Friday evening, against Stade Rennais, Luis Enrique chose to start Kang-In Lee at the forefront of the Parisian attack. Nevertheless, the South Korean played a false number nine role. This has been a hallmark of Luis Enrique’s team since the start of the season and could cause problems for Gonçalo Ramos once he returns from injury.
In the absence of Gonçalo RamosLuis Enrique tests several solutions at the center forward position. But recently, although he was satisfied with the performance of Randal Kolo Muanithe Spanish coach tends to favor a so-called “faux 9».
Luis Enrique is passionate about false 9s
Marco Asensio notably occupied this particular role. Friday evening at RennesIt is Kang-In Lee who took on this responsibility. The South Korean responded by scoring a goal. This is set to pose a problem for Gonçalo Ramos who, unlike the two attackers, is a pure center forward. Daniel Riolo has also pointed out.
“This is the question I’ve been asking myself since the beginning”
« Kolo Muani on the right? But the problem will arise with the return of (Gonçalo) Ramos. Because Ramos is a real new guy. From the beginning that’s the question I’ve been asking myself, if your plan is to play with a real or a false nine », Confided the journalist on RMC. This could therefore be more complicated than expected for the Portuguese who was nevertheless destined to occupy the forefront of the Parisian attack without too much worry.
