The story of Kang-in Lee and Take Kubo has several points in common. Both asian, they are two of the great hopes of their respective countries. Born in 2001, they are stars from South Korea and Japan respectively since they were children. In fact, the now Valencia player won a young talent contest before emigrating to the city of Turia at the age of 11.
In 2013, when Kubo and Kang-in had 12 years, They already faced each other (Valencia-Barça) in the LaLiga youth tournament that that year was played in Granada. Now, Kang-in, what has already been the Ballon d'Or of a U-20 World Cup, arrives in his best moment to the duel with Kubo. He convinced Gracia in his title against Celta and gave the goal assist to Vallejo. In fact, he's been four this season already. He will start again today against Getafe.
Nippon, meanwhile, has already been in Madrid and Barça, and appears in Getafe after having been on loan in the first part of the course at Villarreal. As soon as he arrived, he counted for Bordalás but in recent games he has not started. The Japanese is on loan from Real Madrid, which monopolizes the media attention from Japan, something that Unai Emery was uncomfortable with. Now, he has the final part of the championship to reverse the situation.
