“Lee Kang-in said he had to leave because he was a bad team member. I was surprised.”
Former Valencia coach Jose Bordalas (59) revealed why he had no choice but to let Lee Kang-in (22, Mallorca) go.
Spain’s 카지노사이트Lelebo said on the 5th (Korean time), “What is the reason Valencia sent Lee Kang-in?” and pointed out, “Lee Kang-in will remain as one of the players who gave a lot of transfer fees in Mallorca’s history.”
The media continued, “Lee Kang-in transferred without a transfer fee and recorded 6 goals and 4 assists this season. Premier League teams and Atletico Madrid are willing to invest 15 million euros (about 21.8 billion won) to sign him. Now it is getting more and more More people are asking the same question: Why did Valencia send Lee Kang-in for free?”
Lee Kang-in is spreading his wings in Mallorca, but he grew up in the Valencia youth team from a young age. He was his club’s most cherished prospect, and made his first-team debut in 2018 at the age of 17.
However, Valencia did not give Lee Kang-in many opportunities anymore. He wanted to gain real experience even with his loan, but this was also not possible. In the end, the Valencia board, led by Chairman Peter Lim, released Kang-in Lee as a free agent (FA), saying that he needed to secure a non-EU quota.
Bordalas, who had just arrived at Valencia at the time, had a different idea. He said in an interview with Lelevo, “When I arrived at the club, they said that Kang-in Lee had been sold and had to leave. I didn’t understand. They said Kang-in Lee was a bad team member and had to leave. I was surprised.”
Bordalas added, “I only trained with Lee Kang-in for two days, but I told the board that he was the best. I couldn’t understand letting him go. I remember telling the coaching staff that he was the best during two days of training.” Lee Kang-in’s release was entirely the fault of the Valencia club.
As a result, Valencia’s choice was the worst mistake. Currently, Valencia are struggling in the relegation zone with 34 points and 17th in the league. Even 18th place Getafe and points are the same. The moment it slips in the remaining five games, it is a great crisis to fall to the second division after 36 years since the last 1986-1987 season.
In particular, Marcos Andre, who was recruited instead of Lee Kang-in, is suffering from sluggishness and injury. 4 goals in 54 matches over two seasons, and only 1 goal in 17 matches this season in the league. This is in stark contrast to Lee Kang-in, who quickly became a top player in La Liga.
