Captain Sonny apologizes to S Korean supporters after tough loss

Al Rayyav, Qatar, Nov 29 : After a heartbreaking loss that cast a cloud over South Koreas knockout chances on Monday, captain Son Heung-min was apologetic to the teams supporters."I dont really know what to say.

We all did our best and I am sorry that we could only get a result like this," Son said after losing to Ghana 3-2 in Group H action at Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, west of Doha."I am really sorry to all of our fans who cheered for us."Son, who has been playing with a protective mask over his surgically repaired face, put the loss on his shoulders, Yonhap news agency reported."I should have played better individually and also should have done a better job leading the team.

It hurts me so much that I wasnt able to come through," said Son, who even attempted a header."I really cant ask for more from my teammates.

If they keep doing what theyve been doing, Id be a really grateful captain."With one point after two matches, South Korea must beat Portugal in their final group match Friday to have a shot at progressing to the round of 16.But the team will be without head coach Paulo Bento, who has been suspended for Friday after receiving a red card following Mondays loss.Bento had an argument with referee Anthony Taylor after the official blew the final whistle only moments after South Korea had earned a corner.

"This is not a good situation for the team," Son said."But well try to execute what the coach wants us to execute, and prepare the best we can over the next few days.
