Son Heung-min regained his scoring touch by scoring his first goal of the season in the LA Galaxy game, but his playing time will be adjusted for the time being due to a tight schedule. LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo emphasized the importance of managing players' physical condition amidst a hectic schedule of nine games in a month. In particular, Son Heung-min may be substituted during matches and is likely to take a rest for the next game. Cherundolo said that Son Heung-min understands this playing time adjustment policy. He also expressed satisfaction with the abilities of wingers such as Denis Bouanga, David Martinez, and Tyler Boyd, and stated his intention to fix Son Heung-min as a center forward.
