SEOUL, April 1, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Captain Son Heung-min admitted South Korea have work to do after losing two friendlies in Europe without scoring a goal and with his own form under scrutiny ahead of the World Cup. "The result is certainly disappointing but I think we need to focus on the positive aspects and prepare better for the upcoming World Cup," said Son. "I know fans may feel disappointed compared to their expectations, but the real stage is the World Cup." South Korea have been grouped with co-hosts Mexico, South Africa and the Czech Republic in the 48-team tournament. His last goal for South Korea came in a friendly against Bolivia in November.
