Multiplayer Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, Lee Kang-in, help in the hunt for the Asian Cup
The three are playing various positions in their team.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who lead the national soccer team's attack, are showing off their abilities as multiplayers while playing various positions in their team. With their abilities, Korea is expected to be able to secure diversity in attack at the Qatar Asian Cup in January next year.
Son Heung-min scored an additional goal in the 18th minute of the first half to give Everton a 1-0 lead in the 18th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 24th (Korean time).
Son Heung-min, who was playing on the left flank, took the place of frontline striker Richarlison in the 18th minute of the second half when he was replaced due to back pain, and preserved the team's 2-1 win.
Son Heung-min is playing the role of a top striker and left wing forward for Tottenham this season. After the opening, he played as a left wing forward for three games, but after Richarlison left due to poor performance and injury, he took on the top spot for more than 10 games, showing off his goal-making ability as good as that of a traditional striker, scoring 11 goals to this day.
Hwang Hee-chan, who is showing off his potential by scoring 9 goals for EPL Wolverhampton this season, is also playing a variety of positions.
Wolverhampton coach Gary O'Neill is using Hwang Hee-chan as either a wing forward or a front-line striker, depending on his opponent. He is showing high adaptability by scoring goals in all games played in three different positions.
Hwang Hee-chan, whose goal-making ability has improved dramatically this season, is showing off his power as a striker by scoring goals regardless of his position.
Lee Kang-in, who plays for French Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is playing more positions.
Lee Kang-in's positions after joining PSG include right wing forward, left wing forward, attacking central midfielder, and left side midfielder. PSG coach Luis Enrique sends Lee Kang-in from left to right or from right to left depending on the situation during the game. He is actively using Lee Kang-in as a card to change his tactics.
As the strikers of the Korean national soccer team playing on the European stage are proficient in various positions, it is expected that Klinsmann will be able to have a variety of styles in the upcoming Asian Cup in Qatar.
In fact, in this year's A match, Coach Klinsmann gave the offensive line a high degree of freedom and allowed them to change positions during the game. Breaking away from moves based on fixed promises, as was the case during the time of former coach Paulo Bento, players are demonstrating creativity under coach Klinsmann. As the players adapted to Coach Klinsmann's tactics, a large number of goals began to be scored from the A match held in October.
Although Hwang Ui-jo (Norwich City), a front-line striker, left the Asian Cup due to illegal filming, Coach Klinsmann's failure to select replacement resources such as Joo Min-gyu (Ulsan HD) can be interpreted in the same context. This is because even if Cho Kyu-sung, the starting top player, is missing, Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan can play an active role in the front line.
As key attacking players adapt to various positions, soccer fans' expectations are expected to grow ahead of the Asian Cup.
