I made sure to protect the players.
The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, won 3-1 against Kuwait in the fifth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the FIFA 2026 North-China World Cup at the Jabeur Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait on the 14th (Korea time). Son Heung-min, who started the day, scored his 50th goal in the A-match by directly scoring the penalty he got in the first half. With this, Son Heung-min, along with head coach Hwang Sun-hong, tied for the second place with the most goals scored in the A-match history.
However, there was a scene that stood out as much as Son's 50th goal on the day. It was in the 18th minute of the second half that Son Heung-min stepped down as a substitute. At that time, Korea dedicated the chasing goal to Kuwait, which narrowed the game to one point. If the game continued, the team could have given up the equalizer.
Coach Hong Myung-bo made a decision here. Coach Hong Myung-bo used Bae Jun-ho instead of the ace player, Son Heung-min. This mercenary skill hit the bull's eye. Bae scored the third goal after replacing him, repaying Hong's trust.
The replacement also guaranteed Son some rest. It was a decision made by coach Hong Myung-bo as he had just returned from his recent injury.
Son Heung-min was injured during his team's Tottenham Hotspur match in September. He then briefly played against West Ham United in October, but missed a few more games due to a recurrence of the injury.
Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou then managed Son's condition by not allowing him to play full-time after returning from injury. He also expressed hope that the Korean national team will manage Son ahead of his Ipswich match on Tuesday. 카지노사이트
However, Tottenham was dragged away by allowing only two runs in the first half of the Ipswich match. Postecoglou, who was in a hurry to tie the match, forced Son to play full time. The result, however, was a 1-2 defeat, and Son joined Kuwait through a long flight without getting proper rest.
Recognizing this situation, Hong made a different choice from Postecoglou. He arranged Son's physical strength by putting in Bae Joon-ho instead of Son. Then Bae Joon-ho, who was substituted, scored a goal, and Son rested. It was Hong Myung-bo who caught two rabbits with a different choice from Postecoglou.
