The captain of the Korean national team doesn't care about the results of the Japanese national team game.
The Japanese national team, led by head coach Hajime Moriyasu, won a 3-2 A-match friendly against Brazil at Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo on the 14th. Japan, which had never beaten Brazil with two draws and 11 losses in its past 13 encounters, finally beat Brazil in its 14th attempt.
Japan, which lost back-to-back runs to Paulo Enrique and Gabriel Martinelli in the first half, made a reversal in the second half. Takumi Minamino, Keito Nakamura and Ayase Ueda scored back-to-back goals, reversing the two-goal gap. Since then, Japan has not allowed an equalizer, breaking the winless victory against Brazil that has continued since the September A match.

Naturally, it has to be compared with the performance with Korea. South Korea lost 0-5 against Brazil at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th. It was the result of the game that felt the world's wall. When Japan won in this situation, it became difficult to avoid comparison.
But what about Son Heung-min. The response of the captain of the South Korean national soccer team A was firm. When asked if he had seen the results of the match between Japan and Brazil, Son Heung-min said, `I'm not very interested in it,' adding, `I didn't care at all, but I didn't check it."
Perhaps this is the attitude that South Korea needs the most. The lesson of the defeat against Brazil is entirely up to Hong Myung-bo. Japan had a difference in player composition and face of Brazilian players against South Korea. Their power and future blueprints are also different. Japan won, Brazil is not a weak team, and Paraguay is not a very strong team because Japan drew. On the journey to the World Cup finals, Hong Myung-bo and Moriyasu's paths and walking ways are inevitably different. It was a remark that Son Heung-min's willingness to move forward as the Korean national team rather than crying at Japan's performance and laughing at the defeat stood out.
