Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) drew 1-1 with Nantes in the 29th round of the 2024-2025 French League 1 at Stade de la Bozoar in Nantes, France on the 23rd (Korea time). Lee Kang-in started as a right striker in the 4-3-3 formation and scored Vitinha's first goal assist before being replaced by Gonzalo Hamus in the 18th minute of the second half.
Lee Kang-in poked the ball through the dense defense in the 33rd minute of the first half. Vitinya flooded it and connected it with a left-footed non-stop shot to score a goal. It is the first offensive point in about two months since the match against Lyon on February 24.
Lee Kang-in has six league goals and six assists with this help.
Lee Kang-in played for 63 minutes and recorded two chances, one shot and one assist. Football statistics media "Footmob" gave him a rating of 7.8 points. This is the third highest rating in his team after Vitinha (8.4 points) and Marquis (7.9 points).
Lee Kang-in was given 7.10 points for "Huscoordcom" and 7.3 points for "Sofa Score." The ratings are generally high.
Lee Kang-in returned as a defensive midfielder against Le Havre on the 20th. After injuring his ankle in the World Cup Asian qualifying match against Oman about a month ago, he returned to the team 31 days later. He elevated his physical condition by playing 73 minutes in the match against Le Havre, and continued his sense of play by starting in the match against Nantes.
Coach Enrique, who used Lee Kang-in as a central midfielder in the last game, showed flexible tactical operation this time by putting him as a right winger instead of Bradley Barcola.
In the 38th minute of the second half, PSG scored an equalizer to Nantes' Douglas Augusto to end the match in a 1-1 draw.
PSG added a draw, continuing its unbeaten streak of 30 matches since the opening of the league. With 24 wins, six draws and 78 points, PSG is leading the league by 23 points from second-ranked Marseille. Having already confirmed its fourth consecutive league title early, PSG is playing the rest of the season with the goal of winning the UEFA Champions League.
PSG is advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League. It will have an away match against Arsenal in the first round of the semifinals on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Luis Enrique's tactical laboratory continued on the day as well. He was used as a defensive midfielder in the match against Le Havre, but was hired as a right-handed striker in the match against Nantes. He also displayed good performances in both games, displaying potential going forward.
Enrique once again expressed his opinion on the tactical laboratory. "I'm thinking of using Lee as a defensive midfielder again. He has excellent passing skills. Since he is not in his original position, he can strengthen his defense capability, but he can test it as much as he wants," he said in a press conference ahead of the match against Nantes. 메이저놀이터
