In China, rude claims against Son Heung-min and Korean soccer were poured out.
South Korea lost 0-5 to Brazil, the first opponent of the October A-match friendly match at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th. Brazil was also strong. It passed the 2026 North-China World Cup Latin American qualifying round in fifth place, but the power to compete for the world's strongest beyond the continent remained. Coach Carlo Ancelotti's resourcefulness also accurately targeted South Korea. The defense was set up tightly with a three-back tactic, but it was not enough to prevent an attack led by Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid).
Son Heung-min, the captain, also struggled. Not only was the pass to Son Heung-min not delivered properly from the back and midfield, but Son Heung-min was also tightly tied to Brazil's Gabriel Magalyangis and Gabriel Militão. He lost back-to-back competitions in the physical fight and speed competition. In the end, Son Heung-min, who wanted to make his 137th game meaningful, entered the bench with a bitter look on his face without even attempting a single shot.

After the game, the Chinese media criticized too much? Sick? China's China dotcom reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Dong Lu, a famous Chinese soccer expert, said that China's 0-1 loss to Japan was much better than South Korea's 0-5 loss to Brazil.
Dong-ru said of Korea's defeat, `It's unfortunate,' but added, `Son Heung-min is no longer good. It depends on speed. He was excellent, but his strength was his speed. If you lose your speed, you won't be able to excel anymore," he said, pointing out Son Heung-min's skills. About the Korean national team "Korean soccer has already come to an end and is declining faster than Japan, which does not easily lose to its opponents.", he criticized.
However, it is not easy to agree with Dong-ru. Dongru previously compared South Korea's defeat with China's loss to Japan, which is difficult to compare between Brazil and Japan. In addition, Son Heung-min proved his competitiveness against world powers such as the United States and Mexico in the A-match in September. Although he struggled against Brazil, there are not many strikers in the world who are active against Brazil.

Meanwhile, South Korea aims to win the match against Paraguay to shake off the disappointing defeat against Brazil. Paraguay dominated South American powerhouses with a solid defense. He did not allow a single run in his two showdowns with Uruguay (0-0 draw, 2-0 win), and also won 1-0 at home against Brazil.
The positive is Paraguay's away performance. Against South American countries in a similar environment, Paraguay achieved poor results in away performance. The gap with the groove was clear. Even after Alfaro's appointment, Paraguay was disappointed with one win, four draws and one loss, five goals and five runs on the road. Apart from home, he could hardly play winning football. Against Paraguay, he will go to prove his competitiveness with the South American team. South Korea will face Paraguay at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 14th.
