Even if you disagree with other things, I think Hong Myung-bo must feel it's unfair that he's being criticized regarding Son Heung-min

People are asking why he was out of the 3rd match when he was only benched because he couldn't perform in the 1st and 2nd matches... They act as if we would have won if he had played, and in fact, he did play in the second half.
To be honest, even in the 1st match, it was Son Heung-min who went in and scored the comeback goal.
It was hard to listen to the nonsense claiming that he's being ruined by not being used as a striker and instead being played as a winger, even though he's used as a top striker in the US.
If a team like Korea uses Son Heung-min as a winger, is he playing K-League matches? He has zero competitiveness in that role.
It would be much better to use players like Um Ji-sung. If you use Son Heung-min as a winger, forget about dribbling breakthroughs; there will be no momentum on the left side at all.
Both the MLS coach and Hong Myung-bo use him as a striker because he still has that "one big shot" capability, but it's time for him to move to the bench.
The game plan should be built around Lee Kang-in, and you only need one player who lacks energy levels or defensive contribution.
If you have two or more players with this "selfish" style, the team's chemistry will fail, whether it's the national team or a club.
There's a reason Kim Min-jae spoke up about this.
