Why it is difficult to simply criticize Lee Kang-in for dragging the ball in the national team

At Atletico Madrid, he was criticized by Simeone for dragging the ball, so he switched to one-touch passing; you can see this in his recent matches.
However, you don't see that in the national team, and there are many instances of Lee Kang-in's characteristic weakness, which is dragging the ball.
If you ask why he doesn't use one-touch passing like he does at Atletico, the problem is that when he tries to play one-touch passes, the player receiving the ball immediately passes it to someone else.
It seems Lee Kang-in tries to find passing lanes while carrying the ball, but looking at the Venezuela match, Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Oh Hyeon-gyu are all on the same line. In other words, there is no one to receive a pass near the box.
There are many opposing players near the box, so even if he makes a pass, it just returns to Lee Kang-in, and we don't have a player like the "head machine" Muriqui from his Mallorca days.
I have seen many matches where Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in play at the same time, and it seems difficult for them to coexist.
Lee Kang-in is not well-suited for a central midfield role due to his small stature and lack of high work rate.
He is an excellent player, but he needs teammates who can synchronize with him in this way...
For the Uzbekistan match, it might be better to have either Lee Kang-in or Son Heung-min come off the bench.
