South Korea captain Son Heung-min and Portugal captain Ronaldo.
The two players have one thing in common: they are superstars who lead the team with the captain’s armband and go to the forefront wearing the number 7 side by side.

“I want to meet Ronaldo. I want to ask him how he trains and talk about football.”
In a very short time, he has become a world-class player comparable to Ronaldo.
Coincidentally, it is similar that both players have gone through ups and downs prior to this World Cup.
Son Heung-min couldn’t even participate due to a facial injury, so he came out wearing a mask… Ronaldo is invincible after a conflict with his former club.
While Son Heung-min has yet to recover to perfect condition… Ronaldo is challenging the record for most goals by a Portuguese player, following the record of scoring in five consecutive tournaments for the first time in history.

“We won, we played well. I helped the team. The rest doesn’t count. What counts now is Portugal.”
There’s a chance Portugal will confirm their move to the round of 16 and shut out key players… But there’s a good chance the two players will face each other as they need to secure top spot in the group to avoid Brazil in the group. 16.
