Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where Lee Kang-in played full-time, advanced to the semifinals of the Cup de France France Cup.

PSG defeated Nice 3-1 at the 2023-2024 Coupe de France quarterfinal home match held in Paris, France on Wednesday. PSG, which has grabbed the most wins in its history by winning 14 Coupe de France, is close to winning another championship.

Leading striker Kylian Mbappe scored the first goal in the 14th minute of the first half. Fabian Lewis then scored an additional goal in the 33rd minute of the first half.

Nice countered with Gaetang Lavord’s comeback goal in the 37th minute of the first half. However, PSG defeated Nice with Lucas Veraudu’s goal in the 15th minute of the second half. In the end, PSG ended up with a 3-1 victory.

Lee Kang-in, who started as a midfielder, played full time and contributed to his team’s advance to the semifinals. Although he failed to score offensive points, he threatened the goal with a sharp left-footed kick.

Lee Kang-in turned the soccer world upside down with the so-called “table tennis gate,” which physically collided with “captain” Son Heung-min Tottenham during the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. With Thailand set to play two consecutive A matches in March, there was a voice that Lee Kang-in should not be selected as a disciplinary measure this time.

However, interim coach Hwang Sun-hong chose to make a head-on breakthrough in response to public criticism against Lee Kang-in. He gave Lee an opportunity to apologize with his performance. 안전 토토사이트

Hwang Sun-hong will hold a call-up training session at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province on the afternoon of the 18th. He will then play Thailand on the 21st home and 26th away in the third and fourth rounds of Group C of the second qualifying round for the 2026 North-Central American World Cup in Asia.

Lee Kang-in, who has been consistently active in his team, remains to be seen whether he will soothe angry fans with his performance in the national team.
