It was advised that Lee Kang-in, who dreams of becoming a starting member of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), needs to continue to remain humble.
In the past, a French reporter insisted that he should not be a mean person like Lionel Messi.
"Does Lee look like Messi? Lee Kang-in was recruited from Mallorca in 2023 thanks to his popularity in Asia. Since then, he has shown good and bad performances alternately. But he seems a little excited," the French media VIPSG reported.
The media said, "As everyone knows, PSG is a team that receives a lot of attention. PSG can drive players crazy, and Lee Kang-in is no exception. Lee Kang-in, a 23-year-old attacking midfielder, is a true star in Korea and the most popular PSG player for Asian fans who visit Parc des Princes to see him," adding, "Lee Kang-in is having difficulty showing his real influence on the field and has not been able to secure a starting position."
The reason why Lee Kang-in seems to be somewhat complacent is because of a recent French reporter's remarks.
According to the media, French reporter Bruno Salomon said on "100% PSG Show La Tribune" that "Mauro Icardi, Leandro Paredes, and Lionel Messi were quite mean people at PSG. I'm trying to end the debate about Lee Kang-in here, but there are rumors that Lee Kang-in went too far on the PSG campus," adding, "He thinks he's a different person. He's just a player who thinks he's a star player."
"This is the echo that we keep hearing. Lee Kang-in must be careful not to become a player like Icardi, Paredes and Messi who showed mean attitude to some PSG employees. The time will come when we have to come down to reality," he warned.
In response to Salomon's remarks, VIPSG said, "He warned Lee Kang-in, claiming that he was a little complacent," and analyzed that Lee Kang-in needs to maintain a humble attitude.
According to Salomon's remarks, Messi, who is considered the world's best soccer player, showed an arrogant attitude even though he did not perform well at PSG, and it can be inferred that Lee Kang-in has recently shown an attitude like Messi.
Lee Kang-in, who is in his second year as a member of PSG, had difficulty securing time to play in the last season. He did not get many chances due to injury in his early days as he joined the team and was substituted for the Asian Games, and was pushed out of the competition to become a starting member due to physical limitations while going to the Asian Cup in winter. Still, he played in 36 official matches as a rotation member, scoring five goals and five assists, lifting the league, the Coupe de France, and the Trope de Champaign.
The situation was not much different this season. He played in 16 league matches but started in nine matches. In other words, he is almost switching between starting and replacing players.
Still, he has made remarkable progress in productivity of offensive points. Despite playing a short time of 910 minutes, he had eight offensive points with six goals and two assists. This is an amazing development considering that he had three goals and four assists in 1,472 minutes during the last season. This is because he has already surpassed the previous season's record even before half of the season has passed.
Lee Kang-in, who started in the opening match and scored his first goal overall in League 1, succeeded in consecutive goals in the second round but played as a substitute. He was then given less time to play in the third round.
After No. 9 striker Gonzalo Hamus was out due to injury, he was used as a fake No. 9 and began to get a chance little by little. Since he is not a professional striker, he is not responsible for many goals, but he received the ball from the center and came down to the low position to connect the ball, showing good performance.
Lee Kang-in, who scored his third goal in the league against Stade Ren in September, scored his fourth goal against Strasbourg in October. And he played full-time in the away match in Ange last month, scoring two goals and one assist, and recently he was substituted in the second half in the away match in AS Monaco, helping the team come from behind to win 4-2, even though it was a short time.
With the addition of Lee Kang-in's performance, PSG is leading the league alone with 16 undefeated games (12-4 draws) since the opening of the league this season. After Kylian Mbappe left for Real Madrid, there were concerns that there were no star players, but it is said that the organization has become more solid.
Lee Kang-in was nominated in the best 11 midfielders category in the first half of this season's Ligue 1 as he was recognized as a special serve. He will compete in the midfield with a total of 16 players including Adrian Rabiot (Olang Peak Marseille), Keito Nakamura (Stad Reims), and Rayan Sherki (Olang Peak Lyon).
안전놀이터 The League 1 Secretariat recognized his performance during the first half. However, if Salomon's remarks are true, they need to be a little humble in order to develop further.
