Son Heung-min (30) is in a situation where he needs to keep an eye on his physical condition.
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, lost 0-1 in an evaluation match against Peru held at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on the 16th.
For South Korea, Kim Seung-kyu, Jung Seung-hyun, Park Ji-soo, Ahn Hyun-bum, Lee Gi-je, Hwang In-beom, Lee Jae-seong, Won Doo-jae, Lee Kang-in, Hwang Hee-chan, and Oh Hyun-kyu started.
Son Heung-min was listed on the replacement list that day. It was excluded from the announced selection. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann said at a press conference before the match that Son Heung-min would not start. The reason is surgery. It is reported that Son Heung-min recently underwent sports hernia surgery. Since it is currently in the recovery phase, coach Klinsman did not forcefully start the game.
It was possible to play in the second half, but Son Heung-min did not digest the game. In the meantime, Korea failed to score. With Lee Kang-in and Hwang Hee-chan at the center, Oh Hyun-gyu, Cho Kyu-seong, and Hwang Eui-jo tried to score in turn, but failed to save the decisive situation and eventually lost without scoring.
After the game, Son Heung-min said, “The players played the game in a difficult situation. The results were disappointing, but the players gained new experiences. There were players who were playing together for the first time, and there were a lot of things to improve, but there were also good scenes. I hope the results come out next time,” he said.토토사이트
“I don’t know how I feel yet. It’s a pity that I can’t show you what I do best. I will have a conversation with the coaching staff and watch it until Tuesday,” he concluded.
