[인터풋볼] Reporter Kim Dae-sik = A Spanish media referred to Lee Kang-in as a’problem’ and mentioned that if he did not renew his contract, he could sell it immediately.
‘Deporte Valenciano’, a local magazine in Valencia, wrote an article titled “How should Valencia act in front of the’problem’, Kang-in Lee,” on the 23rd (Korean time).
In the article, the media said, “If Lee Kang-in does not renew his contract with Valencia before December 31st, the club should sell him immediately on January 1st. This is an irreversible issue from a sports and business perspective. Even if Valencia is a football club, we must not forget that it is a company.”
The media’s argument is nothing but a representation of Valencia’s position. It was good for both the club and the players that Lee Kang-in grew into a prospective prospect in Valencia and climbed to the first team stage. However, after his debut in the first group, Lee Kang-in has never been properly guaranteed a business trip.
Of course, last season, it is true that Lee Kang-in showed poor performance, including the issue of sending off. But it’s definitely different this season. In a situation where major resources were transferred, Lee Kang-in proved his worth every time he came out.
The record shows. Valencia has never been victorious in a match in which Lee Kang-in did not appear as a starter in the league. Valencia’s reality is that Lee Kang-in is showing poor performance with 3 draws and 2 losses in 5 matches after being unable to play the game due to corona 19 confirmation and injury problems.
Nevertheless,’Deporte Valenciano’ directly compared Ferran Torres and Kang-in Lee, who left for Manchester City, and underestimated the performance of Kang-in Lee. In fact, Lee Kang-in was not a selection resource for any of the coaches he had been through.”
Finally, the media said, “Valencia wants to renew the contract. He also signed a great deal for a player who couldn’t play 980 minutes to turn 20 in the first division. No one knows what will happen in the future, but Lee Kang-in’s situation is different from that of Peran, and it is not at all similar.”
