South Korea lost to Jordan in the Asian Cup semi-finals, and lost with a score of 0-2. It was very embarrassing that so many of their own stars could not score. This result is somewhat surprising. South Korea's top star Son Heung-min couldn't believe that the team would fall in front of such an opponent. After all, they had won against the stronger Saudi Arabia and Australia before, but lost to Jordan, ranked 87th in the world. It was a bit hard to accept, but I have to Not accepted.
In this Asian Cup, Son Heung-min was very confident to win the championship, because they have one of the most luxurious lineups in Asia, second only to the Japanese team in terms of luxury. However, as he kicked, Sun Xingmin discovered that the Asian Cup is not simple, and it is not easy to win every game.
Son Heung-min's performance in this tournament can only be said to be quite satisfactory. In the match against Bahrain, Sun Xingmin failed to score in 3 shots, missed an excellent opportunity, and made little contribution. In the group match with Jordan, Son Heung-min made a penalty kick and took it personally. In the match against Malaysia, Son Heung-min scored another penalty kick. Son Heung-min scored 2 penalty kicks in 3 group matches and no goals in sports matches. In the 1/8 finals against Saudi Arabia, Son Heung-min failed to score in 7 shots and his performance was very poor. The battle against Australia was Son Heung-min's best game. He created a penalty kick, scored a free kick, and helped the South Korean team advance in danger. But in this match against Jordan, Son Heung-min was lost and didn't even have a single shot in the game.
The Korean team's elimination cannot be blamed on Son Heung-min, because he saved the Korean team once, so it is difficult to be called the savior every time. The biggest culprit for South Korea's elimination is undoubtedly head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. He did not allow South Korea to play at the level it should have. The team relied more on individual abilities to play the game rather than playing beautiful team football. He also created a shameful record in team history: they conceded 10 goals in this Asian Cup, which was the second most goals conceded in a single tournament in team history. In the previous two Asian Cups, they only conceded a total of 4 goals. As a result, I didn't expect that this Asian Cup would be so stretched and the defense was extremely poor.
