The French media shed light on Lee Kang-in's score and were also interested in why Vitinha conceded a penalty.
France's Le Parisien said on the 16th (Korea time) "Vitinya was a penalty kicker, but this time he conceded the last goal to Lee Kang-in. He explained why after the game."
Lee Kang-in's PSG beat Atletico Madrid (Spain) 4-0 in the first Group B match of the FIFA Club World Cup held at Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles on the same day.
Lee Kang-in started on the bench. Lee Kang-in, who played as a substitute in the 27th minute of the second half, scored an extra penalty kick to lead the team to victory.
As a result, Lee Kang-in scored in the French League 1 in November last year, and then scored in his team for the first time in a long time. Lee Kang-in did not get a chance to score as his playing time decreased since the middle of this season. His playing time continued to decrease and he couldn't take the opportunity.
The media said, "Thanks to PSG's overwhelming performance, Lee Kang-in got a chance to play. And he scored his team's fourth and final goal with a penalty kick at the end of the game"Originally, Lee Kang-in was not designated as a penalty kicker." Vitinya, who was trying to play as a kicker, was the team's main penalty kicker, but he handed the ball over to Lee Kang-in, and Lee Kang-in scored without hesitation by attempting to shoot."
Vitinya explained the reason for the penalty concession after the match.
Vitinya "This is something I've already talked about with the director and other kickers. I usually kick it. If there is Usman Dembele, he kicks. I was a kicker today, he said, but I don't need a goal because I'm not a striker. If the gap is wide enough, we give a chance to a striker who needs a goal. That was the case with Lee Kang-in today."
Lee Kang-in scored his 12th career goal in all tournaments as a member of PSG. With this goal, there is a growing possibility that Lee Kang-in will continue his performance at the FIFA Club World Cup. The performance at this tournament can increase the possibility of staying at PSG, and it can be an opportunity for many teams to pour out their love calls. At the moment, it is most important to regain the confidence that has fallen.
