France's RMC Sports reported on the 21st (Korea time) 'Enrique wants to be very unfair to the players this season.
Coach Enrique attended a press conference ahead of the fifth round of the French League in the 2024-2025 season at Stade Auguste Delon in Reims, France, on the 22nd.
Prior to the game against Reims, Enrique's interest was in the starting list. In the previous European Champions League match against Girona, Enrique decided to send out the players he had consistently insisted on starting this season immediately after returning from injury. However, PSG showed better performance after the players went out as replacements and Lee Kang-in and Desiree Du were put in, and was able to win with a dramatic winning goal at the end of the second half.
RMC Sports said 'Enrique wants to be as unfair as possible to the team's composition this season. According to him, this would be a sign that several players are at a level where they can play. Lee Kang-in did not start despite being praised by coach Eric Roy after the last Brest match, but Enrique said this could be cruel, but he thought it was good news.

"This is the only requirement when signing with players, and whether it's ugly or beautiful, it's what PSG coaches should do. I tried the best possible way, but it was unfair to 4 or 5 players. That's life," he said, explaining to some players, including Lee Kang-in, that he had no choice but to be unfair.
However, he did not spare any praise for Lee Kang-in. He said "Lee Kang-in signed a contract with the club before I arrived"I knew him well in La Liga as well. He's a different special player. You can play in midfield and attack, and you play well to fit our thoughts. It's intelligent with or without the ball. Can play in multiple positions and is very versatile, physically strong and technically brilliant. I'm glad to have him with me."

Despite this performance, if Enrique continues to judge only the replacements as competitive players comparable to the main players, it is clear that Lee Kang-in will not have a great opportunity to take the lead. If the player who currently boasts the best form continues to sit only on the bench, concerns about his position will inevitably grow.
Coach Enrique, who consistently gives praise to Lee Kang-in, clarified his thoughts on the starting lineup despite the praise this time. In order for Lee Kang-in to consistently start, it will be important to quickly be included in the 11 players who are not treated unfairly.
