After the South Korean national team drew 2-2 with the Jordanian team, Son Heung Min revealed that he had watched the Vietnamese national team play and sent words of encouragement to Coach Philippe Troussier and his team.
“I want to thank the Vietnamese fans for their support of the South Korean team. I have watched the Vietnamese team play. It’s a pity the result was not as desired. However, I am impressed with the Vietnamese team because the players have given their all for their country. I always support the Vietnamese team. Good luck to you all,” Son Heung Min shared in response to a question from a Vietnamese reporter at the Asian Cup 2023.
The Vietnamese team was eliminated early from the Asian Cup 2023 after losing to the Japanese team 2-4 and the Indonesian team 0-1. Coach Philippe Troussier’s team still has a final match against the Iraqi team at 18:30 on January 24th.
Meanwhile, the South Korean team is currently second in Group E, with the same 4 points as the Jordanian team but with a lesser goal difference. In the final round of the Asian Cup group stage, Son Heung Min and his teammates will face the Malaysian team.
In the recent match against Jordan, Son Heung Min scored the opening goal from the penalty spot in the 9th minute. However, the South Korean team was later led by the opposition and only managed to draw 2-2 in stoppage time after a own goal by the Jordanian central defender Yazan Al-Arab.
