In Spain, Takefusa Kubo was included in the Team of the Year rather than Lee Kang-in.
Lee Kang-in had his best season. Lee Kang-in, who spent his second season in Mallorca this season, is breaking his career high by recording 6 goals and 6 assists in the league. Along with playmaking, which was his greatest strength, his defense and speed have also been upgraded.
He has also become a player to be noticed in La Liga. La Liga also nominated Lee Kang-in for the midfielder category in the ‘Team of the season (TOTS)’, which selected the best team this season. Although the award was canceled, it is a point where you can see how much Lee Kang-in is recognized.안전놀이터
He also had a virtual farewell match. Mallorca won 3-0 against Rayo Vallecano in the 38th round of La Liga in the 2022-23 season held at Estadi de Son Mosi in Mallorca, Spain at 1:30 am (Korean time) on the 5th.
