Son Heung-min has 0 shots on the Korean national team, a dilemma caused by a lack of “completion ability” in attack
Even with a ball possession rate of over 60%, there is a gap in scoring ability. South Korea's structural issues were exposed in the game against Mexico. What is the prescription for getting through the World Cup 2026?
The reason why South Korean national team forward Son Heung-min ended up with zero shots in the match against Mexico was due to a structural attack failure that did not directly lead to scoring ability, even though the ball possession rate exceeded 60%. There were no shots on target until the 87th minute of the second half, and the expected goal value was low. The goal conceded due to a mistake by goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu is a result, and the real reason lies in the lack of ``completion ability'' in the attack.
