they keep asking the other players ridiculous questions about hm & i find it funny cuz they prolly know he’s done talking to them 😂
acc to a reporter on site: “yes it’s well known that son heungmin hasn’t been in contact with the korean media since that incident we all know about but he continues to train cheerfully. he rarely looks serious except when leaving the mixed zone or when he’s subbed off during a game. as you can see from my channel he’s training with a bright expression. while we can’t confirm whether son heungmin will give interviews or appear in the mixed zone interviews with other players went smoothly for both the czech republic & mexico games in the mixed zone. pre-training interviews were also conducted as scheduled.”
hm: even after we leave the camp we still keep in touch often so i naturally say things like “i miss you” all the time but it’s a pity whenever we have to unexpectedly part ways early. i rely on all the players a lot but in a way i rely on jaesung the most so i feel like these kind of moments are such a shame”
former knt players react to hm getting subbed
koo jacheol: “if i’m being honest i think he got taken off too early…”
ki sungyueng: “if you just play him on the left he still knows what to do in 1v1. when you’re down by one goal how about going from a back 3 to a back 4 & subbing in more forwards? in a game like today rather than playing up top i think he would have been more threatening on the wing i saw the first game (vs czech rep) he’s still rapid & can cause problems to the opposition…”
park jooho broadcast: “ah…heungmin is off this sub is way too fast. this shouldn’t become a habit we need to let heungmin do his thing i mean it’s good that heechan & hyeongyu are there but when hm is there the opponents tend to back off a bit now that he’s off that pressure is gone. i mean there’s a certain pressure on them that comes from the fact that he is son heungmin. the impact of the attack is different & he’s playing well so we need to think about that carefully. hyeongyu is doing well too but son heungmin has built up a reputation so far he’s got that. when the ball goes to son the other players can’t just easily rush in on him...”
how did he become a manager when he can’t speak is son heungmin a machine who not only needs to play but also speak to the press when their manager is right there? look at the difference between the two…
