Son Under Heavy Cr!tic!sm After Brazil 4 – 1 Win Over Korea

Former West Ham United attacker, Frank McAvennie, has criticized South Korea forward Son Heung-min for playing with less intensity following his nation’s exit from the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Son picked up a facial injury during Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 UEFA Champions League victory against Olympique de Marseille last month.

The 30-year-old has not played a single minute for Tottenham since then.

Despite the early scare surrounding his World Cup participation, Son played for his country in their opening game against Uruguay.

He was not impressive during the 0-0 draw against Uruguay and also during their 3-2 loss against Ghana but he assisted their most important goal in Qatar as South Korea defeated Portugal 2-1 to qualify for the last 16.

However, Son did not perform well as Brazil thrashed South Korea 4-1 in the last 16 on Monday night.

“It [the injury] has bothered him [Son]. He is not comfortable wearing that [mask]. He has not looked like his accomplished self when he gets the ball,” McAvennie told Football Insider.

“He was always very accomplished on the ball. He looks as if he does not want anyone coming near him.

“It’s as if his eye is bothering him. It’s as if he does not want anyone to hit him again. That is a thing he has got to get over in his own mind. He has got to get rid of that.”
