The former Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur (city in France)
Striker Son Heung-min, who shone as a marksman last season, has met his Waterloo this season, with no goals in seven appearances, leaving fans staggered. Meanwhile, another South Korean player, Lee Kang-in, who has made a name for himself in La Liga, has had a breakout season, contributing one goal and two assists in four appearances this season. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder will be looking to create another surprise when he represents Mallorca in the La Liga match on the road against Real Madrid on the evening of Sunday (11th).
Lee Kang-in has been a member of Valencia's youth academy since the age of 10 and has since been promoted to the first team, scoring three goals in 62 appearances. The technically versatile starlet joined Mallorca as a free agent last summer, and has been particularly impressive this season, despite a mediocre showing last season. In the match against Betis, he dished out an assist, but lost when his team was awarded two penalties. In the match against Juarez Januario, Lee Kang-in scored a goal to help Mallorca win 2-0. In the last match against Quirona, he again contributed 1 assist, showing a high level of performance.
It's worth noting that during his time with Valencia, Lee was sent off for a red card 13 minutes into a La Liga match against Real Madrid in June 2020, which has always been a source of frustration for him. As a result, he has been playing hard against the Galacticos, including last season's away goal against Real Madrid, which Mallorca lost 1-6.
As the two sides meet again this week, Lee Kang-in says it doesn't matter whether he scores or not, the most important thing is to win the game for his team. He is currently in great form and is confident that he will be able to help Mallorca grab points in the game.
