The news in the world of football was marked abroad by a major altercation between two very well-known players.
It’s a soap opera that the South Korean selection would have done well without, because it concerned its two heads of the gondola. On the eve of the semi-final match of the Asian Cup of Nations, two star players of the team, Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in, were involved in a fight which made the headlines of all the press in the country.
This episode was not without consequences for the cohesion of the group since South Korea lost against Jordan, to everyone’s surprise, the next day (0-2). For their part, the attacking midfielder PSG and the Tottenham striker wanted to make their mea culpa.
The two stars speak
Lee Kang-in posted a text on social media to explain that he had made the trip to apologize to his teammate. “ MThis dishonest behavior left a great disappointment to my brother Heung-min Son, the whole team and football fans, can we read on his Instagram account. I thank Heung-min again for his warm welcome and response to my visit to London.”
Same story for South Korean superstar Heung-min Son. “ As the captain of the Korean national team, I sincerely apologize. (…) I am sincerely sorry for causing trouble and I will work even harder to make the national team grow (…) Kang-in went through very difficult times after this incident. Please forgive him “. End of the story.
