“Don’t forget when and why you started playing soccer”

“I thought about what advice I would have liked to have received when I was playing soccer.”

Tottenham Hotspur hosted Team K-League at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on Nov. 31 in the first leg of the 2024 Coupang Playoff Series, winning 4-3 in a tightly contested match.

The victory extended Tottenham’s preseason winning streak to three games, following a 3-2 win over Vissel Kobe in Tokyo, Japan, on Sept. 27.

The game was a “Tottenham Showcase” for Yang Min-hyuk (18, Gangwon). Yang confirmed his signing for Tottenham on July 28 and will finish the 2024 season with Gangwon FC before heading to Spurs in the winter.

Yang Min-hyuk, who played on the left wing for Team K-League, impressed the Spurs players and manager Enzi Postecoglou with his sharp shooting and dribbling.

Yang Min-hyuk looked sharp in the first half against Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham). After the match, Son Heung-min was asked by the media what he would like to say to Yang Min-hyuk, and he replied, “I thought about what advice I would have liked to have received while playing soccer. I wish he would have told me to work hard and not forget when and why I started playing soccer,” he said.

Son scored two goals on the day in his natural position of left flanker. “Whether I play up top or on the wing, I can play both roles. I think about 안전한 파워볼사이트 what the team needs. I just fulfill the role that is given to me,” he said, adding that he can play both up front and on the wing.

Heung-min played against Team K-League once in Korea in 2022 with Tottenham, so what was it like to face the new-look team again? “I never took it for granted that so many fans came and showed their support. I want to thank them for making my day special and happy,” he said.

“The K League shouldn’t stop here. I think there will be better players. There will be difficult challenges, but someone has to try. I think that’s what makes us better.”

Son Heung-min said, “We traveled from Japan to Korea, and the amount of training was high and the schedule was not easy. Our team is trying to play the soccer we want to play. There are some things that are not good and some things that can be improved. The goal is to get better every game.”

On August 3, Son Heung-min and Tottenham will face Kim Min-jae and Bayern Munich. “Kim Min-jae is a defender I really like. He has a lot of strengths. I’ve always played with the same team, but it will be a new experience. People are looking forward to this match. I hope we can have a fun match without any injuries,” he said.
