[인터풋볼] Reporter Ha Geun-soo = Lee Kang-in, who returned to Spain, will face Barcelona, the ‘best in La Liga’. Barcelona supporters also focused their attention on Lee Kang-in, who is showing off his sharp toes.
Mallorca will face Barcelona in the 7th round of La Liga for the 2022-23 season to be held at the Visit Mallorca Estadi located in Mallorca, Spain on the 2nd at 4 am (Korean time). Currently, Mallorca (8 points) is in 10th place and Barcelona (16 points) is in 2nd place.
All matches in September, including the UEFA Nations League (UNL), have ended. As the league resumes, Mallorca brings Barcelona home. Mallorca, who captured Almeria (1-0 win) in the last round, challenges Barcelona for a ‘giant killing’.
At the center is Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in, who has secured a starting position under coach Javier Aguirre this season, is roaming the ground in all directions regardless of front and rear, attack and defense. He has 1 goal and 3 assists in 6 league games, along with Alejandro Valde (Barça), Hugo Guillamon (Valencia) and Joao Felix (ATM) for the most assists in the league.
Barcelona fans also checked Lee Kang-in. Barcelona supporters community ‘FC Barsa’ noted on the 30th, “We need to pay special attention to Lee Kang-in in the match against Mallorca tomorrow. He is one of the best prospects in Korea and he is showing good performances at the beginning of the season.”
He added, “Lee Kang-in has scored 8 goals with Bedat Mouriki so far and has become the most important person in Mallorca. His performance is also confirmed by statistics. Along with Valde, Giyamon and Felix, he leads the assists division.” He was wary of Lee Kang-in, who showed a sharp connection.
The variable is the condition. The Korean national football team, ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, has selected Lee Kang-in after a long time. Although both Costa Rica and Cameroon did not step on the ground, the ‘19,000km round-trip flight’ crossing Asia and Europe cannot be ignored. Lee Kang-in, who was dissatisfied with his failure to participate in the national team, challenges Barcelona for his fifth attack point of the season.
