Lee Kang-in, 22, will make his first appearance in a Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) jersey.
PSG announced a 27-man squad on its official website on Tuesday (July 20) for its first preseason match against last season’s Ligue 2 champions and Ligue 1 promotion holders Le Havre AC.
PSG will take on Le Havre at Campus PSG on August 22 at 0:00 am. Le Havre are known for having played for the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Paul Pogba.
The roster includes Lee Kang-in, as well as Milan Skriniar, Manuel Ugarte, Cher N’Dour, Luca Hernandez, and Marco Asensio, all newcomers this summer. Kylian Mbappe, Ashraf Hakimi, and other established players also made the list. Neymar, who is injured, was left out.
Lee Kang-in is a newcomer, but he has already adapted to the PSG atmosphere. In training videos and photos released by PSG on their official channels, he’s been seen mingling with the likes of Neymar and Mbappe.
One of the reasons why Lee has been able to get along so well with his teammates so quickly is language. Having lived in Spain since he was 10 years old, Lee speaks fluent Spanish. His immediate coach, Luis Enrique, is Spanish, so he can easily communicate with the coaching staff.
There are also a lot of Spanish speakers among the PSG players. In addition to Carlos Soler, whom he knows from his youth days at Valencia, Fabian Luis, Marco Asensio, and Juan Bernat are Spanish. Ugarte is from Uruguay but speaks Spanish.
Portuguese, a language similar to Spanish, is spoken by Neymar and Marquinhos from Brazil, and Danilo, Vitinha, Henato Sanches, and Nuno Mendes from Portugal. Italian is spoken by Marco Verratti and Gianluigi Donnarumma. Škriniar is Slovak, but he plays in Serie A and is fluent. French, like Spanish, is a Romance language, so it”s likely that he”ll adapt quickly. 스포츠토토
Lee’s quick integration into the team and his chemistry with his teammates is something to look forward to. “I’m a midfielder who can play on both flanks, and I can play in a variety of positions. I am comfortable with the ball,” he said, adding, “I have a great desire to win. I want to help the team and contribute to the team’s victory,” he said.
Lee took his first chance. In the first preseason game against Le Havre, Lee will be looking to make his mark on Enrique, the PSG fans, and his teammates. Above all, he needs to be diligent in order to add variety to Enrique’s tactics. That’s why he needs to be given more chances in the rest of PSG’s preseason and look forward to next season.
