Lee Kang-in played as a substitute and helped the team win and win.
Paris Saint-Germain defeated RC Langs 1-0 in the 10th round of the French Ligue 1 in the 2024-25 season at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France, at 1 a.m. on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time). PSG went on a 10-game unbeaten streak with eight wins and two draws and maintained its lead with 26 points.
Lee Kang-in started from the bench. Coach Luis Enrique gave Lee Kang-in, who had recently started two consecutive official matches, some physical strength arrangements. PSG dispatched Barcola, Asensio and Dembele to the offensive team. Neves, Vitinha and Luis were in the midfield, while Mendes, Pacho, Marquiños and Hakimi were in the back four. Saponov wore goalie gloves.
PSG led with Dembele’s first goal in the fourth minute of the first half. As PSG continued to flow, it led the overall game. This goal became the winning goal and took the victory. In the 14th minute of the second half, when Kusanov was sent off directly, 10 players had to fight. In the end, they could not overcome their numerical inferiority and dedicated the points to PSG. With this, PSG remained in the lead with 26 points, with eight wins and two draws in the league.
Lee Kang-in stepped on the ground at 16 minutes in the second half. He displayed impressive performance after spending 29 minutes on the ground. He attempted a surprise shot with his left foot in the 21st minute of the second half, and stabbed Mendes with an exquisite pass in the 332nd minute of the second half. Mendes connected with a shot, but as he headed straight to the goalkeeper, Lee’s first chance to help the team fell through. He played for a short time and had no offensive point, but his movements were sharp whenever he caught the ball.
Based on the soccer statistics media “Foot Mob,” Lee Kang-in recorded one shot, 89% of pass success rate (17 out of 19), one key pass, 100% of long pass success rate (two out of two), one corner kick and one ball contest.
Lee Kang-in was recently given the role of “fake No. 9” by Luis Enrique. Lee Kang-in scored his third goal of the season in the last match against Stade Ren, and after the A-match period in October, he scored his team’s fourth goal against Strasbourg, even though he started as a substitute. 메이저놀이터
However, after the UEFA Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven, there were also criticisms. Lee Kang-in, who started the match, struggled for 68 minutes by making two shots, but lost a critical chance to overcome his disappointment. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, and France criticized Enrique’s fake No. 9 tactic.
In the last “Le Clasique” against Olympique Marseille, he crossed Dembele and went back and forth between the front line and the right side. In the 40th minute of the first half, he played a key role in Barcola’s third goal, poking a pass that served as a starting point, and after 78 minutes, he retreated to the bench.
Lee Kang-in has started five games in 10 league games this season and has four goals. PSG will clash with Atletico Madrid in the UCL on the 7th. Lee Kang-in, who started two of the three UCL games and replaced one game, is likely to start as a substitute on the day.
