South Korea must not make the error of showing bigger and more established teams too much respect in next year's World Cup, captain Son Heung-min warned.

South Korea, who were hammered 5-0 by five-times World Cup winners Brazil in an international friendly match last week, claimed a 2-0 home win over Paraguay on Tuesday.

"I think we have to pay attention to small details. And when we go up against strong teams, we have to think about how we can be more aggressive. For instance, I think we respected Brazil too much," Los Angeles FC forward Son told reporters.

"That had a big influence on the result. We now know it hurts to get punched like that, and we have to learn how to fight back ... After a big loss like the one we had, players can feel discouraged, and it can show on the field.
