Asiade Stadium in Busan is not full
Despite the presence of Kang-in Lee and Neymar, the Asiade stadium is not full. The stands are quite sparse in the southeast of South Korea.
Verratti loses a lot of balls
Inducted captain for this match, Verratti delivers a rather disappointing performance so far. The Italian does not weigh much in the midfield and multiplies the inaccuracies.
Ethan Mbappé a little tender in the midfield
A bit complicated start to the match for Ethan Mbappé, who seems to be in physical difficulty. Kylian’s little brother, only 16, lost a few dangerous balls. At his side, Verratti is quite discreet. Ndour shows himself a little more. Still 0-0 between PSG and Jeonbuk.

A first for PSG in South Korea
This is the first time that PSG have faced a South Korean club in their history. It is also the first time that the capital’s cub has come to South Korea.

The Jeonbuk in full season in South Korea

The Brazilian, who has not played since February and his ankle injury, will be surrounded by Ismaël Gharbi and Hugo Ekitiké to lead the attack.

New unprecedented collaboration for PSG

Paris accelerated for its transfer window with Dembélé and Ramos
Still in the dark about Kylian Mbappé and some lofters, PSG are still waiting for reinforcements. If the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé is only a matter of time, the management continues to seek a number 9. After having tried for Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen and Rasmus Hojlund, Paris leaned on Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos.
As revealed by RMC Sport, the track leading to the Portuguese is the hottest but Benfica are still demanding 80 million euros. The Lisbon club wants around 80 million bonuses included. And the leaders of Benfica are inflexible.

Lee Kang-In, the star is him
Not initially planned, the match against Jeonbuk was added only a few weeks ago to the program of the Parisian tour. If PSG were only to go to Japan first, the recruitment of Lee Kang-In has upset plans.
Arrived from Mallorca, the South Korean winger is a star in Asia. If his jersey was already out of stock in Japan, when he did not play in the three friendlies of the Ile-de-France club, his popularity rating logically reached heights at home in South Korea.
With the Brazilian Neymar, Lee Kang-In is the other star of this Asian tour of PSG. Recovered from a physical problem, the 22-year-old could play a few minutes this Thursday.
>> It’s here to learn more about the Lee Kang-In phenomenon
Meanwhile Mbappé…
Free in June 2024, Kylian Mbappé refused to activate the option for a third year of contract at PSG until 2025. After this choice, the Parisian management invited him to leave during the summer transfer window but the striker s ‘ refuses and wants to go to the end of the season.
Because of this situation, PSG has decided to deprive the tricolor star of the tour in Asia. Instead, Kylian Mbappé trains with the other lofters at the Poissy training center. This obviously does not prevent him from keeping a smile on his face with the supporters.
