Son Heung-min, I tried wearing a mask and even a headline. random newsThe British media are voicing concerns about Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham), who is fighting with a mask in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, but has yet to score a goal.
British media HITC said on the 30th of last month (Korea time), “If Son Heung-min returns to Tottenham after the World Cup and does not score, Antonio Conte will have to put him on the a bench.” He expressed regret at the performance of Son Heung-min, who is yet to report his first goal in this World Cup.
If Son Heung-min scores just one goal in this tournament, he will be the top scorer at the World Cup for a Korean player. He is currently tied for first place in scoring with Ahn Jung-hwan and Park Ji-sung with three goals. In addition, Son Heung-min, who previously scored one goal at the Brazil 2014 tournament and two goals at the Russia 2018 tournament, will become the second player to score three consecutive World Cup goals after Park Ji-sung (2002, 2006, 2010 ) if he scores a goal in this tournament.
But it rarely breaks down. Son Heung-min, who had surgery for an orbital fracture before the World Cup, is playing the game wearing a face shield. Although his physical condition is not perfect, his face shield blocks his vision, so he is unable to show off his skills.
Experts also draw attention to this. Clinton Morrison, a former member of the Irish national team, said in an interview with the British BBC, “Son Heung-min is like a talisman in Korea, but he cannot be 100% in physical condition because he has not been able to play recently. games.”No,” he regretted.
There are also voices of concern about the team’s performance after the World Cup. Morrison said, “When Son Heung-min returns, he can help the team with his magic like before, but I’m worried about Son Heung-min’s form now.” In response, HITC added, “If Son Heung-min doesn’t score a goal immediately, Conte will have to put him on the bench.”
Korea, who are about to be eliminated from the group stage with 1 draw and 1 loss (1 point), will play the final match against Portugal on the 3rd. In a situation where a win is desperately needed, it remains to be seen whether Son Heung-min will lead a dramatic progress to the round of 16 by reporting the first goal of this tournament.
