Son Heung-min, the father of Korean soccer team captain Son Heung-min, who played a “masked fighting spirit” at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Son Woong-jeong, coach of Son Soccer Academy, announced that his son Heung-min’s son had brought forward the date of surgery for his orbital fracture to participate in the World Cup.
tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block” released a preview video on the 11th of an interview with director Son Woong-jung ahead of the broadcast on the 14th.
According to the video, director Son Woong-jeong said that after Son Heung-min suffered an orbital fracture, he asked to “move the surgery date forward as much as possible.” He also said that Son Heung-min continued to apply cold compresses, such as applying ice to subside the swelling at the surgical site, except during sleeping hours.
Coach Son Woong-jeong said, “I really want to go (to the World Cup),” and said, “It’s a dream for football players to wear a Taegeuk brand on their left side, but personally, Heung-min is also a honorable position, and people expect it and fans want it.
In response to the question: “Were you planning to make your child a football player when he is born?”, coach Son Ung-jeong said: “If the child wants to do it, do it, and if he doesn’t, he can’t» .
Also, when Son Heung-min entered the European professional league in the past, coach Son Woong-jeong said, “I can only think that I am cold and hungry.”
Director Son Woong-jung, who announced that it was his first time appearing in a broadcast, displayed his excellent sense of entertainment by saying, “I came to see Jae-seok Lee (Yoo Jae-seok) and Se- ho-hyung (Jo Se-ho).”
Meanwhile, on the 2nd of last month, Son Heung-min was diagnosed with an orbital fracture after hitting his face forcefully against the opponent’s shoulder during an aerial competition with an opposing defender during a UEFA Champions League (UCL ). As a result, a red flag was activated to participate in the World Cup, but Son Heung-min wore black protective gear and played.
Son Heung-min was said not to use strong painkillers during the World Cup schedule due to “concerns about doping.” Joon-ho Wang, the attending physician of the Korea national football team and professor of orthopedic surgery at Samsung Seoul Hospital, appeared on YTN’s “News Rider” on the 8th and said, “Usually, narcotic pain relievers or strong drugs are used for 2 to 4 weeks after surgery.”) Due to doping and drug testing, it was only used once during anesthesia on the day of surgery. Subsequently, he only took Tylenol, the weaker painkiller. (Son Heung-min) endured the pain. “
After Bentuho’s last match against Brazil, Son Heung-min answered the reporter’s question: “Isn’t the pain getting worse because I was wearing a mask?” I have nothing to say except that I’m so sorry I didn’t live up to expectations.”
