Yesterday (14th), with the match against Egypt, all four evaluation matches of the soccer team were over. It was nice to see Hwang Ui-jo returning as a goalkeeper, and Son Heung-min stood out throughout the four games whether there was a goal or not.

It was Hwang Ui-jo who scored the first goal against Egypt without Salah.
In the 16th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min, who came down deep, opened the space with a long pass, went through Kim Jin-soo and touched Hwang Ui-jo’s head to open the goal.
Six minutes later, Son Heung-min’s corner kick was exquisitely returned to the head, helping Kim Young-kwon’s goal as well.
Hwang Ui-jo scored a goal in a match against Brazil for the first time in a year and showed off his sense of goal.
It was a good performance because we had to find a new team.
Bordeaux, the bottom of the season, were relegated to the second division and were in danger of falling to the third division due to financial problems.

Son Heung-min, who became the starting point for two goals, played at the forefront, but when the attack did not come off, he ran down a long way and ran the most and wide.
In particular, he also found a new weapon for the national team, scoring two goals from free kicks.
If you can make good use of a set piece that can score points with one kick, it can give you that much advantage in the World Cup, where there are not many scoring opportunities.

As I played for more than 360 minutes as a starter in every game, there was another ‘controversy over abuse’, but Son Heung-min looked back, saying, “It’s unfortunate that it ended early, and I was really happy.”
