Sun Xingmin, who scored zero goals in the Qatar World Cup: I have tried my best to hope that the fans understand
2022-12-06 13:34Qatar's World Cup round of 16 continues today. The South Korean team played against Brazil and lost 1-4 to the top 8. The South Korean captain Sun Xingmin failed to score a goal in this World Cup, and he has not yet shown his best form. He ended the World Cup journey with regret.
In the 36 minutes of the first half, Brazil's 22-year-old forward Vinicius Junior, 30-year-old titan Neymar, 25-year-old forward Richarlison and 25-year-old midfielder Lucas Paqueta all scored goals , leading 4-0. After that, Son Xingmin tried his best to create scoring chances, but he was saved by 30-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker in both attempts and failed to score.
Although the South Korean team's 25-year-old substitute midfielder Baek Seung-ho recovered a point with a long-range shot, the score gap was too large. It was undoubtedly a game of great disparity. The ending was not surprising. The Korean team lost 1-4. The World Cup journey came to an abrupt end in Qatar.
Sun Xingmin said after the game, "The Brazil team has high-level and professional players. As long as they accidentally reveal defensive loopholes and spaces, they can easily score. Whether it is them or the players in the World Cup, their performance is impressive. Impressed. To be able to compete with the favorites today, I am proud of what we have done, and I will not blame any players, because all the players in the Korean team have given everything in the World Cup."
Son Xingmin also added, "I have done my best for this game, and I hope the fans who support me can understand this. Even if I play with an injury, I can't compare with the hardships of my teammates. In the World Cup, you can see Baek Seung-ho and 21-year-old midfielder Lee Kang-in. And the 26-year-old striker Hwang Hee-chan and other players performed very well. I believe this is not the end, and the Korean team with them will get better and better in the future."
It is true that it is not easy for the South Korean team to reach the top 16, not to mention the Brazil team, which has five championships today and is currently the favorite to win the championship, plus Neymar, the "scoring machine" who has returned from injury, this game There is almost no suspense about the outcome of the game.
Injuries and zero goals in this World Cup
On the eve of the World Cup, Sun Xingmin underwent cheekbone surgery. As the captain and core, he had to wear a protective mask and was injured. The limitations of the mask and injuries prevented him from reaching his peak performance, which is reasonable. But this is undoubtedly a great shortcoming for Sun Xingmin. As the top scorer in Asia, he contributed 1 goal in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and 2 goals in the last World Cup. He failed to score a goal and stopped at the round of 16 with zero goals to bid farewell to the World Cup in Qatar.
Assists in group focus games are crucial
However, Sun Xingmin's assist in the World Cup final match was the key to the South Korean team's 2-1 victory over Portugal. At that time, his wonderful pass assist in stoppage time allowed Hwang Hee-chan to successfully score a Jedi counterattack and advance to the top 16 from Group H in second place. Shocked the world again. Even if the South Korean captain failed to show his best form in the World Cup, he still played a vital role in the World Cup.
