Chinese soccer hope Wu Lei expressed dissatisfaction with Son Heung-min, but he is only criticized.
South Korea won 3-0 in an away match against China in the second Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-Central America World Cup held at the Universiade Sports Center in Shenzhen, China on November 21 last year.
On this day, 'Captain' Son Heung-min scored multiple goals to lead South Korea to victory.
The Korean national soccer team had a 3-0 victory in away matches against China in the second qualifying match for the 2026 FIFA North-Central America World Cup, which took place at the Universiade Sports Center in Shenzhen on November 21 last year. Son scored multiple goals in the match, making an absolute contribution to his team's away match in China.
Son Heung-min scored a penalty kick won by Hwang Hee-chan in the 11th minute of the first half and performed a "shhhh ceremony" in front of the Chinese crowd.
However, China's Wu Lei suddenly approached Son Heung-min and protested. Son Heung-min expressed uncomfortable feelings, and Hwang Hee-chan also blocked Wu Lei.
At the time, interest was high in Urey's remarks, but it was not revealed.
However, Wu Lei spoke about the situation at the time in an interview with Chinese state media CCTV.
"You're a world class player. That's why I told my fans after scoring a goal that I shouldn't do provocative celebrations," Wu Lei said.
However, Japan is also showing interest in Urey's remarks. Soccer Digest explained, "Fans are criticizing Urey's remarks."
Fans criticized him, saying, "Son Heung-min scores against Manchester City and Liverpool, but Urey only scores in Singapore," "China has more Son Heung-min fans than Urey," and "If you are a professional player, don't complain and do your best on the field."
Meanwhile, Wu Lei has a strong chance to play against Son again in June. China will face South Korea in the final round of the second Asian qualifying round for the North-Central America World Cup, scheduled for June 11
