Heung-Min Son celebrated joining the Century Club with a fantastic free-kick goal against Chile.
Against Paraguay, we aim for a higher place in the record for most goals in an A match.
Heung-Min Son, who has scored 32 goals in 100 matches, is currently in 6th place.
Adding a goal against Paraguay could even overtake Lee Dong-guk, who scored 33 goals.

“I think the most important thing is to think that if I do the things I need to do in the place where I should be, like water flowing, I might appear again at some point.”
This year too, the International Football Players Association raised the controversy over Son Heung-min’s abuse.
The distance traveled between Europe and Asia in the past three years alone is about 220,000 km, equivalent to five and a half trips around the world.
He insisted on the need to protect the players, saying he spent 300 hours traveling by plane.
However, Son Heung-min, who actually played full-time in the previous two matches, does not seem to have time to rest this time.
Bento, who wants to improve the level of perfection in preparation for the World Cup finals, also announced that he would mobilize all the best members.

“This call-up training and evaluation match are important to prepare for the World Cup. (Paraguay too) I can’t promise that I will give players a chance to play,” he said.
Paraguay ranked 50th in the FIFA rankings, losing 4-1 to Japan a week ago.
As the weakest opponent of this 4 evaluation matches, the national team is contemplating another way to use Son Heung-min this time as well.
