Lee Kang-in Champions League Selection Notice? PSG Coach Enrique Says he can Play Simultaneously with Vitinha
Lee Kang-in (22, Paris Saint-Germain) finished the A match in November and took a nice break in the returning league schedule. We are now preparing for the ‘Star Wars’ Champions League. When coach Luis Enrique was asked a question about Lee Kang-in locally, he mentioned the possibility of coexistence with Vitiña.
Paris Saint-Germain will enter the Group F schedule of the '2023-24 UEFA Champions League' at its home stadium, Parc des Princes, on the 29th (Korean time). They are in second place after Dortmund in tightly contested Group F, with a one-point difference.
Lee Kang-in left Mallorca this summer and joined Paris Saint-Germain. After honing his skills in the Valencia youth team, he made his professional debut, and after moving to Mallorca, he spread his wings and worked with world-class players at Paris Saint-Germain. Although he did not play well in the beginning due to a muscle injury, he made great progress starting with the Hangzhou Asian Games and the national team schedule in October.
He had the opportunity to start before Strasbourg in the 9th round of Ligue 1. He performed well as a starter in four consecutive league games until the 10th round (against Brestois), 11th round (Montpellier), and 13th round (Reims), and provided a sharp forward pass to Kylian Mbappe, revitalizing the Paris Saint-Germain attack. .
His strong performance in the league translated into his national team. In November, he joined the second qualifying round of the Asian region for the 'FIFA North and Central America World Cup' and played against Singapore and China. Lee Kang-in, who played as a starter in both games, showed his presence by recording 1 goal and 1 assist in the game against Singapore and 1 assist in the game against China.
After the international match in November, I returned to Paris and prepared the league schedule. He started on the bench against AS Monaco, but coach Enrique chose to rest. Paris Saint-Germain struggled quite a bit at home against AS Monaco, but the front line attackers continued their performance and won 5-2.
Lee Kang-in has yet to play as a starter in the Champions League. He played 10 minutes in the first game of Group F against Dortmund, 19 minutes in the third game against AC Milan, and 30 minutes in the return match of the fourth game against AC Milan.
According to French media 'RMC' on the 27th, locals also showed interest in Lee Kang-in's participation. When Coach Enrique was asked about coexistence with midfielder Vitinha, he said, "Good players can play together on the same team. In the case of Lee Kang-in and Vitinha, they can play as wingers and midfielders. Both players can play as starters. “We can coexist,” he answered.
There was also a question about what tactics he would use ahead of the Newcastle United match. Coach Enrique said, "It's difficult to say. The position always changes depending on where the ball is. The tactical framework doesn't have much meaning. For example, even if you start with a 4-3-3 formation, you can change to 3-4 depending on the situation and need. -3, it will change to 3-5-2. It may change again in the second half,” he answered.
He continued, "When we do not have the ball, we sometimes defend with a 4-4-2 formation or a 4-5-1 formation. We cannot give an exact answer to that question. We value possession of the ball, so we defend with an aggressive 4-3-3 formation. “We will operate based on formation,” he explained.
The determination ahead of the Newcastle United match was clear. Coach Enrique said, "Our team is competitive enough. I hope the home fans can see the best performance tomorrow. There may be difficult moments, so we need more support than usual. Newcastle United are bottom of the group, so there is a lot of pressure and they need to win. "We desperately need it. It's a very important game. We will play the Newcastle United game like a final," he said.
There was also great faith in the Paris Saint-Germain players. Coach Enrique said, "It's not completely where I want it to be yet, but we're at a stage of improvement. The coaching staff can help the players more. I really love Paris Saint-Germain. The quality of the squad is amazing, and I'm ready to help the players." “There are a lot of players who want to do what they want. This is a team with great aspirations,” he said.
The same went for the strikers. When asked about the competition for attacking positions, he said, "There are Colo Muani and Gonzalo Hamus, but there are also Barcola and Asensio. There are four high-level players who can play in this position. We need to find each individual's strengths. I hope they can do something special. "We need to encourage them to do it. Hamus and Muani have distinct characteristics. The same goes for Asensio. He has strong shooting ability. Barcola is a young player with great potential. I like all of them."
He also spoke about Ousmane Dembele. Coach Enrique said: "I've known Dembele since my time at Barcelona. I've wanted to sign Dembele since he was playing at Stadren. He's a player with a really unique style. I know Dembele is a professional player. He always wants the ball. “I’m not afraid. I know how to accept criticism and I have a lot of confidence. It’s great to be able to work with a player like this,” he praised.
He continued, "He is different from Dembele during his time at Barcelona. At Paris Saint-Germain, he must work hard to be active not only on the side but also in the number 9 position. There were some concerned about his attacking points, but he is a player who really does a lot for the team. Dembele is a player who does a lot for the team." “Due to the way he moves and one movement, 2 to 3 other teammates can play comfortably. Dembele is without a doubt the best crack in the world,” he said, giving his thumbs up.
Finally, Coach Enrique said, "Paris Saint-Germain is still at the stage where the players understand each other's system and are developing for the style of soccer I want. It will inevitably be different from the soccer seen in the Spanish national team and Barcelona because the players are different. "I believe we can improve further. We can improve many things. There is a long way to go to achieve what I want to show in this team," he said, ending the press conference.
