Live Bar, February 14th Multiple media reported that the South Korean team had internal strife before the Asian Cup semi-finals, and conflicts broke out between Sun Xingmin and Lee Gang-in and other young players. Reporter Xu Zexin believes that it is definitely inappropriate to put all the blame on Li Gangren. He has always had doubts about Son Xingmin's leadership temperament and team management ability.
Xu Zexin wrote on his personal Weibo: Son Heung-min's ability is Asia's goat, and Li Gangren's violent behavior is too reckless, and it is reasonable to become the target of public criticism. But as the saying goes, a slap in the face can't make a difference. It is certainly not appropriate to put all the blame on Li for this matter. As captain Son Heung-min, I have always had doubts about his leadership qualities and team management abilities? From the earlier conflict with Kim Min-jae to the current fist-fight with Lee Gang-in, Captain Sun doesn't seem to be doing a very good job when it comes to how to get along with young players.
Xu Zexin added: I don’t know if it has something to do with his tutoring. Sun’s father’s education for his son is a paternalistic education of “absolute obedience”. Because of Son Heung-min’s success, this educational concept has been greatly touted and has become a popular idea in Korean and even world football. model of success. But there are two sides to the coin. As an elder and the captain of South Korea, Son Heung-min must not be able to escape his father's influence on his younger generation. Once he adopts a father-to-son mentality and feels that the younger generation must obey him completely, and disobedience is wrong and should be educated, then the conflict will inevitably be intensified. Everyone dislikes people who are "teachers" in the workplace, and the same is true on the field, unless they are the head coach.
Xu Zexin finally pointed out that the Korean team has a high ceiling and is definitely capable of winning the Asian championship. I never expected that in this defeat, the Koreans would lose to their own people.
