Mundo Deportivo has noted the stark contrast in Lee Kang-in's performance for Atlético Madrid and the South Korean national team, publishing an analysis on the matter.
Mundo Deportivo believes that the international break disrupted Atlético Madrid's preparations for the Alavés match and affected the form of various national team players upon their return to Atlético Madrid, with Lee Kang-in's situation being somewhat concerning.
Since transferring to Atlético Madrid, Lee Kang-in has delivered impressive performances at the start of the season. His excellent play made Griezmann's absence almost unnoticeable, and he quickly became a key player for the team. His statistics have also been remarkable, with two goals and one assist.
The report states that Lee Kang-in is striving to regain his best form, which is what he has shown for Atlético Madrid, as he did not perform as expected with the national team.
The highly regarded player in his home country appeared for 218 minutes across three matches against Uruguay, Venezuela, and Uzbekistan during this international break. However, considering his outstanding performances for Atlético Madrid at the start of the season, his displays for the national team were noticeably less impactful.
