Lee Kang-in played an outstanding role in the official debut match for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a French professional soccer team. But PSG had to be content with a draw without scoring.
Lee Kang-in started the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 opening game between PSG and Lorient held at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 13th (Korean time) and digested 82 minutes until the 37th minute in the second half.
Lee Kang-in, who transferred from Mallorca (Spain) last month to PSG, France’s ‘absolute first-team’, made a debut game that would give him a passing score by actively playing on the ground.
Although he could not raise the attack point, he raised expectations by demonstrating his long-term pass and ability to depressurize. He also took full charge of corner kicks and free kicks.
While Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, who led PSG’s attack until last season but are uncertain whether they will be together this season, were not listed on the list, Lee Kang-in started as PSG’s right striker.
Newly recruited striker Gonzalo Hamus stood in the center, with Marco Asensio on the left.
Lee Kang-in broke through between three defenders in the 8th minute of the first half and continued to harass the Lorient defense, starting with giving Hamus a chance to shoot with a penetrating pass.
In the 16th minute of the first half, he dug into the center from the right and fired a left-footed shot, which was blocked by the physical defense.
At the beginning of the second half, sharp shots were fired one after another. The mid-range shot in the 7th minute of the second half, which slightly missed the goal, was particularly disappointing.
Lee Kang-in was replaced by Hugo Ekitique in the 37th minute of the second half.
PSG drove the Lorient camp to the point of recording 78% of the ball, but failed to score.
While defending tenaciously, Lorient sometimes made a sharp attack and made a scene close to the goal.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, Lorient Laurent Abergel’s mid-range shot hit PSG’s goal.
Whoscored.com, a soccer record site, gave Lee Kang-in a rating of 6.9, the fourth highest among PSG starting players and the highest among the three starting strikers.
Lee Kang-in tried 4 dribbles and succeeded 3 times, and the pass success rate was 88%.
