[골닷컴] Reporter Man-Sung Han = Valencia’s new midfielder Lee Kang-in (19), who started three consecutive games in Spain’s La Liga, was criticized for not showing satisfactory performance.
Valencia ended up winning a 1-1 draw in the 2020/21 Spanish La Liga round 19 game against Osasuna on the 22nd (Korean time). Osasuna is a weak team that remains in 19th place in the relegation zone in La Liga as of this season. However, Valencia barely drew 1-1 after struggling with contributing the opening goal in the 42nd minute against Osasuna at home. It was also pointed out that Lee Kang-in was passive in joining the defense in the preemptive scoring situation of Jonathan Kayeri.

The Spanish media gave a light glance to Lee Kang-in’s performance as Valencia ended in a disappointing draw against Osasuna. Valencia’s local sports media’Plasa Deportiva’ gave Lee Kang-in 4 points after the game was over and pointed out that he did not show such an activity, saying, “It was invisible”. ‘Plaza Deportiva’ expressed regret, saying, “Lee Kang-in was replaced after he had no influence on the game. He is currently not steady.”

Another Valencian sports media’Deporte Valenciano’ also said, “Lee Kang-in wasn’t doing well on this day. His lack of consistency is often spotted by him. He showed a play that could show his level several times, but at the time of the day. “It wasn’t visible as it passed. That’s why Valencia coach Javier Gracia had to replace him shortly after the first half ended,” he added.
Meanwhile, Valencia has fallen to 14th place in La Liga with 4 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses as of this season. The gap between Valencia, 14th, and Elche, 18th, who are relegated, is only 3 points.
