Son Heung-min: Not everyone can participate in the World Cup and hope to do the best


In preparation for the World Cup, South Korea will play warm-up matches with Costa Rica and Cameroon, and Asian superstar Son Heung-min hopes his teammates will enjoy the game.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min will captain the team to the World Cup, which will also be his third World Cup. He expects his teammates to play to their strengths. "The World Cup is always a challenging arena because the opponents are better than us and know what it means to the fans. We can't be afraid, we have to enjoy the game."

Son Heung-min, 30, was the top scorer in the Premier League last season and broke this season's goal drought by scoring a hat-trick in recent games. He said: "Not everyone gets the chance to go to the World Cup, it's been a great year for football, I've played two World Cups myself, I understand the invisible pressure, but luckily the fans always bring us positive energy."

Looking ahead to the Qatar World Cup, Son Heung-min, who has played 102 times for South Korea, said: "I want my teammates to be the best they can be."

He added: "Personally, I don't think too far, I don't know if this is the last World Cup because four years is a long time and if I don't do well, I won't Get the chance to be selected for the national team.
