As expected, “Dirty Football” was played. In particular, there were several rough fouls against South Korea’s “Ace” Son Heung-min. Fortunately, it did not lead to a serious injury, but it is also true that my heart was full.
The South Korean national soccer team defeated Bahrain 3-1 in the first Group E match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup at Jasim bin Hamad Stadium in Alaiyan, Qatar, at 8:30 p.m. on the 15th (Korea time).
All of the main players have been deployed. Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), who performed very well in Europe, were present, while Park Yong-woo (Al Ain) was present in the third term, Seol Young-woo (Ulsan HD) was present in the side defense, and Kim Seung-gyu (Al Shabab) was present in the goalkeeper. 토토사이트 추천
The atmosphere was heightened as the game was strongly attached from the beginning. And there were several rough fouls by Bahraini players against the Korean players. In the 31st minute, Madan made a deep tackle on Hwang In-beom. And shortly after, the same player tackled him again. Hwang rose high and tumbled to the ground. It was a dangerous foul that could lead to injury.
There was no room for Son either. In the first minute of the second half, when Son was passing from the halfway line, Baquer rushed in and kicked his calf. Son fell to the ground in the direction of his back, and his neck was severely bent. He also seemed to have a head shock. In the 39th minute of the second half, Al Mahdi competed too hard with Son even though the timing was late. And he hit Son hard in the face with his elbow.
Kim Min-jae also had a dizzying situation. In the 14th minute of the second half, when al-Hashashi broke through in the penalty box, he lost the ball to Kim Min-jae and hit the top of his foot hard with a stud. Kim Min-jae looked greatly embarrassed. So did Lee Kang-in. In the 17th minute of the second half, Lee Kang-in penetrated from the right side to the center. At this time, al-Hashashi deliberately collided with his knees. Lee Kang-in fell down and looked very painful.
Finally, in the 5th minute of extra time in the second half, Al Hardan trampled hard on Seol Young-woo’s foot on the sideline. This is the case in the representative scene. In addition to this, Bahraini players did not hesitate to commit outright fouls, and they were very intentional in fouls. We had to wait and see if Korean players would be injured.
South Korea will meet with countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia in the future, with most of the country’s players committing harsh fouls. Because the competition period is short, if you are injured, you are likely not to be able to play the rest of the game. Avoiding it does not mean you can avoid it, but you need to be careful.
