Jürgen Klinsmann, coach of the Asian nation, made very complimentary remarks about PSG. “ Looking at his evolution over the last 6 to 8 months, I’m pretty happy.(…). Maybe Luis Enrique will do the same in his team (left side). It’s gratifying to see Lee Kang-in to grow. Creative players are needed against defensive teams. We also need aggressive players who have the ability to penetrate the box and win 1v1s. Lee Kang-in played this role today. »
