Lee Kang-in was left out of the Paris Saint-Germain predicted best 11.
Transfermarkt, a site specializing in football transfers, said, “(PSG) is a really good team even without Kylian Mbappe and Marco Verratti,” and released the best 11 expected for the 2023-24 season. It is a lineup that contains opinions of the media, and includes players who have not yet confirmed their transfer.
PSG freshman Lee Kang-in was excluded from the list. Neymar, Colo Muani (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Ousmane Dembele (FC Barcelona) were named at the forefront.
Lee Kang-in started as a right wing forward in a friendly match against Le Havre on the 22nd of last month, and he predicted that Dembele would take the position. Dembele, who has one year left on his contract with Barcelona, is currently strongly linked to PSG. There were even reports that PSG and Dembele had already reached an individual agreement.
On top of that, it is noticeable that “main gun” Mbappe is missing from the offensive line. The seat was reserved by Moani. Muani is one of the options for PSG looking for an attacker. Last season, he played in 32 matches in the German Bundesliga, scoring 15 goals and 11 assists, proving his versatility.
The three midfield positions are occupied by Fabian Luis Pena, Manuel Ugarte and Vitina. There is a possibility that Lee Kang-in will fill one of these positions, but the media believes that the three positions are likely to start. In particular, Ugarte, who was born in 2001 with a new face and the same age as Lee Kang-in, is highly regarded locally.
Nuno Mendes, Lucas Hernandez, Marquinhos and Ashraf Hakimi were expected to form a back four-line, while Gianluigi Donnarumma defended the goal.
It is not yet known whether Lee Kang-in will be the starting pitcher. The pre-season tour was an opportunity to strengthen and confirm Lee Kang-in’s position, because he was injured in the beginning and could not be put into the game.
It is too early to confirm its use. Lee Kang-in, whose main position is an attacking midfielder, has shown outstanding performance on the side. He energized his attack by delivering the ball to his teammates with the accuracy of his kick after de-pressing rather than a straight run. It remains to be seen how new coach Luis Enrique will utilize Lee Kang-in.
