JAKARTA - The viral action of Ghana's national team coaching staff after The Black Stars successfully beat South Korea 3-2 has drawn comments from netizens. The staff is considered to have taken unethical actions against their opposing player, Son Heung-min.

In the video circulating, a coach can be seen inviting Son Heung-min to take pictures after the game, even though the South Korean player is crying because his team lost. The moment began when three Ghanaian coaching staff came to Son, they intended to entertain the player after the defeat on Tuesday, November 29.

However, one of the staff who was rich and wearing a black hat instead invited the Tottenham Hotspur star to take pictures even though he was not in an ideal situation. Son Heung-min himself kept his head down and didn't look at the phone. Seeing this, other staff asked him to stop the action immediately.

The video of the moment went viral on social media and drew netizens' responses. The majority of them regretted the coaching staff's actions which were deemed unethical when Son was actually sad.

"The staff don't know shame, it's really unethical that Son is sad and even invited to take a photo," said the owner of the @wildanirs***2 account.

"I don't have any ethics either... I'll save Selfie. Happy on the suffering of people. Where do you play roughly and the coach complains to being hit by a red card," replied the account @zareena_***.

For South Korea, the defeat to Ghana further reduced their chances of qualifying for the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup. The Warriors have only collected one point from two Group H matches and must win against the toughest team, Portugal in the last match.

South Korea is in danger of collapsing in the World Cup group stage for the third time in a row after accepting a similar fate in 2014 and 2018. Meanwhile, Son Heung-min deserves to be disappointed because this could be the last World Cup in his career considering he is 30 years old.
