The Republic of Korea has withdrawn from the 2018 AFC Asian Cup in the quarterfinals after a 1-0 defeat against Qatar. His star player Son Heung-min revealed that his physical condition was due to his poor performance.

His 26-year-old son admitted that fatigue and lack of sleep had led to sub-par performance in the quarter-finals of the AFC Asian Cup, as the Republic of Korea fell in the 78th minute with Abdulaziz Hatem.

The Tottenham player had started the tournament on a positive note, creating 10 chances for his team just for the two games he had played, but he had revealed that he was practically running at the time of the quarter-finals.

"I felt physically empty. I'm really sorry I dropped my team-mates, coaches and supporters, "he admitted.

"I thought I would start feeling better and growing up in the tournament, but that was not the case. Many people expected great things from us and I got upset about not being able to progress. I know I did not perform well. "

After the Republic of Korea exit in the tournament, Son would be a welcome addition to Tottenham, as the club tries to negotiate a time of crisis after losing Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

However, they should probably allow the player to recover first, especially after revealing that he even had trouble sleeping during the AFC Asian Cup tournament.

"I would rather not really talk about it, but I did not feel good physically," said the striker.

"I was losing sleep – I would have better cared for my condition."
