Would Lee Ki-je (32, Suwon Samsung), who has not played in his team’s matches since October, be really reasonable? With three more digits than the previous 23.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) officially announced the final list of the national team to compete in the Asian Cup by holding a ceremony to announce the list of Qatar 2023 for the AFC Asian Cup at 11 a.m. on the 28th at CGV I’Park Mall in Yongsan.
Coach Klinsmann selected Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Whelan) and Oh Hyun-kyu (Celtic) as strikers to take charge of the front line, but there was no substitute for Hwang Ui-jo. Key overseas players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Kim Min-jae (Munich) were all selected.
Unlike before, the Asian Cup will be joined by 26 players, not 23 players. According to the KFA, teams participating in the event will register 23 players in every match out of 26 players submitted to the AFC, with the other three watching the match on a technical sheet.
Among those on the final list, Lee Ki-je’s name stands out. He has not played for his team Suwon Samsung since he was excluded from the list since the away game of Incheon United on September 30.
When asked why he was picked, Klinsmann said, “He had a hard time in his team this season. I cannot relate to why he didn’t play and what kind of problems he has in his team.” 헤라카지노
“(Lee Ki-je) obviously had a tough and difficult season, and I know that he couldn’t play,” Klinsmann said. “However, whenever Lee Ki-je is called, I would like to say that he showed his attitude and performance in the game.”
There are players in the K League, such as Lee Myung-jae (Ulsan) and Lee Tae-seok (Seoul), who have shown more consistent form than Lee Ki-je, but in the end, he is manager Klinsmann who chose Lee Ki-je again.
Rather than looking at the stadium where domestic K-League games will be held, Klinsmann showed his focus on overseas work, interviewing foreign media about Harry Kane, who moved to Bayern Munich, and Lionel Messi, who moved to Inter Miami.
