On the afternoon of September 27, Lee Kang-in attended a pre-match press conference ahead of South Korea's match against Uruguay at Seoul World Cup Stadium, where he spoke about his feelings regarding the upcoming fixture. Under the guidance of interim head coach R. Moreno from Spain, South Korea will play an international friendly against Uruguay at 20:00 on September 28 at the same venue.

As one of South Korea's key players, Lee Kang-in was completely rested in the friendly match against Ecuador on September 24. For that match, interim head coach R. Moreno stated that several players, including Lee Kang-in, were excluded from the squad "based on recommendations from the medical team." The day before (September 26), Lee Kang-in participated in a recovery session, and his attendance at this pre-match press conference further raised expectations that he would play against Uruguay.

Lee Kang-in stated at the press conference: "For me personally, more than anything, I'm looking forward to playing at home in South Korea again after so long."

He continued: "We've had good performances and results in our recent match. This match will be difficult, but against a strong opponent, we will be prepared, clearly understanding what we've done well and what needs improvement, hoping to play a good match."

The last time Lee Kang-in represented South Korea in a home international match was against Ghana in November of last year.

After his rest, Lee Kang-in stated that his physical condition has improved, and he reaffirmed his commitment to giving his best for the team.

He said: "From day one, the head coach has been very enthusiastic, explaining to us individually what type of football he likes and what role he expects each player to have. Communication with the head coach has also become smoother."

"I don't know how long the head coach will be in charge, but regardless, I will do my best to help the head coach and the team, and give everything."

Interim head coach R. Moreno previously revealed that South Korea's current squad will adopt a 4-4-2 formation. In fact, South Korea also used this traditional formation in the previous match against Ecuador, which was considered effective both in terms of performance and final results.

Lee Kang-in is also very familiar with this formation, so there are high expectations for his performance. Meanwhile, following his move to Atlético Madrid before the start of this season, he has gradually become a key player for the team and is currently in a phase of continuous improvement.

That day, Lee Kang-in focused on discussing his attitude when playing for the national team.

He said: "Simply being able to join the national team and play requires no extra motivation."

"I always want to help the team. I compensate for my shortcomings, and I try to further develop what I do well. My transfer situation hasn't changed much. Whatever happens, what I must always do is give everything for the national team."

When asked about his feelings regarding the match against Ecuador, Lee Kang-in said: "From a tactical perspective, there's nothing specific I need to discuss. I simply felt clearly that the football the head coach is pursuing is making the entire team one unit, with 11 players running for the team."

He continued: "During the match, the players understood the head coach's instructions very well, and I think we need to continue doing this well in the future. The head coach has emphasized teamwork from day one. In the match against Ecuador, I felt all players were united and performed very well."

Finally, Lee Kang-in stated: "There are times when you're in good condition, and times when you're not. As I always say, players always hope to make fans happy and delighted by watching our performance."

"This is the situation now, and it will be the same in the future. Everyone involved in football will do their best. We also hope that everyone will continue to pay attention to and support us."
