Enrique said in a recent interview that `My job is to do unfair things"What 16 players showed against Girona shows they are qualified to start. However, only 11 players are eligible to start. So I'm going to be unfair throughout this season. I hope it will be unfair to many of them. It means they are ready, and it shows they are at a high level. I tried the best possible way, but it was unfair to 4 or 5 players. That's life," he said, explaining that he had no choice but to be unfair to some players, including Lee Kang-in, in the selection of starters. In fact, despite his outstanding performance, Lee Kang-in has consistently exchanged starting and replacing lists this season.
Lee Kang-in played in various positions and fascinated Enrique and fans. Attention is also focusing on whether the recent performance will lead to an opportunity to become a built-in main player.
