The fate of Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), who tried to leave in search of a new career after being classified as a surplus resource in the team, is fluctuating badly. A turning point of fate occurred when PSG coach Luis Enrique suddenly expressed his position that `I trust Lee Kang-in.'
Enrique was not saying anything empty. Lee Kang-in was included in the UEFA Super Cup entry of 20. It can be interpreted as a sign that it may give more chances in the new season. Of course, it is unclear whether Lee Kang-in will play in the Super Cup, but if he goes to the Super Cup and catches Enrique's attention with his active movement, there may be a big change in his position within the team.

At one point, attention was paid to whether the Super Cup would be able to hold a showdown between Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min was the captain of Tottenham when he won the Europa League. If I had stayed on the team, I would have played. On the other hand, Lee Kang-in was a backup at PSG. Therefore, whether Lee Kang-in is included in the Super Cup entry was a prerequisite for the showdown with Son Heung-min.
However, as Son Heung-min left Tottenham on the 7th and joined LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), there was no confrontation with Lee Kang-in. Now the remaining question was whether Lee Kang-in would be able to play on the Super Cup stage.

Lee Kang-in's joining the Super Cup entry is considered quite an unexpected fact. This is because until just a week ago, Lee Kang-in and PSG were likely to break up.
Spain's leading media Marca reported on the 5th that `Lee Kang-in wants more time to play and is considering a transfer to PSG' and 'Napoli and Manchester United want Lee Kang-in'. Lee Kang-in was also thinking about getting out of the team in search of a new opportunity rather than spending his years with surplus resources at PSG.
French media VIPSG also reported on the 10th 'Lee Kang-in is considering a transfer two years after joining PSG. Lee Kang-in wants to take on a bigger role and wants to leave PSG this summer to secure time to play.'" The Premier League and Serie A clubs are watching Lee Kang-in. In particular, Napoli and Manchester United are ahead in the competition to recruit Lee Kang-in. This summer's transfer market is likely to be a turning point for Lee Kang-in's career, he said.

And immediately, Lee Kang-in entered the Super Cup entry with other key players. This seems to be due to the aftermath of Neves' ban, who played as the main midfielder last season. Neves was sent off for pulling the hair of Chelsea's main player Cucurella in the FIFA Club World Cup final. As a result, the two-game ban was confirmed and the team was banned from the UEFA Super Cup.
In any case, Lee Kang-in has a very good opportunity. The narrative that Lee Kang-in has grown further after overcoming the crisis of being kicked out of PSG, Europe's top club, can greatly increase his value. There is a possibility that the door to the opportunity will be opened in the Super Cup. Attention is focusing on whether Lee Kang-in will be able to play on the Super Cup stage for the first time in 17 years since Park Ji-sung.
