September 23. Recently, a fake football news was popular on the Internet because it was reprinted by a relatively famous domestic football website, and the source of the reprint was the famous French media RMC. This media has a high reputation in the football circle, but their source of information is very vague. They only list the data and do not give the source of information, so it is not reliable if the information given by a well-known media is reliable.

Some domestic groups quoted a famous domestic football platform. French media RMC. There is no source of information that only mentions data, which constitutes a discussion caused by this news. This news is the so-called "Son Heung-min can sell jerseys more than Messi in the major leagues, and he sold 1.5 million pieces in just a few days, breaking a record.

Except for RMC's mention that Son Heung-min sold 1.5 million jerseys in the United States in a short period of time, no other famous media has reported it. The next news is only mentioned with the number of 1.5 million and the Korean player Son Heung-min is that the Korean media "Korea Times" reported that Son Heung-min joined Los Angeles FC, but the content is that he played in the major leagues of the United States, not that the recent jersey sales exceeded Messi. The 1.5 million of them are Asian population in the Los Angeles area, with Koreans of 300,000. The Asian population is 1.5 million, and the favorite football player of Americans is Messi. When Messi was in Barcelona, ​​he once sold jerseys in a state, surpassing Captain America at that time. How can Son Heung-min surpass Messi? Moreover, the Korean media reported that Son Heung-min's jersey sales were second only to Messi in the first issue, second in history.

The first issue has 1.5 million jerseys. What is the concept? Paris Saint-Germain bought tens of thousands of jerseys a season before Messi joined, and Messi caught up in Paris Saint-Germain in a month. Other giants only have millions of jerseys in a season. Son Heung-min has an Asian aura, but he does not have much influence around the world, let alone want to surpass Messi. His idol Cristiano Ronaldo is far from reaching.
