According to the Vietnam Express, Son Heung-min said through Korean media, “There was not much we could do against Vietnam. It wasn’t that I was great or outstanding. Thanks to the team members’ really good performance, we were able to achieve such a brilliant victory,” he said.
The media outlet said, ‘The 31-year-old superstar thought his contribution was not significant. Despite injury concerns, he created a pass that made the Vietnamese defender commit an own goal with one point and one assist. Son Heung-min explained, “Many people would think it is natural for Korea to win big against Vietnam, but in fact, I said it is not.”
Korea then maintained a 67% market share and recorded 34 shots. Four times more than in Vietnam. Still, Vietnam threatened the goal several times, including a free kick that hit the net. Son Heung-min left the stadium limping after the first half, but he still played in the second half.
The media said, “Son Heung-min scored six goals in the English Premier League this season. Two fewer goals than Manchester City’s Erling Holland, the leading scorer. He scored 38 goals in 114 appearances for the Korean national team. It was 20 goals behind Cha Bum-kun, the legendary player in first place. He is considered the best Asian player of all time,’ he said highly.
