Captain Son Heung-min Asks 'Please Don’t Shake Me'

Asian Cup ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min Asks “Please Don’t Shake Me” In Response to Early Criticism

Klinsmann draws 3-3 with Malaysia... “A disappointing result that is difficult to accept.”

In response to public criticism towards Klinsmann-ho, who continues to play poorly, ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham) said, “Please protect the players and not shake them.”

The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, managed to draw 3-3 in the third and final match of Group E of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup against Malaysia held at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar on the 25th.

Korea, ranked 23rd in the FIFA rankings and considered a candidate to win the tournament, played an ′equal match′ with Malaysia, ranked 130th in the FIFA rankings, which is classified as the weakest, and came from behind. 온라인카지노

Although the team advanced to the round of 16 by finishing second in the group, the criticism against Klinsmann, who ended up drawing 2-2 in the second match against Jordan, is expected to intensify.

Son Heung-min, who scored a penalty kick goal that led to a 3-2 comeback against Malaysia, entered the press conference as the best player of the match (MOM).

He, who had been answering in English, only answered questions in Korean regarding public criticism of the national team.

This was the first time Son Heung-min appeared in front of the media during this tournament.

Son Heung-min said, “I wanted to talk to reporters before preparing for the competition.

“I really wanted to tell you that I hope you don’t shake the players and that I hope you protect them,” he said.

“But I haven’t had a chance to talk to reporters so far.”

I′m asking you to do it now, he said.

He continued, ″Many fans make slightly over the line comments online and on social media, and it′s sad to watch from the sidelines.

All players have families, friends, and colleagues.

It hurts my heart to hear such stories.

He said, “Before I am a soccer player, I am a human being.”

Son Heung-min said, “The players are doing their best to satisfy (the performance level fans want),” and added, “I wish people would care about the players a little more.

He repeatedly emphasized, ″I sincerely ask the reporters and the soccer fans as well.″

Regarding the result of the game on this day, he bowed his head and said, ″It is a difficult result to accept.″

Son Heung-min consoled himself by saying, “Malaysia did not give up until the end.

I am disappointed,” but added, “The most important thing is that we advanced to the round of 16.”

Korea conceded 6 goals in the group stage.

For a title contender, they gave up too many goals.

Son Heung-min said, “Conceding a lot of goals is not ideal,” and added, “If we want to win, we have to play against a strong team.”

He also said, ″Korea drew with Malaysia.

Japan lost to Iraq.

Malaysia deserved a point, and Iraq deserved to win.″

He added, ″Asian soccer is developing.

Everyone says Korea and Japan are the favorites to win, but the final “We have to overcome difficulties to get there.

Both Japan and Korea have to work hard to win,” he said.

Coach Klinsmann, who previously held a press conference, claimed that there was a problem with the referee′s decision during Malaysia′s first and second goals.

However, Son Heung-min repeatedly emphasized, ″We can talk all day about VAR,″ but added, ″We must respect the referee′s decision.

We can object, but we must respect the decision.″
