◇ Q&A with Son Heung-min
-The results of the game have been good and bad, and so on. How is it from the player's point of view.
▶It's a fact that we can't hide the fact that it's a difficult situation. To be honest, I think it's quite disappointing to lose the game that you have to win. I think we need to do our best to prepare what we can in the current situation. And I hope we can continue the good atmosphere again according to the returning players.
-The director's philosophy is clear and we're going with it. However, contrary to the content, the results are often disappointing.
▶Of course, the results are very important in soccer. It is true that when the results come out, the atmosphere of the players changes a lot. But when you play soccer, there's this flow. In that flow, we seem to be dominated by the flow and dominated by it. As I said in this situation, young players are working harder than I thought. Obviously, I think there are a lot of things that experienced players can do well when they come back and give the team a good plus factor, so if we hang in there well now, I think it will help us rebound once again if the players come back and maintain a good atmosphere.
-What is the current situation as captain.
I don't have any special authority because I'm the ▶ captain. I don't think captaincy has any special power.If I'm criticized for the player in such a situation, of course, I should be criticized. It's because I think that if there are actions that are helpful to the team, of course, you should step up first. It's definitely a difficult situation right now, and of course, I think it's a part where I have to take the lead and lead the players better.
Since young players are playing more roles than they have to play now, I think it will be a little helpful for us to pass through a difficult tunnel if more experienced players cheer up a little more and the players who are returning from injury give more help.
