Will ‘PSG popular man’ Lee Kang-in be selected for UCL, the dream stage?
Shall we appear on the ‘Dream Stage’?
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where Lee Kang-in belongs, will invite AC Milan (Italy) to the Parc des Princes in Paris, France at 4 a.m. on the 26th for the third match of the Group F group stage. Korean soccer fans are interested in whether Lee Kang-in will start.
The UEFA Champions League (UCL) is called the dream stage for soccer players.
Lee Kang-in has already played in a UCL game wearing a PSG uniform. After recovering from injury, the last event he played before being called up for the Asian Games was the UCL schedule against Dortmund. At that time, Lee Kang-in was on the field for about 10 minutes as a substitute in the second half.
Current condition is good. The analysis is that Lee Kang-in is likely to play as a starter because he has become more integrated into the team.
Previously, Lee Kang-in left the team for about a month to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games and the A-match in October, but he returned with several positive factors, such as military exemption by winning the Asian Games and an upward trend with two consecutive goals in the A-match.
Accordingly, PSG immediately gave Lee Kang-in the opportunity to be selected. PSG coach Luis Enrique selected Lee Kang-in as a starter in the 9th round home game against Strasbourg on the 22nd. Although he did not record a direct attack point, he showed off his unique coordination ability and passing and played full-time for the first time since his transfer.
Now Lee Kang-in must save the team that is in crisis in the Champions League. PSG won the first game against Dortmund, but traveled to Newcastle (England) and returned with a 1-4 defeat. They are currently ranked 2nd in the group, but the ranking may change depending on the result of the AC Milan match.
PSG showed improvement in terms of performance by utilizing Lee Kang-in along with new tactics in the match against Strasbourg, raising expectations for the match against AC Milan.
However, it was expected that quick attacking players would be included in the starting list as they were playing against the Italian powerhouse Milan.
Statistics media ‘WhoScored.com’ predicted PSG’s starting formation against Milan to be 4-3-3. It was predicted that Coach Enrique would choose quick-witted resources such as Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele (both of France) instead of Lee Kang-in.
