    What's LKI's ceiling? Best case scenario, a David Silva? David Silva is a world class player.

    What's a more realistic, tempered, yet optimistic expectation? A Bernardo Silva-type player? Bernardo Silva is one notch below world class, but he has games where he's absolutely world class. A very good player. Can we expect him to play that type of role? Bernardo Silva has a little more pace than LKI in my opinion, and can absolutely play winger despite his relatively weak pace for a winger. Of course he can also play very well centrally.

    LKI has the skills to get past the first man, but he lacks to pace to beat multiple players on his own.

    Maybe there's a better comparison for LKI's ceiling/playing style that I can't think of. What do you guys think?

    Best case scenario, he's KDB. Worst case scenario, he's KJC.

    I can see why you say that. He reminds me a lot of David Silva whenever I see him play. Lets not forget, David Silva a player that also graduated from Valencia and their youth.

    The kid is NT ready. You can't tell me this match wasn't a level above 80-90% of AFC opposition. Meanwhile some of our current players look lost against the Philippines...

    Love how his teammates sprang to his defense after that cheap shot. They might be Spaniards but they know the meaning of dongseng.

    Dreaming of a Xavi like player in KNT one day, I don't think it will ever realise.

    I think Lee Kangin has two major weakness: his pace is not very good and he's phyisically weak (albeit he's 17 so he gets a pass).

    And he relies too much on his left foot.

    Just imagine what he could be if he wasn't so one-footed.

    a lot of robbens injuries are focused on his right leg. if he was two legged he would just be out injured all the time

    Ok I'm just going to be really honest here but I'm a very left sided person (I use left hand and foot) and I have a lot of curiosity about this things. But when it comes to sport left hand/foot is a huge advantage over right hand/foot. So a lot of elite players that are left footed are very reliant of it because it gets the job done. If I were to give examples of player similar to LKI, it'll be Ozil and David Silva (especially Ozil). Also in the last match it showed LKI can shoot with his right.
    I think most right footed players are more two footed but their right foot isn't as good as left footed footballers' left foot. Their left foot is more OP. So I got no problem of it.

    Yes lets not have any expectations because that's something fans don't do -_-
    It's part of the package ok?

    Messi has a pretty good right foot. It's just that his left foot is the best foot ever lol. Messi's right foot is as good as many right footed professional footballers. LKI's right foot reminds me of Hwang Ui Jo's left foot, and that's not a compliment lol.

    If only he had prime Robben's pace.
