In South Korea, Sun Sung suffered from pressure, which weighed heavily on him. As recently reported in the media, during the Asian Cup, Lee Gang-in and other players did not obey the command of the captain Sun Sung in the match against Jordan. As we all know, Korean soccer reveres the authority of elders, and Sun Sung's position as captain is not to be underestimated, but he did not expect to be challenged himself. As a result, the Korean team's fighting strength and team cohesion declined, and the team failed to qualify.
The South Korean men's soccer team has not been able to achieve a major breakthrough in three consecutive World Cups and four Asian Cups. For Sun Sung, perhaps he felt tired, perhaps he realized the bottleneck in the development of Korean soccer. Perhaps, with Tottenham Hotspur in England, in the Premier League, he is trying to find a qualitative leap, which is his quest at the moment. After all, he was born in 1992 and is now 32 years old, time is precious and he is eager to hold on to it.
