Son Heung-min of the national football team said that there is no change in the thought that Iraq played 'bed soccer'.
Son Heung-min was interviewed ahead of the second leg of Group A match between Lebanon and the 2022 Qatar World Cup in Asia.
In an interview after drawing 0-0 with Iraq, Son Heung-min made a remark to the effect that Iraq played 'bed soccer', which focused on cigars.
However, there were many evaluations that Iraq effectively blocked South Korea and was far from bed football.
Iraqi manager Advocaat also expressed a negative stance on Son's remarks.
In an interview on the same day, Son Heung-min said, "My opinion has not changed. The Iraqi player who took the doping test also told me a lot about things I did not understand." It's my position," he said.
Son Heung-min, who was sluggish with only one shot in the Iraq war, focused on the role of a helper in the national team, but now he shows the will to score goals.
He added, "If you hit a shot from a bad posture, it doesn't help the team, but I also feel that I should be greedy. I will show you how to fix it."
