Lee Kang-in. /AFPBBNews=News1 Lee Kang-in. /AFPBBNews=News1 Will Lee Kang-in (22) transform into ‘Central LEE’? PSG will play an away match against Toulouse in the second round of Ligue 1 at the Stadium de Toulouse in Toulouse, France at 4:00 am (Korean time) on the 20th.
France’s ‘Le Pargien’ predicted PSG’s starting lineup on the 19th. The change in Lee Kang-in’s position draws attention. Lee Kang-in was listed as a central midfielder, not as a side striker. In the previous league opening game against Lorient, Lee Kang-in started as a striker on the right flank. In his former team, Mallorca, he also played mostly as a winger.
However, with the return of ‘ace’ Kylian Mbappe and the appearance of Ousmane Dembele, who recently changed from Barcelona to a PSG uniform, the possibility of Lee Kang-in playing in midfield has increased. Coach Luis Enrique is expected to put Dembele, who brought in 50 million euros (approximately 73.1 billion won), on a full-scale test, along with Mbafe’s starting appearance.
‘Le Pargien’ predicted that Gonzalo Hamus would be the front striker in PSG’s 4-3-3 formation, with Mbappe and Dembele on the left and right flanks, respectively. Lee Kang-in sits in midfield along with Warren Zaire-Emery. Under him, Manuel Ugarte plays as a defensive midfielder. Lee Kang-in played a total of 82 minutes in the last match against Lorient and performed well. Although he didn’t have any offensive points, he threatened the opponent’s goal by hitting three shots. He not only took charge of PSG’s corner kicks, but also showed off his fierce attacking instincts by posting sharp crosses on several occasions. He diligently went back and forth from the side and center and showed off his unique graceful escape and dribbling.

The media said, “If Mbappe and Dembele are on the flanks, Kang-in Lee may be in danger of not being able to play on the side.” “Lee Kang-in has played in midfield in Mallorca. I believe it can,” he said. ‘PSG Talk’, which mainly conveys PSG news, also said, “PSG sees Lee Kang-in’s creative midfield ability as a long-term alternative for the team.” “Lee Kang-in is versatile. He can also play in midfield. PSG can solve the current problem of not having the right resources in Lee Kang-in,” he said.
He stressed that if PSG fails to recruit Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, Lee Kang-in will have a golden opportunity to play an active role in midfield. ‘PSG Talk’ said, “If Lee Kang-in plays as a midfielder, he can provide good opportunities to forward strikers such as Mbappe, Dembele, and Hamus,” and expected good collaboration with Mbappe and Dembele.
