[마이데일리 = 안산 유진형 기자] Son Heung-min, who was bitter about bed soccer, saying, “If you drag time, there is no development in soccer,” won a refreshing victory over Syria, who played bed soccer.
On the afternoon of the 7th, South Korea won a dramatic 2-1 victory over Syria against Syria in the third round of Group A of the Asian final qualifier for the 2022 Qatar World Cup held at Was Stadium in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do, on the afternoon of the 7th. Son Heung-min scored the winning goal in the 44th minute of the second half of the game, leading to the victory. This is a field goal that Son Heung-min tasted in a match A for the first time in two years after the World Cup Asian qualifying match against Sri Lanka in October 2019.
Bed soccer is a time-wasting strategy often seen by Middle Eastern teams with weak power. Even if the uniform is rubbed, it collapses and lies down with a big action. After receiving first aid from the team doctor, he goes out of the field, and when the game resumes, he quickly comes back to the field as if he had ever been there.
Syria was no different. Syria started collapsing on the ground in the 5th minute of the first half. Hwang In-beom and Son Heung-min lifted him up and tried to comfort him, but the bed football continued without change.
Syria blatantly dragged the time by lying on the ground in a bigger move just before the end of the first half. Son Heung-min, who had endured it, exploded at this time. When a strong protest was made to the referee, there was a scene where Syrian players interrupted Son Heung-min’s protest and stopped him. He complained to the referee for the disgusting bed football, but the referee could not take any action on the player who had fallen.
An early goal was important to break the bed football. In the third minute of the second half, Hwang In-beom’s goal led Korea Rep., but in the 39th minute of the second half, Syria took a blow and allowed the equalizer. It was obvious that bed football would start again. Afterwards, Korea, which played all-out, scored a dramatic winning goal by Son Heung-min in the 44th minute of the second half.
In the second half, Son Heung-min was knocked down by a foul by a Syrian player. And this time, on the contrary, Son Heung-min showed the same to the Syrian players. After receiving first aid and being supported, he slowly went out of the field, and returned quickly with the restart of the game. The Syrian players who saw this did not say anything, and it ended with Korea’s 2-1 victory.
Heung-Min Son and Korean football, who were beaten to bed soccer, this time were a refreshing victory that showed the opposite.
