Lee Kang-in (20, Valencia) started for 4 consecutive games. However, after the game, he showed great disappointment.
Lee Kang-in played for 63 minutes after starting the 2020-21 Spanish Primera Liga in the 27th round Levante held at Ciutat de Valencia in Valencia, Spain on the 13th (Korean time). Although they played a part in the fight, they couldn’t stop their team Valencia from losing 0-1.
Kang-in Lee played the role of scoring by supporting Kevin Gameiro, the front-line striker. At the beginning of the game, he showed an active defensive engagement, and he also opened up a chance to score a free kick by scoring a foul.
But Valencia’s overall performance wasn’t good. In the 11th minute of the first half, Levante Rochina gave a sharp shot, and DeFrutos’ shot hit the post. In the end, it gave the first point. In the 15th minute of the first half, Valencia defender Diacabi couldn’t handle the ball properly, and Rochina, who took the ball, connected to Marti and scored.
Valencia was taken away. The market share was high, but there was no stall. On the other hand, Levante played sharper several times. Eventually, manager Gracia Valencia replaced Lee Kang-in in the 18th minute of the second half and put in Bayeho.
Kang-in Lee recorded an 89% pass success rate. His performance wasn’t bad either. However, after it was replaced, the scene with his head bowed on the bench and wrapped around his head was captured through the broadcast screen. He couldn’t hide his dissatisfied feelings, such as his performance and the situation in which he was replaced.
Valencia continued to show helpless performance afterwards, and in the end, he couldn’t make up for a goal. The director’s mercenary skills did not work. Valencia’s VP is 30 points. It is 12th in the league. The Spanish media’Marca’ also shed light on Lee Kang-in’s feelings of despair.
