China, which lost to Hong Kong, lamented Lee Kang-in's performance

China lost 1-2 to Hong Kong at a closed exhibition game without spectators at the Baniyas Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates on Sunday. China, ranked 79th in the FIFA rankings, suffered humiliating loss to Hong Kong, which ranks 150th, for the first time in 39 years.

Coach Aleksandar Jankovic 52 of Serbia, who is leading the Chinese national team, was also furious. He abruptly canceled his scheduled break on Friday, and summoned players to conduct training from 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. The Chinese team reportedly got punished by conducting training three times a day. It was self-discipline for a poor match in which even the coach was fired.

Chinese media 'CGTN' said on the 4th, "It is not surprising that Korean prodigy Lee Kang-in is gaining overwhelming popularity with PSG's supporters. With Lionel Messi's departure last summer, PSG had a gap in star power, but the 22-year-old Korean player filled the gap with talent. Lee Kang-in's first goal gave PSG the trophy," he said, noting Lee Kang-in's performance.

The French Super Cup is a competition in which the winner of the French League 1 and the winner of the Coupe de France France Cup will face off each other in the same season. Lee Kang-in lifted his first trophy since joining PSG. He was also named the MVP after the match. He is the first Asian player to be named the MVP in the history of the French Super Cup.

Coach Luis Enrique demanded that Lee Kang-in's call-up for the national soccer team be delayed to win the tournament. Coach Enrique's eyes were correct. Lee Kang-in pushed Usman Dembele's pass with his left foot following a sensuous penetration three minutes into the first half. PSG, which scored the first goal in the early hours, took the victory. In the 44th minute of the first half, Lee Kang-in's forward pass was passed through Barcola and led to Mbappe's additional goal. Lee Kang-in was involved in both PSG's goals.

CGTN said, "Lee Kang-in went to Spain to study soccer at the tender age of 10. Having been well received since his days at the Valencia Academy, he has three goals and two assists for PSG. His outstanding technique, tactical adaptability, and professional spirit have made fans fall in love with him. PSG's new hero, Lee Kang-in, shines with his brilliant attack play and points to a bright future," expressing envy of Korea, which has Lee.
