According to China's Sina Sports on the 21st, a huge number of reporters were present at the press conference between Korea and China the previous day (20th).

According to the Chinese Football Association, there are nearly 250 media who applied for coverage of the Korea-China match.
Sina Sports explained, "The press conference, including 11 Korean media who visited China, was crowded with media officials."
"The temperature in Shenzhen has fallen a lot, but many fans have gathered outside the Shenzhen Universiade," the media said, adding, "It is to see famous stars such as Son Heung-min as well as the Chinese national team."
In fact, many Chinese fans cheered when Taegeuk Warriors, including Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in, entered Shenzhen on the 19th.
