[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Lee Kang-in couldn’t hit the ground again this time.
Valencia lost 1-2 in an away match against Granada in the round 16 of La Liga in the 2020/21 season held in Los Carmenes, Granada, Spain on the 31st (Korea time).
Valencia went ahead with Kevin Gameiro’s opening goal in the 35th minute, but in the extra time of the first half, Granada’s Robert Kennedy equalized with a free kick. In the 87th minute, Jorge Molina of Granada returned the cross from the right flank to the header and scored a reverse goal.
Lee Kang-in, who was named on the bench list, missed the game on this day. Lee Kang-in, who is known to have expressed great dissatisfaction with just four minutes in the past 14th round Barcelona away game, missed the 15th round home game against Seville due to a weak injury.
Lee Kang-in, who returned to the team immediately after one game, missed two games in a row without being selected by coach Harvey Garcia due to a drop-off variable.
In the 76th minute, Valencia, who had two men, removed Dennis Shericev and put Yunus Musa in, and in the 87th minute Vicente Escerdo was removed and Cova Leang put in. Valencia removed Kevin Gameiro in the 66th minute before putting in Manu Bayehor.
Valencia currently has 15 points and the same points as Real Valladolid, which is 18th, but is in 17th place ahead of the goal.
In Valencia, which is ending 2020 in the relegation zone, Lee Kang-in still quietly ended 2020 without Gracia’s choice.
