This year's Qatar World Cup, there were 6 teams participating in the competition for the first time in Asia, setting a record of the largest number of participating teams. So who is the star of these teams? Who can become a key figure in these teams in this World Cup? In this regard, AFC gave their answer.
Sun Heung-min (South Korea)
Club: Tottenham
There is no doubt that Son Heung-min is the number one star in Asian football. This can also be seen from his value. He ranks first in Asia on the latest player value list.
Qatar World Cup is Son Heung-min's third time in the World Cup, and he scored 3 goals in the previous two World Cups. Sun Heung-min 's importance to the Korean team is self-evident. Last season, he made 35 appearances in Premier League , averaging 86 minutes per game, scoring 23 goals and completing 7 assists, and finally won the Premier League Golden Boot Award with 23 goals, which also became the first Asian player to win the award in the European arena. This season, Son Heung-min is still in good shape, but unfortunately, at the beginning of this month, he suffered a face injury in the Champions League group stage. Although the operation was successful, the World Cup was held just during his recovery period, so he had to go to the competition with a special mask.
"Wearing a mask in the World Cup is not difficult. Even if there is only 1% chance, I will try my best to recover in the shortest time, because participating in the World Cup is my dream." Son Heung-min said.
Kamada Dadi (Japan)
Club: ( Frankfurt )
Although this is Kamada Dadi's first time participating in the World Cup, he has become an indispensable member of the Japanese team as he worked hard in Bundesliga .

In 2015, he made his career debut in J League and scored goals. In the summer of 2017, Kamada Dadi joined Frankfurt for a transfer fee of 1.6 million euros. In 2018, Kamada Dadi was loaned to St. Turden of the League One, contributing 16 goals and nine assists, becoming the team's midfield core. After the loan ended, Kamada Dadi, who returned to Frankfurt, gradually became the main force of the team. As an offensive midfielder, although Kamada Odi is still lacking in vision than the top European players, his excellent footwork and offensive ability are no less than the dribbling masters in various European powerhouses.
"There is no doubt that the match against Germany must strive to gain at least 1 point. The importance of the first World Cup is self-evident. We must prepare accordingly for defeating them." Kamada Dadi said.

Dosari ( Saudi Arabia )
Club: Riyadh Crescent
As the only player in the team to score goals in the AFC Champions League, Asian Cup , World Cup, Club World Cup and the Olympics, Dosari is the most critical player in the Saudi team .
