Coach Enrique 'surprise praise' for Lee Kang-in's old teacher

He gave a thumbs up to Lee Kang-in's old teacher.

Spanish media "Marca" released an interview with Luis Enrique of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on the 22nd. In the interview, Lee Kang-in's former Majorca teacher Javier Aguirre is drawing attention.

Enrique said in an interview, "If you look at Lee Kang-in, you can see Aguirre's greatness. Thanks to him, Lee Kang-in has grown. Aguirre taught Lee that he needs to have good defense as well as offense. Thanks to these lessons, other coaches are benefiting from this."

Lee Kang-in left Valencia for Majorca in 2021. Aguirre then took the helm of Majorca in 2022 and began coaching Lee. He was selected as a firefighter to save Majorca, which was in the relegation zone. Aguirre eventually managed to stay in the top flight by staying 16th in Spain's La Liga.

And last season Aguirre showed strong trust in Lee Kang-in. Throughout the last season, he actively used Lee Kang-in and took the team to the next level. Lee Kang-in has been reborn as the team's ace, and played in a total of 39 games last season alone, recording six goals and six assists. And based on these performances, he joined PSG last summer.

Since then, Lee Kang-in has been steadily incorporating himself into PSG. He played in 23 matches in all competitions this season, recording four goals and three assists. In the match against French Ligue 1 team Montpellier in the 2023-24 season on the 18th, he exchanged a 2-1 pass with Randal Colo Muani and cut through the opponent's net with a fantastic shot. PSG won the match 6-2 thanks to Lee Kang-in's goal.  토토사이트
