During training, Son Heung-min momentarily touches his head when a colleague's kicked ball flies low.
It was a light touch, but Son Heung-min naturally continued training by learning the feeling of heading, and even after the 15-minute training session was over, he bounced the ball with his head several more times, reportedly increasing his adaptability.
Son Heung-min, who climbed to the operating table during a header competition during the game on the 2nd, overcame his fear of heading and speeded up his recovery, posting a message on his SNS saying, "I am ready. It is time to pursue my biggest dream." I made up my mind.
Uruguay media who visited the training ground also pointed out Son Heung-min's possibility of participation as the number 1 alert.
