In the arena of soccer, there has been a sudden change recently. The Korean Football Association (KFA) suddenly sent a letter to the Chinese Super League (CSL) club Shandong Taishan with a surprising request: it wants to draft midfielder core Son Junho to the South Korean national team for the upcoming warm-up match on November 11th.
In the face of this sudden change, Taishan head coach Hao Wei firmly stated his full support for Sun Junhao's recruitment in an interview with Beijing Youth Daily. He said, "No matter when, we will fully support Sun Junhao because he is our pride and an indispensable member of the national team."
Back on October 9, Taishan finished the 22nd round of the Chinese Super League with a fierce battle against Beijing Guoan in Rizhao. After the match, the team took two days off in order to regroup on the 12th in the best condition. However, within these few days, Taishan received a written notice from the Korean Football Association (KFA) requesting that Sun Junho be drafted into the national team to prepare for the match.
In the face of the upcoming World Cup, Taishan club and coaching staff have long been fully prepared psychologically. 15, Hao Wei in an interview again emphasized: "Whether it is the club or I personally, we will fully support Sun Junhao to participate in the Qatar World Cup. For his possible absence, we have made targeted preparations. We want to ensure that the team's preparations and matches are carried out normally, but at the same time, we will also provide the necessary protection for Sun Junho. After all, to go to the World Cup is a matter of pride for every player."
