Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is strong.
Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain, PSG) has controlled his physical strength in his team’s game for the first time in a long time. He played as a substitute at the end of the second half in the French professional soccer league 1 match against AS Monaco. It is interpreted as an arrangement of physical strength in preparation for the UEFA Champions League match during the week.
Lee Kang-in played as a substitute in the 41st minute of the second half in the 24th round of the 2023-24 French League 1 away match at Stade Louis II in Monaco, France, on the 2nd . Due to the short playing time, he did not receive ratings from stat-based media such as Pot Mob and Sofa Score.
This is the first time Lee Kang-in has been replaced in League 1 games this season, and this is the second time he has started on the replacement list. Last November, he sat on the bench and couldn’t play as a substitute, but coincidentally, his opponent at the time was AS Monaco.
Lee Kang-in, who has been a starter for the last two consecutive games, has taken a breather due to his physical arrangement in preparation for the second leg of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Real Sociedad (Spain) during the week. Even after missing the match against AS Monaco in November last year, Lee Kang-in started the UEFA Champions League match against Newcastle United (England) during the week.
In addition to Lee Kang-in, Usman Dembele and Randall Colo Muani also played as second-half replacements to control their conditions. Kylian Mbappe, who started as a starter, also played in the first half, and Gonzalo Hamus and Luca Hernandez were replaced in the early second half and finished the game early.
He did not leave an impressive record as he was put into the game at the end of the game. Lee Kang-in only made four blushes and attempted four passes, making three. There was not enough time to leave various records, including shots and dribbles.

With Lee Kang-in as a substitute, PSG drew with AS Monaco without scoring and drew for two consecutive games. In the match against Stadren on the 26th of last month, PSG was not able to compete 1-1.
PSG, which put Mbappe and Marco Asensio on the offensive line with Hamus at the center, led the game with 68 percent of the ball possession rate, but the number of shots was 14-14. The team had a slight lead of 7-6 in the number of shots on goal, but it did not come to fruition.
In the pot mob rating, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma recorded six saves and was named the game’s best player with a rating of 8.6. While all four-back defense players also received ratings in the 7-point range, all three strikers at the forefront stayed in the 6-point range.
PSG, which has accumulated one point, has recorded 55 points (16 wins, seven draws and one loss), widening its gap with second-ranked Brestua (43 points) to 12 points. AS Monaco ranks third with 42 points.
After the match, PSG will face Real Sociedad in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 at 5 a.m. on the 6th at San Sebastian Realle Arena in Spain.
PSG, which won 2-0 at home last month by scoring consecutive goals by Mbappe and Bradley Barcola, has dominated the upper hand in advancing to the quarterfinals. In the second round, PSG can advance to the quarterfinals even if it loses by one goal.
Lee Kang-in was absent in the first round due to symptoms of a virus infection. The showdown with his best friend Takefusa Kubo of Japan was also canceled, and in the second round of 16, Lee Kang-in and Kubo are expected to face off on the UEFA Champions League stage.

Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in was at the center of controversy over his conflict with national team captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham) at a dinner on the eve of the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. In the so-called controversy over the retrograde, Lee Kang-in personally visited Son Heung-min and apologized, and called each member of the Asian Cup at the time to apologize. 토토사이트
Lee Kang-in said on social media at the time, “I did something that I should never have done at a meal. I thought it was important for (Son) Heung-min to visit his brother in person and offer a sincere apology, and I had time to understand the importance of captaincy and reflect on myself through long conversations. I contacted my other seniors and colleagues one by one and apologized. I am deeply reflecting on myself.”
“I don’t think I did a good job with my actions either. However, I believe that it is one of the captain’s responsibilities to act in a bad way for the team,” Son said, adding, “As the captain of the national team, I sincerely apologize once again. Kang-in is having a hard time. Please forgive me just once with a generous heart.”
