Lee Kang-In @ Valencia CF 2019-2020 [R]

The transfer window is still open so I’m still holding out hope that Kangin can get out of Valencia on a loan this season.

 

Oh my goodness. I was literally praying for Kangin to do well today but then as soon as he gets on the pitch he makes a ‘Toco en Hugo Duro’ mistake. I cannot.

It’s only still just the last game of the preseason but he can’t be losing balls like that. Marcelino is never going to risk giving him opportunities to play with those type of moments.

I’d like to see him gain experience on a team where there isn’t as much pressure on him and he can make mistakes without getting highly criticized. He might even need to consider going to the Segunda division.

 

So bench tomorrow or totally out of it?

 

k news said that he is on the roster so prob da bench

 

out with injury

 

He’s not on the squad list that was released.

He’s been absent from all of the team training sessions this week. I read on Twitter that he’s experiencing physical discomfort? Who knows.

I’d like to think that he’s MIA because he’s getting his affairs in order before he makes a move to a loan destination, lol. Probably not though....

I hope this is the case though. I seriously doubt he’ll get to play any meaningful minutes this season.

 

How is it possible that an 18 year old youngster who got to the finals of the U-20 world cup carrying the team on his back can't find a loan to a first division team? Did LKI just not want a loan?

 

I’m sure there have been offers.

But in an interview he did while in Poland he said “Valencia is my home. Working with this team gives me a lot of pleasure & from the next season I want to work hard to strengthen my position.”

I’d say he has the desire to stay (and apparently owner Lim also wants him to remain). Perhaps he’s confident enough in himself to think that he’ll be able to win over Marcelino and earn more minutes.

If he doesn’t leave right now, at least he’ll have the chance to leave on loan come January.

 

Asking myself the same question.

 

So, Carlos Soler injured his ankle in training yesterday. It’s said that he might be out for the next 6-8 weeks. It’s very unfortunate because he’s been playing extremely well lately.

Anyways, this is a great opportunity for Ferran and Kangin to get minutes on that right wing, maybe even as starters. If I was Marcelino, I’d put my trust in the youngsters for at least a couple of games, esp. against weaker opponents, to see how they cope. This is probably the biggest chance Kangin has to get increased playing time this season.

Unfortunately, I also have a feeling that Daniel Wass will be moved up to that position and Piccini left at the back, lol. It’s also a possibility that Cheryshev or Jason (if he stays) or even a new reinforcement (Rafinha or Thauvin?) will be appointed holder of that position before Ferran and Kangin. You know how Marcelino is with the Champions League on the line...

 

Aside from LKI, Marcelino is managing a team on that is ready to take the push into another level. Naturally a manager is going to be cautious when experimenting with player selection...that's understandable.

that in view, perhaps a loan for LKI would be the clear cut choice...best for all parties.
