As expected, Lee Kang-in, the ‘golden left foot’, ranks first in opportunity creation 6 ‘Big Chances’ [Asian Cup]

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

Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who led Klinsmann to the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, was named the player who created the most opportunities in this tournament.

AFC said on the 5th (Korean time), “Lee Kang-in is leading the Korean national team,” adding, “He created 17 opportunities in this tournament, especially 6 ‘big chances’ (that could lead to a goal). “This is the highest record among participating players in this competition.”

Lee Kang-in's ability to create opportunities surpasses that of other players. It is four behind Qatar's Akram Afif (13), who ranks second in this category.

Lee Kang-in is playing all games in this tournament up to the quarterfinals against Australia and is showing off his success with 3 goals and 1 assist. He brought great strength to the national team with his powerful and precise shooting, precise passing, and fluid dribbling.

As the tournament enters, his opponent's focus is becoming more intense, but Lee Kang-in is breaking through the tough marks and showing off his skills to the fullest.

His golden left foot shines more in the tournament than in the group stage. Lee Kang-in created 9 opportunities in the 3 group stage games, and 8 opportunities in the 2 games of the tournament.

Although it did not lead to a goal, Lee Kang-in's lob pass to Lee Jae-seong after breaking down Australia's dense defense in the last minute of the quarterfinals was a scene that clearly showed his true value.

Coach Jurgen Klinsmann has absolute faith in Lee Kang-in, who is showing great performance. You can tell Lee Kang-in’s status just by looking at his playing time. Lee Kang-in's playing time was a total of 509 minutes, the second most played in this tournament after captain Son Heung-min (510 minutes, Tottenham), who played full time in all games.

Meanwhile, Korea, aiming to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years, will play Jordan in the semifinals at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar, at midnight on the 7th. gostopsite.com
