If this happens, we'll go back to the bench in the Champions League.
Midfielder and winger, and now a front-line striker in the zero-top system.
Lee Kang-in, France's most prestigious Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder, who has recently become a sign of Korean soccer, turned into a killer this time and played all 90 minutes and scored a goal.
However, chances are high that Lee will be on the waiting list again at the UEFA Champions League finals that will take place during the week. It is a dilemma for Lee Kang-in to play full time for 90 minutes.
Lee Kang-in opened the scoring for the first time in a month at PSG, leading the team to victory.
Lee Kang-in started in the sixth round of the 2024-2025 French League 1 home game against Stade Rennes in Paris on the 28th (Korea Standard Time), scoring a 2-0 goal in the 13th minute of the second half and roaring.
He laughed for the first time in a month. Earlier, Lee Kang-in scored a goal just three minutes after the start of the game in an away match against Le Havre on April 17, becoming the hero of the "2024-2025 League 1 overall goal."
He then scored a goal in the second round and home opener against Montpellier on the 24th of last month.
Since then, Lee Kang-in, who has played well in the attack by playing not only League 1 and Champions League but also A matches earlier this month, has been scoring goals in a month and in four league games. Since he has scored three goals in six games, he is expected to be able to score more than 15 goals for the first time since his European debut at this pace.
Lee Kang-in, who has played in all six league games, including four selections this season, and replaced him in one Champions League phase, has three offensive points with three goals without writing any help yet.
On the other hand, since Lee Kang-in played full-time on the day, the possibility of going back down to the bench in the Champions League cannot be excluded.
PSG will play Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in London at 4 a.m. on October 2nd in the away game of the 2024-2025 Champions League main league phase. For PSG, which beat Spain's ambush Girona 1-0 at home on the 19th, the toughest journey to advance to the round of 16 with the match against Germany's most prestigious Bayern Munich among the eight games is Arsenal's away game.
As a result, coach Enrique also said he would tie up two to three games, including the match against Arsenal, but since Lee Kang-in played all 90 minutes against Ren, he is expected to play the Joker role again in Arsenal's away game.
Asked by French media about Lee Kang-in's strong performance in the match against Girona, Enrique said, "I'm an unfair person, and I can only use 11 starters when 15 to 16 players are in good condition. I will continue to be an unfair coach," expressing his intention that Lee Kang-in will not be the main player in major games for the time being.
On the day, PSG played 4-3-3. Matvei Saponov defended the goal, while Ashraf Hakimi, Marqui News, Willian Pacho and Lucas Veraldu made up the back four. Warren Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves and Fabian Lewis worked together in the midfield, while Usman Dembele, Lee Kang-in and Bradley Barcola formed the front three-top to score.
Lee Kang-in, who had played left and right wingers and central midfielder for PSG, played zero-top role on the day. This means that PSG saved its strikers for the match against Arsenal.
Ren confronted with a 3-4-2-1 formation. Steve Mandanda wore goalkeeper gloves, and Alidou Seydou, Christopher Wu and Leo Oestigor made the back three. Adrien Truper, Azor Matusiwa, Baptiste Santa Maria and Lorenz Asignon formed the midfield, while Amin Guiri and Ludovic Bla were in the second line. The front-line one-top was played by Arno Calimuando.
Lee Kang-in stirred the opponent's gate from the beginning of the first half. In the 6th minute of the first half, he overcame a physical fight with the opponent near the half-line and created a breakthrough opportunity for Dembele with a sensational heel pass, and in the 18th minute of the first half, he opened the way for Dembele again with a sharp penetration pass from the side. 메이저놀이터
PSG's Young Gun Barcola, who has been showing off his scoring skills this season, scored a goal in the 30th minute of the first half to take the lead. In the counterattack situation, Dembele's right-footed shot from inside the penalty area was finished by Barcola, who was rushing to the left.
