Is the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) still lacking analysis of Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min, who left Tottenham for LA FC this summer, is excited across the United States by his recent performance. It didn't take a few games to get used to it perfectly. Son Heung-min started the game against San Jose after the A-match in September, scoring his second goal since his league debut. Son Heung-min, who started the engine, had no intention of stopping. In the ensuing match against Salt Lake, he completed his first MLS hat trick, revealing the dignity of a former top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL).

Son Heung-min's second showdown with Salt Lake on the 22nd also showed no difference in his performance. Son Heung-min, who helped the equalizer with a perfect pass to Dennis Buanga in the first minute of extra time in the first half, shook the net with a long-range shot two minutes later. At the time of the team's third score, it served as a starting point and led the team to a great victory with Buanga's hat trick.

Son Heung-min's performance is also excellent, but MLS teams lack understanding of Son Heung-min. EPL fans watching Son Heung-min's performance have already nagged MLS coaches and defenders.

MLS released the scoring scene of Son Heung-min, who scored a huge shot against Salt Lake on the 22nd (Korea time). Son Heung-min aimed properly at the corner of the goal from the left side of the penalty box arc, and the ball that left Son's tiptoe hit the post and headed straight into the goal.

Along with the scoring scenes, fans pointed out the MLS defenders who blocked Son Heung-min. The fans said, `Son Heung-min is one of the few two-footed players in soccer. You should never be allowed to shoot left or right. That would be a big trouble"."Son Heung-min's shot is magical", "It is a kindergarten-level defense to stop Son Heung-min like that," he said.

In fact, other clubs that confirmed Son Heung-min's strengths during his time at Tottenham have tried several moves and tactics to not allow Son Heung-min to try shooting itself. When Son Heung-min caught the ball on the left, it was common for two defenders to stick together and check it. He was always wary of Son Heung-min's sharp winding, checking the left side of the arc of the penalty box, also known as the `Son Heung-min Zone,' more persistently near the right side of the arc.

However, MLS clubs have yet to properly deal with these facts. In addition, it is an environment in which Son Heung-min can play an active role because many teams are in a good situation to penetrate by giving up a large amount of space behind the defense. Son Heung-min, who is confident in shooting and sprinting, is the best player to show good performance in offense such as scoring.

Son Heung-min, who left the EPL, is playing like a fish in water in the United States. If Son Heung-min is analyzed in MLS, will he be able to stop it. At present, even if the check is persistent, it may be difficult to stop Son Heung-min's foot itself, which is hotter than anyone else.
