"We gave our all. Don't criticize the Korean players that way."
Son Heung-min showed off the charisma of his captain even off the field.
It was a knife-like response to a foreign reporter's rude question without a single second of delay.
Qatari media 'beIN SPORTS' released a video of Son Heung-min responding to an interview right after the round of 16 match against Brazil on the official Twitter account on the 6th Korea time.
The foreign reporter in the video directly asked Son Heung-min, who had just finished the match, "It was a very difficult match.
As soon as Son Heung-min heard the question, he frowned and said to the foreign reporter, "No. We gave everything. Don't criticize us that way."
Son Heung-min resolutely cut off the question that seemed to blame the Korean players for the loss in the match against Brazil.
Son Heung-min said, "As you know, Brazil is more like a champion. If we give space, they score." I don't want to," he said.

Then, when asked what he thought of the young players who played in the second half, he said, "As I said before, I am proud of them. Even though they participated in the World Cup for the first time, they did a great job for our country." I hope you realize how important it is to run."
"I am very proud and happy that our players have done such an amazing job for the national team and country," he said.
This video, which contains the dignity of captain Son Heung-min, spread rapidly around social media and impressed many netizens.
The Korean national soccer team, which gave the people the gift of advancing to the round of 16 in the away World Cup in 12 years, will arrive at Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 7th.
