The LEE Popular Syndrome That France Surprised

The most popular man in Paris Saint-Germain is Lee Kang-in.

The official website of France's Ligue 1 website shed light on the 1st, saying, "Lee Kang-in's shirt is selling hot." Lee Kang-in's name stands out more than Kylian Mbappe and Usman Dembele, he said.

The popularity measure can be identified by the sale of uniforms. It has already been known that Lee Kang-in is the top shirt seller of Paris Saint-Germain. Two months ago, French journalist Abdelah Bulma said, "It was Lee Kang-in who sold the most uniforms in Paris Saint-Germain. "It is ahead of Mbappe," he said, drawing attention.

When Lee Kang-in made a meaningful record in the sale of uniforms last summer, Paris Saint-Germain also placed Lee Kang-in's uniform in the center of the official store to respond to the enthusiastic torch of Korean and Asian fans. Lee Kang-in is also actively used in marketing. Lee Kang-in was the official model when he unveiled his third uniform this season.


France is realizing Lee Kang-in's popularity. Ligue 1 said, "Europeans may not yet realize it, but the true superstar of Paris Saint-Germain is Lee Kang-in. Thanks to Lee Kang-in, Korean tourists continue to flock to the home stadium of Paris Saint-Germain, he explained. This heat is also the excitement that Lee Kang-in caused when he played for Mallorca.

Lee Kang-in gained popularity in the second year after settling down smoothly with one goal and two assists in his first year in Mallorca. He also succeeded in moving to Paris Saint-Germain after scoring six goals and six assists in 36 games last season. Lee Kang-in, who was greatly loved by Mallorca fans, recently visited his old team and reaffirmed his affection.

Mallorca has gained a considerable amount through Lee Kang-in. In July, when Lee Kang-in was sent to Paris Saint-Germain, Alfonso Díaz Mallorca CEO said, "Every time a lot of fans came from Seoul, it was directly linked to ticket sales on the day of the game. "I felt competitive when I saw about 500 Korean fans come here to buy tickets, uniforms, and even tour," he said.

The background of Lee Kang-in's syndrome is his ability. Lee Kang-in, who leaped to a big club based on his performance in Mallorca, is also solidifying his position as a key player in Paris Saint-Germain. So far, he has played in six Ligue 1 games and scored one goal and one assist. It is not a bad performance considering the injury suffered at the beginning of the season and the fact that he has been out of power for quite a long time due to his departure from the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Moreover, Luis Enrique is using Lee Kang-in as the main player in Ligue 1 while starting all of them. I've known about Lee Kang-in since I played in Spain recently. As we saw in today's game, it was a great performance, he said. "It's small, but I have the ability to play anywhere." He also contributed well to the defense and scored a goal. It's perfect."

Luis Campos, the general manager who was responsible for recruiting Lee Kang-in, said in an interview with "Le Parisien" in the middle of this month, "I've put a lot of effort into it. In terms of performance, I liked Lee Kang-in very much. It was exactly what Enrique wanted," he said.

Therefore, he is moving all over the place in line with the tactics that coach Enrique wants. Lee Kang-in, who was limited to the side at the beginning of the season, is playing in various ways these days. Although the main task is to release the game from the side, it also plays a role in the front line. Just looking at the last match against Langs, he was positioned as a striker but came down and connected the ball.

In this regard, there were a series of assessments that Lee Kang-in was making a fake No. 9 appearance of Paris Saint-Germain. Coach Enrique also admitted that Lee Kang-in was used as a pulse nine. According to the French media "Paris Stream" shortly after the match against Reims, "We didn't control the ball. He could have replaced Mbappe and Dembele, but they were two who did well in the first half, he said. "So I thought it would be effective for Lee Kang-in to keep the ball in the middle." The second scoring situation is what we thought. We were able to move forward by utilizing the space," he said.

Coach Enrique ordered Lee Kang-in to own the ball because of his performance in training. "Good players can play in various positions," Enrique said. Lee Kang-in is an outstanding player and surprises me every day. "I'm a player who doesn't lose his ball," he expressed satisfaction.

Coach Enrique does not stop smiling while looking at Lee Kang-in's performance. Even when he continued his offensive point for three consecutive games, he said, "Lee Kang-in is a player who played in Spain, so I know him well." He always tries and is good at depression without losing the ball. "I know how to score," he said. "Lee Kang-in always has a desire to play." Such hunger is most necessary for development," he also raised his thumb.

The possibility of playing in the central midfield cannot be ruled out. Didier Domi, who played for Paris Saint-Germain in the past, said, "We need a player to dominate and control the midfield, even though Lee Kang-in shows his strengths from the side. There is a limit to resources to overcome opposition pressure, he said. "Lee Kang-in is not afraid to catch the ball." Even if the opponent sticks, he doesn't fear to turn around. be very experienced. You often succeed in this kind of play. He is even expected to be a very useful talent as a midfielder."

It could become a reality. Warren Zaire-Emery, one of Paris Saint-Germain's best talents this season, suffered a long-term injury while playing for the French national team during the A-match. Zaire-Emery is a resource that has a solid place in the midfield. Jair-Emeri, a third-tier resource working with Manuel Ugarte and Fabian Lewis, has scored two goals and five assists in 16 official matches. In particular, he is bringing aggression to the midfield of Paris Saint-Germain with three assists in four games in the Champions League.

It is urgent to prepare alternative tactics as the weight of Zaire-Emery is significant. Fortunately, Paris Saint-Germain has a Lee Kang-in who can play both sides and center, which is a dominant alternative. Therefore, Lee Kang-in is becoming an indispensable card in Paris Saint-Germain. The flow that has been shown since October is being evaluated as a "game changer" by the French media Le Parisien.


Good reviews from the local media are lined up. Another French media outlet, "Foot Mercato," praised Lee Kang-in in a recent evaluation of Ligue 1 freshmen. The media said, "Lee Kang-in had only played as a substitute in the early days of joining the team and was injured. There was also a period of absence due to the Asian Games, he said. "Now it is slowly settling down." "We began to justify a transfer that cost 22 million euros (about 31.1 billion won)," he said, looking interestingly at the part that drew an inverted curve with an upward trend.

Lee Kang-in is receiving rave reviews regardless of his team and the national team. Jürgen Klinsmann, head coach of the Korean national soccer team, also gave a thumbs-up to his amazing performance during last month's A-match schedule. Coach Klinsmann said, "I've seen Lee Kang-in grow for eight months. I'm happy. Everyone, as well as the leader, will be happy to grow into the performance shown by Lee Kang-in," he said with a smile.

"It will be the same for Korean soccer as well. It is an honor to share this phenomenon, he said. "Young people are showing a sense of responsibility." It is growing and maturing. In addition to his own dribbling and helping, he dedicates himself in defense. It's pushing the envelope. I'll get more expectations," he applauded.

Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), who experienced Lee Kang-in's path first, is also pleased. Son Heung-min said, "I think it's a good phenomenon that players are interested and entertained. As a soccer player, it is fun to see Kang-in grow step by step at every moment. Kangin's talent is ridiculous. I think I should help him without burdening him," he said, showing his senior's responsibility.


Unfortunately, the accumulation of offensive points stopped in Paris Saint-Germain after returning with good strength from the Clinsman. However, he has good influence on the ground. He also received the fourth-highest rating in the team in Group F of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League group stage against Newcastle United on the 29th of last month.

Lee Kang-in played 82 minutes as a starter on the day. It attempted a total of 71 passes and correctly connected 66 times, boasting a 93% success rate. He had six passes in the attack area and created one opportunity. His participation in defense was also excellent. He actively blocked his opponent enough to try four tackles. His record of seven recoveries and four successful bowl contests was also excellent.

As he demonstrates his skills, his popularity follows and he gradually begins to be compared to world-class players. Legendary winger David Ginola from the French national team recently said, "Lee Kang-in is the right person to replace Lionel Messi, who left for Inter Miami," adding, "Lee Kang-in has looked a lot like Messi's left foot since he played for Mallorca." "Lee Kang-in has similar gestures and movements to Messi when passing with his left foot," he praised.

It is not the first time that Lee Kang-in has been compared to Messi. At the end of the match against Lorient, where Lee Kang-in made his debut on the French stage, the Ligue 1 secretariat said, "Messi did a great job in the position he took. Lee Kang-in, who became the first Korean to play for Paris Saint-Germain, must have been satisfied with his performance," he said, acknowledging as Messi's successor. 스포츠토토
