A much appreciated player by Luis Enrique at PSG for a year and a half, Kang-in Lee is much less unanimous among employees of the Parisian club but also among observers, who are very critical of him.
Recruited from Mallorca for 22 million euros in July 2023, Kang-In Lee has never really established himself as a starter at Paris Saint-Germain. That being said, the South Korean international has significant playing time under the orders of Luis Enrique, who has always made him an integral player in the rotation whether in midfield, on one side or in a false number nine position.
Kang-in Lee's statistics are correct with 6 goals and 2 assists since the start of the season, which does not prevent the former Mallorca attacking midfielder from being little appreciated by PSG employees due to his judgmental behavior. haughty towards them. It's not just on Campus that Kang-in Lee is little appreciated. Some observers are also critical of the 23-year-old, but more for technical reasons. This is for example the case of Pierre Ménès who, as usual, did not mince his words to say everything he thought of the South Korean player.
Pierre Ménès very severe with Kang-in Lee
“It is an odorless, colorless and tasteless player. He never plays forward. He constantly gets on his left foot to put the ball behind, to Hakimi. It annoys me when I see the treatment reserved for certain other players in the PSG squad… Especially when I see that Kang-In Lee is a starter or that he comes into every match where he starts as a substitute. He doesn't have the level to play for PSG.” explained Pierre Ménès on his YouTube channel. The former Canal+ journalist is perhaps referring here to Randal Kolo Muani, who does not have a single minute of play at Paris SG while Kang-in Lee continues his tenure and appearances like in Monaco on Wednesday. Luis Enrique's choices are sometimes difficult to follow and concerning the South Korean international, it is clear that the admiration the Catalan coach has for him can raise questions.
