The media outlet said, “Son Heung-min is not just one of the biggest stars in Asia. He is one of the world’s best stars. Players who had a good season in the European league this season, including Kim Min-jae, Hwang Hee-chan and Lee Kang-in, will raise the level of AFC tournaments perfectly,” adding, “There has been a wide gap between Asian and European teams for decades. The gap between world and Asian soccer has narrowed rapidly in recent years. It will be one of the best Asian Cups ever to see how strong the Asian teams are.”
In particular, he specifically mentioned Son Heung-min.
“Son Heung-min played the captain role after Tottenham Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich and showed brilliant leadership,” he said. “From a technical point of view, we will have a very strong tournament with very good players,” he said. “Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Qatar are the favorites to win this tournament.”
South Korea is in a group with Bahrain, Malaysia and Jordan at the event, which will be held in Doha, Qatar from the 12th to February 10th.
