A leading French media outlet has taken out a sword of criticism over Paris Saint-Germain's failed offensive tactics. On the surface, it is a criticism of Luis Enrique. However, as a result, it can be seen as an expression of distrust and disappointment in Lee Kang-in. Coach Enrique's tactic failed because it means that Lee Kang-in, the key player of the tactic, was not able to do it.
France's prestigious media L'Equipe reported on the 9th (Korea time) 'Enrique acknowledged the problem of offensive tactics after the UEFA Champions League defeat against AT Madrid' PSG has a very large temperature difference between league games and Champions League games. In Ligue 1, he has scored 2.9 goals per game. Of course, he is currently leading the league.
But it is sluggish in the Champions League. The number of goals per game dropped to 0.75. Offensive tactics do not work against strong teams in other leagues. There is a hole in PSG's offense. The original PSG attackers included Gonzalo Hamus, Randal Colomuany and Marco Asensio. However, Hamus and Asensio were simultaneously out injured.
To overcome this situation, Enrique came up with a zero-top tactic. It is a tactic that leaves a big role to Lee Kang-in. Usman Dembele and Desiree Doue will take the lead or Colomuani and Asensio will join. In order for the goal to be scored, Lee Kang-in must do his part.
However, this tactic rarely works in the Champions League. The defense of the UCL participating teams is no joke. Lee Kang-in is not overcoming this tough check. In the meantime, his goal-scoring ability also declined significantly.
As a result, Kylian Mbappe's void is again felt greatly. L'Equipe is unable to recruit a replacement for Mbappe and is using an existing striker, but is not successful. Hamus's injury was huge. He points out that the difference between Ligue 1 and the Champions League is large at the end. There was no mention of Lee Kang-in. It may mean that there is no need to even mention it.
