“Son Heung-min and Kevin De Bruyne have been praised for playing through the pain of injury all season,” The Times reported on Sunday.
Son underwent surgery for a sports hernia after a Premier League match in late May. “I played through the pain all season. I thought I couldn’t do it anymore, so I had surgery after the season ended,” he confessed. Son missed the match against Peru in Busan on Sept. 16. The national team felt his absence acutely and lost 0-1 to Peru.
메이저도메인 When asked if he would play against El Salvador in Daejeon on the 20th, Heung-min said, “I need to talk to the coach and discuss with the staff. It’s too bad. Many fans came to Busan. I wanted to show them what I do best and what I like to play, but I’m afraid I can’t,” he said.
British fans praised Son Heung-min, saying, “I didn’t know that he played through his injury,” “There was a reason for his slump,” “I said he was slumping, but I regret it,” and “His mental strength to finish the season is amazing.”
De Bruyne, the star of Manchester City’s ‘treble’, also played through injury. He was injured and substituted in the Champions League final against Inter Milan. De Bruyne had already played through a torn hamstring two months earlier. He also fired a powerful shot during the match.
De Bruyne said: “I had a lot of problems with my hamstring in the last two months and I ended up tearing it. I couldn’t miss the game to help City win the title,” he said in an emotional speech.
