“I think the most important part of this game is that the players played with confidence until the end of the game.”
Despite the unsatisfactory performance, the captain Son Heung-min’s presence stood out throughout the game.
In addition to the picturesque free-kick goal that crossed the defensive wall, as well as active defensive participation…
He did not hesitate to fight nerves with his opponent and showed his fighting spirit to the end.
The record streak that marks a new page in the history of Korean football continued.
For the first time in our history, he scored a free kick goal in two consecutive A matches and scored his 33rd personal A match goal, moving up to tied for 4th with Lee Dong-guk and Kim Jae-han in the all-time top goalscoring list.
And even the day following the match, he did his best to serve the fans without a break.
For the fans who participated in Open Training, I stayed until the end and did all my requests.
“What do you want me to do? I am one body, only one.”
“Celebration!”
“A ceremony?”
“Wow”

“All fatigue is gone, all worries are gone, and Son Heung-min is really like a ‘human nourishment tonic’.”
As Salah was absent from the national team due to an injury and the match with Son Heung-min was unfortunately canceled, the national team will have the final evaluation match of this month’s domestic A match once morest Egypt three days later.
