Seoul: Son Heung-min said Wednesday that the Asian Cup bust-up with Lee Kang-in had brought the South Korean team closer, on the eve of a World Cup qualifier against Thailand.
Tottenham and South Korea skipper Son dislocated a finger in a clash with Paris Saint-Germain's Lee on the eve of their defeat in the Asian Cup semi-finals last month.
Lee was widely blamed for the melee, which was triggered after Son objected to some of the younger squad members rushing off to play table tennis after a pre-game dinner.
Reports said that the 23-year-old Lee tried to punch Son, a claim the PSG attacking midfielder denies.
The incident sparked a media furore in South Korea, with reports sponsors briefly moved to drop Lee, before he travelled to London to apologise to Son in person.
