In the national team since September 24 with South Korea to compete in the Asian Games, Kang-In Lee is on the verge of winning a first title with his country this Saturday. Indeed, South Korea is playing the final of the Asian Games against Japan.
A crucial match that could change his career on several levels. A victory in the exercise would be excellent news for him, but also for Paris Saint-Germain. If the capital club agreed to release its player for this event, it is above all to reduce the period of his military service.
Indeed, South Koreans are forced to perform military service for 21 months before the age of 28. A long period which can slow down a professional career. However, only a victory during these Games can reduce this period. A success this Saturday with his selection would reduce his military service to 3 weeks instead of 21 months.
A role to play at PSG upon his return from selection?
Very interesting during his debut in the Parisian jersey, despite injuries which slowed down his momentum, Kang-In Lee has a card to play in the red and blue squad upon his return from selection. A technically comfortable player with sublime passing skills, his presence could be valuable in Luis Enrique’s squad.

On his return, he should play in the heart of the game in the Spanish coach’s 4-3-3 alongside Warren Zaire-Emery and Manuel Ugarte. He will compete with Vitinha. The South Korean can also play on the wings, but his technical and passing qualities would be more useful in the heart of the game.
The former Mallorca player could also add his touch in a 4-2-3-1 as a playmaker. Luis Enrique tested this tactical device during training by aligning Ousmane Dembélé in the center as number 10 Kang-In Lee offers many solutions to his trainer and there is no doubt that his return is eagerly awaited.
