In the turmoil since the Asian Cup of Nations after his altercation with Heung-Min Son, the PSG player made his mea culpa.
The recent Asian Cup of Nations ended in scandal for South Korea. More than the defeat against Jordan in the semi-final, it was the violent altercation between the two stars of the team, Kang-In Lee and Heung-Min Son, the day before the match, which caused a lively controversy.
At dinner time, several young people from the team, including the Parisian midfielder, would have left the table in a hurry to go play ping-pong, which would have displeased the Tottenham player, who did not deprive himself of tell them. The tone would have risen and a scuffle would have broken out around the ping-pong table, resulting in a dislocated finger for Heung-min Son. Enough to earn very strong criticism for the PSG player, a true star in his country. So much so that some sponsors are considering withdrawing.
“I am deeply sorry. »
Ten days later, Kang-In Lee, after going to London to speak with his captain, published a long message of apology. “My reckless behavior has caused great disappointment to my brother Heung-min Son, the entire team and football fans, he wrote. I didn’t listen to the advice Heung-min gave me as captain, as a big brother, and as a teammate for the unit. I behaved in a way I shouldn’t have at the dinner table that day. I am deeply sorry for these things. Respect and commitment to the team is the most important thing, and I lacked that. »
“I apologize once again for the disappointment I have caused to Korean football fans by deviating from the exemplary behavior and that expected of an athlete representing the country, he added. I know the disappointment is as great as the love you gave me. I will continue to work hard and dedicate myself to improving as a footballer and as a person. »
