Son Jun-ho, a South Korean footballer, has been named in the Chinese Super League (CSL) Foreign Player Best XI for the 2021 season.
The award was announced by the CSL on November 5th and Son's name was among those who were recognized for their outstanding performances during the league campaign.
Son, who plays for Shanghai Shenhua, has been a key player for his team this season, scoring six goals and providing four assists in 17 appearances.
His contributions have not gone unnoticed as he was also named to the CSL All-Star Team, which is voted on by players, coaches, and fans.
Son's success with Shanghai Shenhua is part of a larger trend in South Korea's football scene. The country has produced some of the world's top footballers in recent years, including Son himself, who has been compared to Lionel Messi.
However, despite these achievements, South Korea still faces challenges in terms of developing its domestic talent pool and attracting more international talent to the country.
Son's success at Shanghai Shenhua is a testament to the hard work and dedication of players like him, but it will be important for South Korea to continue to invest in youth development and create a more supportive environment for aspiring footballers.
Overall, Son Jun-ho's inclusion in the CSL Foreign Player Best XI is a positive step forward for South Korea's football scene and highlights the potential for continued growth and success in the future.
