In a focus match in the final round of Group C of the second stage of the Asian World Cup preliminaries that ended on the evening of June 11th, Beijing time, the Chinese men’s football team lost 0-1 to South Korea in an away game. The journey to the top 36 ended with a record of 6 games, 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses and a total of 8 points.
It is worth noting that in this game, South Korean captain Son Heung-min made a "3-0" gesture in the first half to respond to the provocation of Chinese fans. This scene happened in the 44th minute of the game. When Sun Xingmin stopped the ball too far and went out of the sideline, he was suspected of being ridiculed by Chinese fans. In response, Sun Xingmin made a 3-0 gesture to the stands in response to the boos from the Chinese football fans.
At the post-match press conference, Son Heung-min also responded to this action: I can't accept being booed at home, and I didn't do anything worthy of being booed. I also think this is disrespectful to Korean fans. As a Korean player, I want to show something and I think we played a good game and won, which is very important. I think I handled it well and didn't let it get to me. "
In this game, Son Heung-min did not perform well in the first half, but he performed much better in the second half. It was he who launched South Korea's winning goal. He shot 3 times in this campaign. He succeeded in dribbling 6 times and won all the goals. A game-high 8.3 points. Coupled with 2 shots and 1 pass in the first round against the national football team, it must be said that Sun Xingmin is indeed a very frightening and tormenting opponent for the Chinese men's football team
