"Winning Back Fans Is Up to Us… With Desperation!"

The national football team, led by manager Moreno, will play its first international friendly match against Ecuador tomorrow (September 24).

Team captain Son Heung-min has expressed his determination to win back disappointed fans.

Son has returned to the national team for the first time in two and a half months since the North and Central America World Cup.

He finds great reassurance in his teammates, who have recently been performing well at their respective clubs.

Having spent a joyful time with fans after a long while during yesterday's open training session, Son stated that he will do his best to win back the hearts of fans who were disappointed by the World Cup.

[Son Heung-min/National Football Team Captain: I think winning back their hearts is ultimately up to the players. I believe the most important thing is how passionate and desperate the players look on the pitch....]

Along with trust in interim manager Moreno, he vowed to turn the team's atmosphere around.

[Son Heung-min/National Football Team Captain: He seems to be showing a lot of passion for football, and I'm quite looking forward to it. I hope we can play a wonderful game.]
