Lee Kang-In (24, attacking midfielder, Paris Saint-Germain) has openly expressed his desire for more playing time at PSG. In a press conference with Adidas, the South Korean emphasized his desire to work harder and take advantage of every opportunity, while reiterating the importance of progressing within the Parisian squad.
“Even without playing, I knew there were still opportunities. It also made me think about the need to work harder. I think the Champions League final, which I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl, is the most special match.
The time spent preparing for the match and sharing time with my teammates was the most precious for me.”
At Paris Saint-Germain, competition is fierce, especially in the attacking sector, where Lee Kang-In has to compete with established players and international recruits. Despite a few encouraging appearances, the South Korean playmaker is struggling to establish himself as a starter under Luis Enrique. This recent admission reflects a genuine desire: aware that every minute counts in such a competitive dressing room, Lee acknowledges his need to adapt and is redoubling his efforts in training.
By looking ahead to the Champions League final, he also shows his attachment to PSG and the patience he displays, even when he is confined to the bench. His words highlight his mental progress: Lee Kang-In knows that his success depends on perseverance in the face of competition and his ability to seize rare opportunities to convince the Parisian staff to give him more responsibility.
