Son Heung-min is doing a click ceremony after scoring.
Son Heung-min's left-footed kick goal in the match against Singapore in November was selected as the "Goal of the Year" selected by fans. In addition, the "Game of the Year" was an away match in China in the second qualifying round of the North-China World Cup, which won 3-0.
The fan vote was conducted by the Korea Football Association through the association's website from the 11th to the 20th, and a total of 25,908 soccer fans participated.
Son, who was selected as the "Goal of the Year," received 11,473 votes, or 44 percent of the total votes. In the match against Singapore in the second Asian qualifying round for the North-China World Cup held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on April 16, Son scored his third goal of the team with a left-footed mid-range shot that hit the top of the opposite net in the 18th minute of the second half.
The second and third places are all free-kick goals. Lee Kang-in's left-footed free-kick goal in a friendly match against Tunisia on Oct. 13 ranked second with 9,754 votes. Baek's free-kick goal in the match against Kuwait in the group league at the Hangzhou Asian Games was ranked third with 1,834 votes.
In this year's event, the match against China, a preliminary round for the World Cup, which took place in Shenzhen, China on April 21, attracted 11,114 people to rank No. 1. Team Korea showed off overwhelming performance in the event, and won the match with two goals by Son Heung-min and a header by Jung Seung-hyun.
In addition, the final match of the Hangzhou Asian Games, which won the gold medal with a "Korea-Japan match," came in second with 7,132 votes, and the Tunisian national team's invitational friendly match, which overturned expectations and won a landslide 4-0 victory, came in third with 6,329 votes. 스포츠토토
Since 2002, the Korea Football Association has been conducting fan voting to select "Goal of the Year" and "Game of the Year" for national team games held at the end of the year. Last year, Hwang Hee-chan's winning goal from the same game as the "Game of the Year" against Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar was selected by fans.
'Scary' Saudi Wave, 'Grateful' Taegeukgi And Red Devil
Saudi Arabia's green wave was at a shocking level. Among them, the Taegeukgi stood out even more.
The South Korean national team led by Jürgen Klinsmann will play Saudi Arabia 56th in the round of 16 at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation Qatar Asian Cup at Education City Stadium in Alayyan, Qatar, at 1 a.m. on Saturday. The winner of the match will face Australia in the quarterfinals.
Saudi Arabia's spectators were huge. It was predicted that more than 30,000 Saudi Arabian fans would flock even before the opening of the match. Saudi Arabia, which is close to Qatar and can be moved by car, reportedly made reservations envisaging the team's No. 1 ranking, and in fact, it flocked to the area around the time of Game 3. As I was staying at an accommodation located in Alayyan, I felt it more directly than anyone else.
The Education City Stadium was filled with green waves three hours before the game started. There was also a green wave at the media center located in Doha, and only people wearing Saudi Arabian flags were seen in the stadium. The media center was located in downtown Qatar and was enjoying the game as it was possible to get to the Education City station at once by subway. The store that sells official merchandise was also wearing Saudi Arabia-related goods, followed by a Saudi Arabia concert. Some Korean fans were seen, but only a few Saudi fans were there. Some people hung Saudi Arabian flags given by the competition. At first glance, it felt like a Saudi Arabian home. 스포츠토토
The same happened in the stadium. Saudi Arabian fans were amazing. Before kickoff, the emcee said, "Make some noise if you are rooting for Korea," but Saudi Arabian fans booed louder than Korean fans. The wave of the Saudi Arabian flag was amazing. It was overwhelming indeed. When the Saudi Arabian national anthem was played, the team even held a card section wishing for its fourth win in the Asian Cup.
Despite the tremendous support from Saudi Arabia, the Korean national flag was visible. Even in a relatively small number, many Korean fans were holding the national flag, and there was also the Red Devils in the middle of the green wave. I was moved and grateful when I shouted "Korea" and held up the national flag when the national anthem rang out.
Now, Education City Stadium is a battlefield. Everyone hopes that the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar will bring about a miracle.

Lee, finish the year with one goal and two assists
Overseas players such as Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae are fierce
Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain PSG scored his second assist of the season in his team's last game this year. Korean soccer, which is facing a golden age centered on overseas players including Lee Kang-in, will take on new challenges at major international competitions such as the Asian Football Confederation AFC Asian Cup and the Paris Olympics next year.
Lee Kang-in contributed to his team's 3-1 victory against FC Mes in the 2023-2024 League 1 at Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on the 21st. Lee Kang-in, who joined PSG in July, finished the year with one goal and two assists in the league.
Lee is expected to play in the UEFA Champions League next year as well as in the league and the national team. Lee's PSG is in the round of 16 teams in the UCL. Lee also scored his PSG debut goal in this season's UCL group stage.
This year, Korean soccer is said to have entered a new turning point with the growth of Lee Kang-in. Launched in March, the "Clinsman" overcame the chaotic atmosphere in the early days and won five wins, three draws and two losses in 10 A matches. Lee Kang-in, who was called by manager Jurgen Klinsman, scored four goals in eight A matches, empowering the national team's attacking football.
In his recent five-game winning streak, he has scored 19 goals without allowing any loss. Lee has perfectly established himself as a member of the national team, boasting his creative passes, pressure-free play, and sharp free kicks. Expectations for Korea's win at the Asian Cup next year have also increased. 사설토토
European leagues such as Lee Kang-in also raged. Team Korea's "captain" Son Heung-min Tottenham Hotspur of the Klin's team achieved 100 goals overall in the English Premier League and 200 goals overall in Europe, and even kicked his team's captain's armband. "Monster defender" Kim Min-jae Bayern Munich landed in the German stage. In the last league match of this year against Wolfsburg, he played full-time and helped his team win 2-1. Strikers such as Cho Kyu-sung Mitt Whelan and Hwang Hee-chan Wolverhampton have also become core resources of the team.
The U-23 U-23 Korean national soccer team is also drawing attention. Hwang won the title at this year's Hangzhou Asian Games, becoming the first Korean men's soccer player to win three consecutive games. Hwang, who won all seven matches during the Asian Games, showed off his aggressive attack by scoring 27 goals. Lee Kang-in, an overseas player, also joined the team after going through twists and turns, contributing to the Asian Games gold medal. He will play again next year as his primary goal to advance to the Paris Olympics.
