held today.
Coach Hwang Sun-hong says he won’t rush Lee Kang-in into the game, saying he’ll decide after seeing his physical condition.
Reporter Park Sun-woo reports.
A large number of fans gathered at the airport from early morning to see the national soccer team headed to Hangzhou.
The players’ faces were cheerful as the fans’ warm reception helped them decide when ace Lee Kang-in would join the team.
Coach Hwang Sun-hong kicked off with the lion’s share of the team’s rhetoric, breaking the pots to cook rice and sinking the ship to return home.
As for the timing of Lee Kang-in’s entry into the game, which is the most interesting question, Hwang is in no hurry.
Lee won’t be able to play in the second leg because he’s scheduled to arrive on the evening of the 21st, but he could be available as early as the third.
However, since he hasn’t played a match yet after recovering from his injury, he will check his physical condition before deciding whether to play.바카라
