He got off to a pretty impressive start in his second season, but he stepped on the bench as a substitute for two consecutive games.

Stable control of the midfield and the ability to create opportunities will be a great asset for Paris Saint-Germain tactics. If Lee Kang-in maintains a consistent good performance, Luis Enrique is likely to give him more time to play. 토토사이트 모음
