The Chinese media made an unusual feature of Lee Kang-in 22, PSG and did not hide their envy.

PSG beat Toulouse 2-0 at the 2023 Trope de Champion France Super Cup in Paris on Sunday when Lee Kang-in scored the first goal and Kylian Mbappe scored the second goal. PSG has grabbed its 12th career trophy.

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 compete in the same season. Lee Kang-in lifted the trophy for the first time since joining PSG. Lee Kang-in was also selected as the best player after the game. Lee Kang-in is the first Asian player to be selected as MVP in the history of the French Super Cup.

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

After the match, Enrique gave Lee Kang-in high praise. Enrique praised Lee Kang-in, saying, "LEE showed a lot of performance. He worked really hard on both offense and defense on the field. He never lost the ball even under pressure from the opponent."

The news of Lee Kang-in's victory quickly spread to China. With the Chinese national team losing 1-2 to Hong Kong, lamentations are coming out, "Why don't we have a player like Lee Kang-in?" 스포츠중계

Chinese media "CGTN" said on the 4th, "It is not surprising that Lee Kang-in, a prodigy of Korea, is gaining overwhelming popularity among PSG supporters. PSG had a gap in star power when Lionel Messi left last summer, but the 22-year-old Korean player filled the gap with talent. Lee Kang-in's first goal led PSG to the championship cup," paying attention to Lee Kang-in.

"Lee Kang-in left for Spain to study soccer at the tender age of 10. He has been praised since his days at the Valencia Academy. After moving to Mallorca in 2021, Lee became the core of the team. He moved to PSG for 24 million dollars and found a breakthrough. He has already scored three goals and two assists in PSG. His outstanding skills, tactical adaptability and professionalism have made fans fall in love with him," he said, addressing Lee's success.

The media highly praised Lee Kang-in to the extent that it wondered if he was a Chinese newspaper. CGTN said, "Lee Kang-in, PSG's new hero, is shining brightly and points to a bright future. However, Lee Kang-in will be away for a month after missing the Asian Cup. If Korea goes to the Asian Cup finals, Lee will be gone until the match against Real Sociedad on February 14," expressing concern over the PSG's absence.
