Son Heung-Min reveals they were LUCKY to return SAFELY from North Korea

Tottenham star Son Heung-Min says they feel happy to return from North Korea safely. South Korea and North Korea national teams met in Pyongyang for the first time since 1990. There was no live broadcast, South Korean fans weren’t allowed to visit the stadium. Moreover, international tourists in North Korea, were also not allowed to watch the game and no foreign media watched the game either. Match finished with a goalless draw, however, according to Spurs star, the match was more about aggressive behavior from North Korea players, rather than football. "It's too bad that we didn't win, but the match was very aggressive to a degree that I think it's a huge achievement just to return safely without being injured," Son told reporters after the game (via Daily Mail) "North Korean players were sensitive and aggressive. There was a lot of severe swearing." he added.
