I'm excited to catch Lee Min Seong-ho, but the fan's reaction is to talk after winning the official competition

China's Tencent and Sohu posted news of China's U-22 national team beating South Korea at the Panda Cup on the top page on the 16th (Korea time). He seems excited that he won against South Korea, which won 2-0 against Uzbekistan earlier, and won without losing a point. Tencent did not hide its joy by saying, `China has won South Korea twice in eight months.' Sohu praised China's 2-0 victory over South Korea, saying, `With this victory, China raised the Panda Cup ranking and gave hope for the future.' He is also praising the leadership of head coach Xiao Zai, who recently served as head coach of the senior and U-22 national teams.
This atmosphere seems to have continued at the press conference. Coach Lee Min-sung was asked 'I've lost to China twice in eight months, but I'm afraid I'm going to get public." In response, coach Lee expressed his thoughts, "'The Panda Cup is only a friendly tournament, only a process of preparing for the U-23 Asian Cup.'"
However, unlike the excited Chinese media atmosphere, fans are responding calmly. Tencent responded, "'Write after winning a few more official games' and 'Why can't you be happy even if you win?' The Sohu homepage also received cynical responses such as "'Make sure to check who the referee (Chinese) is' and 'Korea probably has a high school student team'.
The Panda Cup is a friendly tournament in which four countries, including South Korea, China, Uzbekistan and Vietnam, compete to determine the winning team through a Pulig match in Chengdu. The U-23 Asian Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia in January next year.
