Captain Son Heung-min: “For the development of soccer, a good coach must come”
There is plenty of time until the September A match... “I believe the association will make a good choice.”
Son Heung-min, captain of the Korean national soccer team, emphasized the need to take time to select a good coach for the next head coach.
Son Heung-min started as a left winger in the home game of the 'FIFA 2026 North, Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round final 6th match' against China held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the afternoon of the 11th and played until the end of the game, helping Korea. contributed to the team's 1-0 win.
Son Heung-min, who appeared in his 127th career A match, tied for 4th place with Lee Young-pyo for the most appearances in A matches ever.
Although the expected goal was not scored, Son Heung-min showed off his world-class skills by disrupting the Chinese defense throughout the game.
Son Heung-min said at the press conference after the game, "It was not an easy game, but it was positive that the players were able to finish the game without conceding a goal in unity. The players stayed calm and created many good opportunities, which led to the victory." .
He continued, “There were some regrets. If we had taken advantage of more chances, we would have won by a larger score. But the 1-0 win was perfect, so I’m thankful to the players. “I am also grateful to coach (Kim Do-hoon) and the coaching staff,” he added.
Son Heung-min, who finished the last game of the season, said, “It was a great experience to be able to play with the support of many fans. “I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the fans.” During the first half of the game, as the Chinese away fans booed, he made a gesture with his finger to make it 3-0. He raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers - the thumb, index finger, and middle finger - and curled the fingers of his left hand into a circle to make '0'. This represents the away score from China last November. Son Heung-min said, “I didn’t do anything in particular to be booed,” and “I thought it was unacceptable to do that at our home.” He felt like he was ignoring Korean fans, and he wanted to show something as a player. So, we showed the score we won last year with a gesture,” he explained. He said, “We played a good game today and the most important thing is that we won. This happens often when playing soccer. It is important not to get caught in such a situation. “I also accepted it calmly without being shaken,” he emphasized. Lastly, regarding the direction in which Korean soccer should move, “Rules and regulations are important within the basic framework while learning soccer. I see different directors, have different experiences, and wear clothes of different colors. “Ability is important, but in the end, in soccer, you have to follow the rules and play as promised,” he said. He continued, “Just as when a player leaves, we think and plan in advance for a player to fill the gap, the national team needs to think of the big picture to grow. I hope Korea moves forward with a concrete idea of what kind of soccer it will play. “There are many outstanding players, so we must proceed that way even if it takes time,” he emphasized. Son Heung-min, who was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone after the game, said, “It was a really fun season, including the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL), the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, and the national team game,” and then added, “As a player, It was a season where we could grow to the next level. It was so happy and fun to be able to play the final game in Korea like this. “I sincerely thank you for creating such an environment,” he said. Korea achieved its goal of advancing to the top seed in the third preliminary round with a win against China that day. Son Heung-min, who said, “I don’t think it’s very important,” said, “If we go to the final preliminary round, we have to play against strong teams. Rather than deciding whether to go to the top seed or not, I think we ultimately did what we had to do. It was a convocation period in which the results came and the players were clearly praised. “As captain, I’m happy that the things I paid attention to in every action were reflected on the field,” he said with a smile. A question about the three-finger gesture that was asked at the press conference was also asked in the mixed zone. Son Heung-min said, “I didn’t necessarily do anything to get booed. They booed a little seriously. I wanted to deal with that situation with ease. I suddenly remembered the 3-0 win we went away to last year and made that gesture. “From my perspective, I think I accepted it calmly.” He said, “I think knowing how to use these things comes from experience. (Today’s game) In some ways, it’s our home. “I think I handled it well to a certain extent because I thought that such behavior in our house was disrespectful to our fans,” he added. Regarding his thoughts on achieving ‘4th place in most A-match appearances’, he said, “I feel honored to be able to play this much. I am also very grateful to be in good physical condition. There is a lot of help from those around you. “I want to use this opportunity to say thank you once again,” he said. “I want to play (with the national team) for a long time, and I will do my best to give you as much fun as possible and repay you.” He also recently announced his position on reports that it is unclear whether he will join his team Tottenham and that he may join Fenerbahce in the Turkic Professional Football League. He said, “I have nothing to say yet. There is no conversation going back and forth with the club. It is true that it is a slightly uncomfortable situation. “I am always doing my best for Tottenham.” He continued, “I always said without hiding that I wanted to give something while I was at the club. I have a promise to myself and to my fans, and I want to keep it. We are not yet in a position to talk about a contract. There is still enough time left. “It’s important for me as a player to do what I need to do,” he added. When asked what he wanted from the next coach of the national team, Son Heung-min said, “If you want to bring in the coach you really want, you have to bring in a world-class player, but realistically, it is not easy. Although that part is unfortunate, as a member of the team, he believes that a good coach must come in for Korean soccer to develop. “I believe the Football Association will make a good choice about what kind of football they want and what direction they want to take,” he said. He added, “Now that we have some time until September, I think it will help you make a good choice if you watch the process leisurely rather than being too hasty.” He added, “It is also helpful for the players, fans, and Korean soccer.” “I hope you can wait a little while,” he said.
