The 22nd round of the Chinese Super League resumed with a 3-3 battle between Shandong Taishan and Beijing Guoan. Sun Junho, who returned from South Korea, came on as a substitute and became the center of attention. Sports Weekly revealed that Sun Junhao, who has not yet completed his quarantine, resolutely requested to play and even aspired to make his debut.
Reports indicate that on the evening of October 9, Sun Junho was still under medical quarantine in Qingdao, and when he was released from quarantine on the 10th, it was reasonable to say that he should not have been put on the field because he had not trained outdoors for ten consecutive days. However, Sun Junho's desire to fight was so strong that he traveled from Qingdao to Rizhao in the morning, showing his determination.
Having practiced in the Chinese Super League for nearly a year and a half, Son Jungho knew the importance of the Beijing-Ruzhou showdown, especially at Guoan, where his reunion with his South Korean teammate Kang Sang-woo added to the special significance of the match. So, the day before the match, he took the initiative to ask the coaching staff to play. In addition to the importance of the match itself, the recent lackluster performance of the leading Wuhan Sanzhen team has brought new hope to Sun Junho. Liao Lisheng and Fellaini's injuries have damaged the Taishan team's midfield strength, and Sun Zhunhao once again expressed his strong will to play on the morning of the 9th: "Against Guoan, I still want to play, preferably to start."
However, head coach Hao Wei must consider the whole picture. After Sun Jun Hao arrived in Rizhao and reported for duty, the coaching staff gave the advice to first enter the list of substitutes, and then according to the situation to decide whether to play and the playing time. "The main concern is that he will be injured. After all, there has been no outdoor training for a long time, and I'm afraid that injuries will occur if he goes on the field at full strength right from the start." The insider explained. At the same time, Taishan team from the player's own point of view, taking into account the upcoming World Cup, Sun Junho's opportunity is very valuable, "During this period of time, we must protect him."
The reason why Sun Junhao is full of fighting spirit, in addition to fighting for Taishan team, the support of the fans also touched him. During the isolation period in Qingdao, he received a long letter from Shandong fans, as well as a bouquet of flowers, "I thought it was from my wife at first." I thought it was from my wife at first." Sun Junhao said with emotion. The letter was full of inspiring words, such as "Because of some objective factors, we did not have the opportunity to go to the scene to cheer for you, but I believe that many Shandong fans, no matter when and where, will be behind you to support you." And "We are looking forward to seeing you in the audience to score goals and assists, and also sincerely hope that you can once again hold the Chinese Super League trophy." In fact, a few weeks ago, Sun Junho already knew that the match would be played in Shandong Province. In addition, a small number of tickets would be sold at the Rizhao International Football Center, which made Sun Junhao even more motivated and eager to deliver a great game for Shandong fans. In the end, he lived up to his name and assisted Moises to score the team's second goal.
Sun Junho will participate in the World Cup next month. Now, his wish is to help Taishan win all the matches, especially after learning about the injuries of Liao Lisheng, Fellaini and Jin Jingdao. Sun Junho privately confessed that the reason why he took the risk to play was also to ease the pressure faced by the team and the head coach. With the imminent absence of several rounds of the league, he hopes to live up to the trust of the club and head coach Hao Wei. Hao Wei had said in the conference that he fully supported Sun Junhao to participate in the Qatar World Cup and regarded this event as the honor of the whole Shandong team. Of course, Sun Zhunhao also has a wish: to return in December, I hope there is still a chance to lead the team to win the championship. From the Super League schedule organization, this scene is not impossible to happen.
