Iraqi soccer fans, who are about to play the first game in the Asian finals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Korea, are stimulating Korean fans by posting a series of social media posts depicting Son Heung-min (Tottenham), a key striker of Bentuho.



'Air Force News 31', which delivers news of Iraqi professional soccer clubs Al-Qu and Al-Jawiya, posted a composite photo of an Iraqi national team player stepping on the face of Heung-Min Son, who has fallen over, on his Instagram account on the 2nd (Korean time).



The Iraqi player who is stepping on Son's face is Ahmed Ibrahim (29), a defender who plays for al-Quwa al-Jawiya, and is the vice-captain of the Iraqi national team.



The Korean national team, led by coach Paulo Bento, will play the first leg of Group A of the Asian final qualifier against Iraq at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 pm on the 2nd.



As they challenge the World Cup finals for the first time in 36 years since the 1986 Mexico Games, Iraq is betting on the results of the first match against Korea.



Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Iraqi fans are stimulating the Taegeuk Warriors with SNS posts that touch the 'planting (?)' of the Korean national team.



Earlier yesterday, Iraqi designer Anmar Kuri made Korean fans uncomfortable by posting a composite photo of two Iraqi players on his Instagram account pointing to Son Heung-min tied to a rope.



The two composite photos are a radical expression of the desire that the Iraqi national team must stop Son Heung-min in the first round of the final qualifying round, but Korean fans have no choice but to frown.
