South Korea lost 0-2 to Jordan in the semifinals of the Asian Cup and stopped in the semifinals. South Korea have not won the Asian Cup in 64 years. The 31-year-old captain Son Heung-min was frustrated after the game, saying: "I don't know if I can continue to play for the national team, coach Klinsmann may not think about me anymore. Son Heung-min apologized several times after the game
Before this Asian Cup, Son Heung-min's father, Sun Xiong, was interviewed by Korean media, bluntly saying that the South Korean team is not as good as Japan, and if South Korea wins the championship now, he will worry that South Korean football will deceive itself and "get sick".
Son Woong-jeong: "From the perspective of the players' individual skills, the Korean team is obviously inferior to the Japanese team, and our footballers need to reflect. South Korea's football is clearly inferior to Japan's in terms of technical training and investment, so they should not be the winning side. Not only me, but all footballers need to reflect on the fact that we have not won the Asian Cup in 64 years. ”
Of course, I want South Korea to win the championship, but if they win without being fully prepared, I am afraid that Korean football will get 'sick' if this situation continues. Even if you are lucky enough to defeat the Japanese team and say that it is okay to win Japan, but this is only self-deception, and to put it bluntly, we should not be the one to win. ”
When asked if Son Heung-min is a world-class player, Son Woong-jeong said: "Please don't say that, the team can use him as much as he wants, he hasn't become a world-class player yet. ”
