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

Good to see that he's playing well among the big boys--and learning the art of talking to the media without saying anything.

 

Also confirms my theory that Spanish is the easiest Indoeuropean language for East Asians. I don't know for how long exactly has LKKI been in Spain, but he has no foreign accent.

 

he’s spent almost half his life there. he moved to spain in 2011 when he was 10 years old. i remember he did an interview where he said he learned the basics of spanish after just 4-5 months. he was able to pick it up quick just by hanging out with the spanish kids at the club.

 

i’m watching the valencia vs athletic bilbao game and it’s clear that the team actually plays waaaaaay better with just the 4-4-2 formation.

sucks for kangin but celades might have to stick with the 4-4-2 instead of trying to switch it up into 4-3-3 if he wants to win games.

 

I really like Lee Kang-in but I’m disappointed with his attitude here. I hope that once he becomes really famous, he still has some humility.

yikes, this is actually getting a ton of views & a lot of valencia fans aren’t happy with him. i read some really harsh comments. i get it though. it’s not a good look for him to first act like that when there’s literally just 1 kid. the kid even put in all that effort to make the poster and write in korean.

hopefully he acts differently next time he faces a situation like this otherwise he’s going to lose a lot of respect.

it’s good that he did eventually give the kid a pic and promise of an autograph and his shirt after the game though. he might’ve only done this because he knew they were filming him but i’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

All of the details about this incident weren’t known and the way in which the video is edited makes it way too easy to paint him in a negative light so I take back my criticism of him. Since he’s clarified everything, hopefully this all blows over soon and everyone can just focus on football.

 

Wow really enjoyed 김진짜's youtube. Very detailed analysis using still images only! Due to copyright i guess. Like how he also illustrates his point by inserting clips from other games.

What was the second video? Link is dead now.

 

Sub in, 57th minute

 

hasn’t really had much of an impact today. some good details... some bad details. well, at least he got 30+ minutes, lol.

also, he probably shouldn’t have been subbed in to replace gomez. that was probably the biggest mistake of the game. kangin shouldn’t be playing in his position or on the left unless someone like gomez is available to receive his crosses. celades must have realized this mistake which is why kangin was moved to the right wing with ferran taking his place.

ever since the pre-season i’ve noticed that kangin commits more fouls and gets more yellow cards than he should. he’s really got to work on that because he could’ve gotten a red card today with that last move of his.

 

Lee Kang In red at 90th minute. Dirty tackle, deserved red.

 

Well at least he’s making a mark in La Liga history. He is the first player born in the millennium to be sent off in La Liga.

He got a new nickname from the Atletico fans today... “p*to chino”... you could even hear it on tv

 

a red card. seriously? a straight red card. he’s just starting out his career and he’s already got one under his belt. he’s freaking suspended for 3 league games with that.

can’t say it’s too surprising. he plays way too dangerously/aggressively when he has to defend. so many unnecessary fouls and yellow cards.

after this, i doubt celades will even risk playing him in champions. he’s a liability at this point.

i need kangin to get it together because aside from his goal in that getafe game, he hasn’t done too well. after the whole ‘being rude/ignoring kid fan’ incident in bilbao and then today... geez he’s not becoming known by other football fans for anything positive.
