Kim apologizes to the fans

—

Below, the words of the blue defender: “First, my observations. I feel sorry for the players and fans who must have been surprised. The meaning of difficulty has been misrepresented. I am a representative player, you have to give your best when you are named in the national squad, when you start in a national team match. I’ve never taken it for granted. Due to a minor injury, due to the long flight time, due to the competition, my body is tired. There is no difficult game. I gave everything and sacrificed myself. In yesterday’s interview, I wore the Taegeuk brand: 49 games played went. I became a player who thought lightly and without knowing, in the team who was just having fun. In a situation where there is ever increasing pressure, I have had a mental breakdown, due to the pressure on the pitch, the responsibility to always do well The disappointment of conceding goals as a defender: these are difficult moments. I am very loved and know now that I am a blessed player. I think it’s something we all need to overcome together as soon as possible. You acknowledge that you have a mental issue that needs to be addressed as a representative player. To the fans and players who must have been disappointed, I apologize once again. Always support the national team. Thanks to the fans who came to the stadium“.
