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.

[You did well]

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.]
