Lee Kang-in (20) started the’Valencia Derby’ with a starter for 4 consecutive games, but was replaced after 63 minutes and lowered his head.

Lee Kang-in’s team, Valencia, lost 0-1 in the 2020-2021 Primera Liga (La Liga) round 27 away game against Levante held at Estadi Ciudad de Valencia in Valencia, Spain on the 13th (Korean time).

Lee Kang-in, who started for four consecutive games, was placed on the second line behind Kevin Kamei on that day and was on the ground for 63 minutes, but was replaced with Manu Bayeho in the second half of the 18th minute without raising the attack point.

The initial trend seemed to be led by Valencia, but soon the Levante counterattack began. After several attempts, Levante finally opened the goal.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Rochina, who caught the ball due to a passing mistake by Muktar Diakabi, struck a decisive pass, and Roher Marti scored the first goal in the penalty area with his left foot. Valencia, who fell behind 0-1, attempted several attacks, but did not take advantage of the chance to make up for it.

Eventually, coach Harvey Gracia invited Lee Kang-in to the first replacement card in the 18th minute of the second half and sent Baye-ho out. On this day, after the replacement, Lee Kang-in, bowing his head on the bench, wrapped his head around him, and it was reflected on the broadcast camera.

Spanish media Marca said, “Lee Kang-in was in despair, covering his face with his hand for more than 10 minutes. He seemed difficult to accept the replacement, but he hid behind his hand and uniform without directly revealing his dissatisfaction.” Reported.

Valencia, who failed to accumulate points, was in 12th place (30 points), and Levante was in 8th place with 35 points.
