It's too bad that we drew the game even though we had more chances." "I felt a bit worse after scoring a goal from the standpoint of watching the game." "It's not that we didn't do well, but it's a bit upsetting and sad that the results of the game didn't follow" "But it's also an opportunity to learn these things and we need to develop further through these games," he said emphatically. Son Heung-min, who has little full time to manage his injury and arrange his condition this season, asked about the adjustment of his playing time and his disappointment, saying, `It's important to do your best in the time you're in the stadium,' adding, `Since there are good players in the team, they are playing good roles. I think the most important thing is to show good performances when you enter the stadium, rather than what I can say," he said, emphasizing the team spirit as the captain.
