Lee Kang-in was immediately injured in his unofficial debut match since joining the club. He started in a friendly match against Le Havre AC in Paris, France, but was withdrawn due to thigh pain. Still, his evaluation was good. The French media “RMC Sports” reported, “Lee Kang-in made a great debut. He quickly melted into the tempo of the game.”

“Lee Kang-in caught the eye of Luis Enrique. I am ready to become a star in the spotlight.” According to media, Enrique intends to use Lee as a key player in PSG. He also plans to operate this season around Lee Kang-in.

French media L’Equipe said, “Lee Kang-in was only appointed as a winger. He has experience playing in the center of Majorca. He can play in the position that PSG wants.”

After recovering from injury, he stayed away for about a month due to Asian Games and A matches. PSG coach Luis Enrique said of Lee Kang-in, “He has already proven himself. Including his performance in the national team. He should grow into a midfielder. However, he can play as a winger or as a fake striker or a drooping striker.”

He immediately got a chance to start. Lee Kang-in played against Strasbourg in the last round of 9. Football statistics company “Footmob” gave Lee Kang-in a 7.1 rating.

After the match, “Foot Mercato” said, “Lee Kang-in threatens Usman Dembele. Instead, Lee Kang-in, who played, scored a goal. Dembele was not effective,” adding, “Lee Kang-in showed more aggressive qualities.”

In the 10th round of the Brest match, Lee Kang-in sent an out-front pass to Mbappe in the 27th minute of the first half in a counterattack. Mbappe’s shot in front of the defender led to the score.

French media “GetFootball News France” gave Lee Kang-in a seven-point rating, saying, “I impressed in the midfielder with my ability to find space in the attack area and impeccable pass selection. The pass for Mbappe showed Lee Kang-in’s excellent skills and vision.”

“Foot Mercato” gave Lee Kang-in 5.5 points, the third highest rating in the team, and said, “He has always played well. The technical quality is still impressive.”

He scored his league debut goal in the match against Montpellier in the 11th round. Lee Kang-in scored the first goal in the 10th minute of the first half to lead his team to victory. PSG won the game 3-0.

In the third Group F match between Milan and UCL, he was substituted in the 15th minute of the second half. Lee Kang-in threatened Milan’s goal but failed to score a goal. In the 43rd minute of the second half, he got a pass from Hakimi, beat the opposing defender with body painting, and his left foot shot hit the post. PSG lost 1-2.

After the game, Lee Kang-in received favorable evaluations. Football media “Footmob” gave him a rating of seven points. He added vitality to his limited time, including a pass success rate of 96 percent (25/26), four passes in attack areas, and 36 touch balls. The soccer media “Gallcom” rated Lee Kang-in with a rating of six, saying, “It provided quality and intensity.”

Jerome Rotang, who once played for PSG in the mid-2000s, praised Lee Kang-in, saying, “He has better skills than Vitinha. In competitive games, he has to be able to protect the ball. Lee Kang-in showed his skills after replacing.”

Didier Domi, who played as a defender for PSG, said, “Lee is not afraid to handle the ball. He has the ability to go back even if he has opponent. He has the ability to endure pressure. He is a useful player in the midfield.”

After playing against Langs, Lee joined the Korean national soccer team during the A-match in November. He scored one goal and one assist in the second preliminary match against Singapore for the World Cup. In the match against China, he contributed to the victory with one assist.

In the last UCL Game 5 match against Newcastle, he played 83 minutes. After the match, Lee Kang-in had mixed views. “The midfielder’s dynamic was not enough, but he was neat. He did not make an influential contribution to the final third,” soccer media “90min” said with a six-point rating. It was a respectable comment.

French media “Foot Mercato” gave Lee a four-point rating, saying, “Lee probably had the worst performance since joining PSG. Lee showed less performance than usual, which was a considerable waste of technology. However, he tried hard. His performance deserves attention, but it was not enough to be decisive.”

“It was bright in the first half. I tried to create it when I caught the ball. I was less involved in the second half,” the British newspaper Golcom said, giving him a five-point rating.

Lee Kang-in’s rating on “Footmob,” a stat-based soccer statistical media, was observed. He was the fifth in the team with 7.3 points. According to “Footmob,” Lee Kang-in recorded one chance creation, 94 ball touches, 8 attack area passes, and 93% (66/71) pass success rate in 82 minutes.

He has committed himself in defense, too. He has had two interceptions and seven recoveries. His winning rate in ground ball competition was rather low at 44 percent, but he has challenged himself to participate in as many as nine competitions.

For Lee Kang-in, the evaluation was a bit disappointing. According to soccer statistics media “Sopa Score”, PSG used the right side where Dembele and Ashraf Hakimi were located as the main attack route. On the other hand, Newcastle proceeded with the attack to the left where Lee Kang-in was.

It was a difficult environment for Lee Kang-in, who played as a left midfielder during the 4-3-3 formation, to play aggressively. Lee Kang-in, whose offensive talent is his strength, had no choice but to play defensively in the situation.

Fortunately, Lee Kang-in’s position in the team is getting better. This time, PSG adopted “Korean Marking,” which was not found in history. It could not have happened if Lee Kang-in was not recognized.
