Criticized for his disappointing performances in the Champions League, Kang-in Lee is on the other hand irresistible in Ligue 1. The South Korean international delivered a superb performance during PSG's victory in Angers.
If he is still struggling to exist in the Champions League posters for the moment, Kang-in Lee is a player who shines in Ligue 1. Already the author of six goals and an assist since the start of the season with the Paris Saint-Germain, the South Korean international delivered a very successful performance against Angers on Saturday evening during the 11th day. Author of a double, the former Mallorca playmaker was this time used in a right winger position, which has become unusual for him as Luis Enrique often uses him as a false number nine.
Kang-in Lee represents everything Luis Enrique loves
Much more comfortable in the role of winger, Kang-in Lee delivered a performance bordering on perfection in the first half on the pitch at the Raymond-Kopa stadium. His successful match earned him the very good rating of 8/10 in the columns of L'Equipe. And for the national daily, this XXL performance delivered by Kang-in Lee delights Luis Enrique, who does not hide his admiration for the 23-year-old left-hander. “Shifted to the right, to the left, as a false number nine and as a relay player, Lee embodies the excessive versatility desired by Luis Enrique” describes the national daily, confirming that the former Mallorca player is the prototype of the ideal player in the eyes of the Paris Saint-Germain coach.
“It is in the Champions League that he will now have to show if he has the ability to become a more important player for Paris” on the other hand tempers the national daily, which knows that PSG supporters will not be satisfied with a double in Angers. For Kang-in Lee, as for many of his teammates, the challenge will now be to take a step forward in the Champions League. An observation also valid for the other young players in the squad such as Barcola, Doué, Joao Neves and Zaire-Emery.
