Son Heung-min hopes South Korea can achieve better results in the World Cup.

In an interview, South Korean star Son Heung-min discussed his current form and expressed his hope that South Korea will achieve even better results than before at the 2026 World Cup.

Son Heung-min, 33, played for Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur for 10 years and became the first Asian player to win the Premier League Golden Boot.

In addition, Son Heung-min won the Europa League title with Tottenham Hotspur last season, but left Tottenham in August 2025 to join Los Angeles FC. However, in 2026, the Premier League legend only managed two goals in all competitions.

When asked about his current form, Son Heung-min said, "Many people are worried, but I only worry when I play poorly. I don't think that's the case right now. Physically, I feel great."

In addition, South Korea, nicknamed the "Taeguk Warriors," will play two friendly matches against Trinidad and Tobago and El Salvador, respectively, before facing the Czech Republic in the first round of Group A of the World Cup.

Regarding his goals for the World Cup, Son Heung-min said, "We hope to achieve better results this time and go further than in the last World Cup. But the future is unpredictable, and other teams will also be fully prepared."

In addition, Son Heung-min has participated in three World Cups in his career and scored three goals. Regarding his World Cup goal record, Son Heung-min said, "It's impossible for me to completely ignore the discussions about these records. Everyone keeps talking about them, and fans are very interested in them, but I haven't focused too much on these things."

"If I put the team's interests first and think about how I can help the team first, then goals will naturally follow."
