PSG will play a home game against Lille in the 21st round of the 2023-24 French League 1 at 5 a.m. on the 11th in Paris, France.
Ahead of the match on the day, PSG showed a welcoming face. It is Lee Kang-in. Since early last month, Lee has been selected to the Korean national team for the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup. During the tournament, he had three goals and one assist. After losing in the semifinal match against Jordan, he returned to his team.
PSG, which recruited Lee Kang-in ahead of this season, has yet to spend much time together. Lee Kang-in's injury and the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Cup were repeatedly waiting. Nevertheless, Lee Kang-in made a strong impression with three goals and two assists in 16 games.
With a welcome return, coach Luis Enrique decided to give Lee Kang-in a chance to catch his breath. "Lee Kang-in was on leave as instructed by his coach after a long journey of the Asian Cup," he said at an official press conference ahead of the match against Lille.
He drew a line when asked if Lee Kang-in had an injury or other problem. "It's not like that," coach Enrique said. "I hope Lee Kang-in's condition is perfect and he is tanning." 토토사이트
Lee Kang-in wanted to return quickly and contribute to the team despite a tight schedule. Coach Enrique said, "Lee Kang-in wanted to return to training and games," but added, "I will take a vacation until next week."
PSG will play the first leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 against Real Sociedad (Spain) at home on the 15th after a league match against Lille. Considering the importance of the game, it is highly likely that it will be a return match for Lee Kang-in. If Lee Kang-in plays against Sociedad, he will face his best friend Takefusa Kubo (Japan).
