After South Korea fell to Brazil in the final price of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, captain Heung-min Son apologized for his country’s harsh exit from the FIFA World Cup.
The “Taegeuk Warriors” could not defeat the “Samba Dancers”, who scored four goals in the first half before substitute Baek Sung-ho scored a goal with a quarter of an hour remaining.
Korea, which reached the elimination rounds for the third time, was hoping to achieve a surprise, as it did at home in 2002 when it overthrew Italy and Spain in the eighth and quarter-finals, respectively, before falling to the German machines in the fourth quarter.
“I can only apologize to our fans that we did not live up to expectations,” said Son, who played in Qatar with a mask following surgery he underwent after suffering a fracture around his eye.
And he continued in an interview with reporters, “We gave our best, but I think we played a difficult match. But there is no doubt that all the players fought with pride and did their best and worked hard to get here.”
