Celtic Midfielder Ki Sung-Yeung Struggles To 'Fully Understand' Neil Lennon's Intentions
South Korean puzzled by coach's attitude to training....
By Eliot Rothwell
The 21-year-old was brought to the club by previous manager Tony Mowbray and has found his opportunites limited under the new regime.
Ki spoke to reporters at Incheon international airport before flying back to Scotland after a recent international friendly.
The midfielder confessed to being puzzled by Lennon's approach to training and admitted to not understanding what the manager requires.
"It's true that my condition is not great because I could not play at Celtic," he said.
"That's why I could not play well for the national team this time.
"I'm good with coach Lennon. But I don't fully understand what he wants from me in the game.
He does not talk much in training so it's difficult to understand his intention."
The South Korean international, however, remained positive about his ability to make an impact at the Glasgow club.
"I know I cannot avoid competition as long as I play football," he said.
"I always need to do my best and overcome difficult situation."
