South Korean football sensation Son Heung-min has encountered a significant setback with the unexpected elimination of his national team, South Korea, from the Asian Cup following a semi-final loss to Jordan. Despite this devastating defeat, Son has expressed no regrets and is determined to move forward as he resumes Premier League action with Tottenham Hotspur.
South Korea, boasting a talented squad led by the likes of Son, Kim Min-Jae, and Lee Kang-in, had been considered strong contenders to win the tournament under the guidance of manager Jurgen Klinsmann. However, they suffered an unexpected 2-0 defeat at the hands of Jordan in the semi-finals, with goals from Yazan Al-Naimat and Musa Al-Taamari. The loss was further compounded by a disallowed goal for Son and a VAR decision overturning a penalty for South Korea.
Subsequent to the match, an emotional Son expressed his disappointment while also acknowledging the commendable performance of Jordan. He emphasized the significance of learning from the team’s mistakes as they look forward to upcoming competitions.
Son is now preparing to return to Premier League action with Tottenham, with a potential comeback in the upcoming match against Brighton on February 10 or against Wolves on February 17.
