‘Multi-goaler’ Son Heung-min “It was a fun game thanks to the fans’ support and love”
Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), who scored his first ‘multi-goal’ performance in front of Korean fans in two years, thanked the fans for their support and love, saying he had a fun game.
Son scored a multi-goal performance in the first match of the 2024 Coupang Playoff Series against Team K-League at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Nov. 31 to lead Tottenham to a 4-3 victory.
It wasn’t just two goals. Son Heung-min lived up to his fans’ expectations with a stellar performance that included a powerful strike that set up Dejan Kluczewski’s first goal in the 29th minute, and he was involved in three of the four goals scored on the day.
After the goal, Son Heung-min did not forget to show his fan service by performing his trademark ‘click ceremony’.
In addition, in the 38th minute of the first half, he scored a goal in the ‘Son Heung-min zone’ and received a loud applause from the 63,000 fans in front of the stadium, showing a spectacular goal scene that could only be seen on TV.
When he was substituted in the 18th minute of the second half, he thanked the fans with a smile on his face as he left the field.
“The conditions were not 100% favorable, including the hot weather, but both teams played well enough to satisfy the fans,” said Son Heung-min in a post-match interview. “We had some shortcomings, but it was a good day to see the teams win and the fans enjoying themselves.”
He was pleased with his partnership with Kluczewski, who 카지노사이트 추천 started up front on the day.
“We often talk about ‘Cepsep’ (Kluczewski’s nickname) as a player who runs a lot, battles on the field and knows exactly what the team needs,” Son said, adding, “We know what kind of plays we like to make and we know what each other likes. It’s just a matter of getting in sync with each other.”
As for Spurs’ preparations for the new season, he said, “We’re working hard every day,” adding, “When I think of our team, I always think of it as being ‘on the ground,’ at the bottom. It’s about the players sacrificing for the team and giving their bodies for their teammates,” he explained.
Son Heung-min also expressed his excitement for the second match of the 2024 Coupang Play Series against Bayern Munich, the ‘German masterpiece’, which will be held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3 at 8pm.
In particular, the ‘spear and shield’ matchup between Munich’s ‘iron pillar’ Kim Min-jae and ‘spear and shield’ Kim Min-jae, who played for the national soccer team, will be a highlight of the Tottenham-Munich matchup.
“Needless to say, Kim Min-jae is my favorite defender,” Son Heung-min said, adding, “He has a lot of strengths, both in the national team and on the European stage.”
“I’ve always played with Kim Min-jae in the national team, but it will be a new experience to play against him. I really want to have a good match.”
“I hope that not only Kim Min-jae, but also the players of Munich and Tottenham will not be injured and that the Korean fans will have a fun and happy match,” he added.
