Photos of Sun Heung-min carrying a rifle and wearing a camouflage uniform yesterday during military training in South Korea were posted online. The Tottenham star is currently conducting military training at Seogwipo Training Base on Jeju Island on South Korea's south coast.
The 27-year-old has been able to skillfully and accurately shoot football into the bottom corner of all Premier League goals, but now as part of his military training, he has been learning how to actually shoot rifles.
The Tottenham star was photographed wearing camouflage suits/bulletproof helmets and holding weapons. He also completed tear gas, chemistry, biology, radioactivity and nuclear training. However, sharp-eyed netizens found that Sun Xingyu's helmet wanted to take the wrong one with his comrades-in-arms around him, his helmet was no. 136, and his clothes were no. 139; and the comrades next to him were just the opposite.
In addition, Son Heung-min has been receiving "discipline education", which may come in handy if Mourinho asks him to play against a difficult defender after football resumes.
In his absence, other Spurs players have returned to the training ground, but he must remain in good health when he returns to Spurs.
The South Korean government requires men to complete 21 months of national service before the age of 28. Son was granted immunity after leading the country to a gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, but still requires three weeks of service for simple military training.
Before going to South Korea, Son Heung-min was unable to move due to a broken arm during the match and is currently recovering well. Think of Sun Xingyu still insisting on finishing the game after breaking his bones, and now honing his will in the army, thinking about some of the "white chicken" players in China, I really don't know what to say.
