Captain Hong Myung-bo'Son Heung-min (LAFC) gave a cool answer regarding the possibility of replacing the captain recently raised.

At the press conference ahead of the A-match, related questions emerged, sparking a controversy over the argument. Asked about the captain during a press conference to announce the national team's roster, coach Hong Myung-bo said, `It is important what choices we make for the individual and for the team. I will not decide to change my argument or not from the beginning, but I will have to think about it steadily." It was a theoretical answer that nothing was decided as time was left until next year's World Cup, but controversy arose in the fandom, which never doubted 'Captain Son'. However, Son was comfortable when asked about it.

For Son Heung-min, the A-match against the U.S. became a special story. It is inevitable that the U.S. will play its first A-match after leaving Tottenham for 10 years in the new season and moving to LAFC with Mauricio Pochettino at the helm. Director Pochettino has taught me so much that I think he is 'Geunsa', and I have great respect for him"We meet each other, but I'm so happy to meet again." "We'll do our best to win each other, but we're really happy to meet again like this in a narrow world of football," he added.




Ahead of Hong Myung-bo's first warm-up match after he was confirmed to go to the World Cup finals in North Korea and the U.S., Son Heung-min said, "(It's only been three weeks since I came to the U.S., but I'm also happy to have a new experience at a stadium that I've never been to before," adding, "Playing as you want without fear of failure will help fill your confidence in preparing for the World Cup." I hope the players keep trying to do something"I hoped. "Playing well will be the most important thing in the World Cup."
