Son appeared in the team’s training session held at the Al-Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar on Wednesday. He did not appear to be in the training session as usual. He did not have an injury in the first group match against Bahrain on the 15th. The reporters were paying keen attention to Son, who appeared while preparing for a different training session than usual.
He did not look particularly uncomfortable. Among the 26 players, only Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) and Kim Jin-soo (Jeonbuk Hyundai) are injured. “We started taping since the exhibition match against Wales last year. It hasn’t been a year. He is famous for not taping, but he seems to have done it for his physical condition.”
In fact, Son has taped several times in the English Premier League (EPL). It is not an injury but a “prevention” measure. It is to prevent possible injuries and to recover quickly. Son’s injury is fatal to Korea. He suffered a facial fracture right before the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and played the tournament while wearing a mask. His vision was narrowed due to the mask, and he was in a “fighting spirit” to play the tournament in an unusual condition.
The story is different in this year’s championship. Son is currently in the top form. He scored 12 goals in the EPL before joining the national team, tying for third in overall goalscoring. He arrived in Doha, Qatar, in a healthy state. 사설 토토사이트
Coach Jurgen Klinsmann said, “It is also very important to play the tournament in a healthy manner. Son was not fully fit (due to his injury), but now he is a healthy captain. I am very happy to be with him.” The tournament was rather special for Son. If he was the youngest player in Qatar in 2011, he is leading the national team as the captain this time.
Son said, “What we need to unite firmly is to achieve one goal. The players are working hard together. As a player, I want to show good abilities and give joy to fans, but the team is the most important. It is a competition where you think about how the team will give joy rather than the joy you show.”
