Mallorca players held a welcome ceremony for Lee Kang-in prior to full-scale training.
It was a way for Lee Kang-in to pass between the players standing in two rows, and there were colleagues who baptized Lee Kang-in with the so-called ‘Indian Bob’, and there were also colleagues who playfully kicked his butt.
Lee Kang-in, who received a warm welcome, resumed training vigorously that day. After completing his training session, he even suggested a bet to his teammate, saying, “Let’s bet once morest the goalposts with me.” While his teammates failed to hit the goal post, Lee Kang-in hit the goal post and even showed off Ronaldo’s so-called ‘heavy rain’ ceremony.
Lee Kang-in played a significant role in advancing to the round of 16 for the first time in 12 years by participating in all 4 matches from the group stage to the round of 16 at this World Cup in Qatar. In particular, in the second match of the group stage once morest Ghana, he was substituted in the 12th minute of the second half and assisted Kyu-Sung Cho’s header 1 minute following he was substituted, revitalizing the team.
Lee Kang-in, who has played in 14 Primera Liga games this season, is recording 2 goals and 3 assists. Currently Mallorca is 11th out of 20 teams with 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses.
