Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham Hotspur) humbly accepted the criticism. He was also sorry for the fans who believed and supported him. 슬롯사이트 He will definitely try to come back as sharp as in previous years in the remaining period.
In an exclusive interview with the British media ‘Daily Mail’ on the 18th (Korean time), Son Heung-min said, “I know that fans want more from me. I agree 100% with the opinions criticizing me. I’m sorry. I had high expectations because I did well for a long time.”
Son Heung-min won the first Asian Golden Boot in the top 5 European leagues in the English Premier League in the 2021-22 season. He scored multiple goals in the final game against Norwich City, making him joint-top scorer with Mohamed Salah as the Premier League’s top striker.
Expectations were high because Tottenham made a large-scale recruitment this summer and showed the best decision as the top scorer. However, due to a tight schedule, he suffered an orbital fracture during the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. He failed to recover 100% until the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Looking back at the World Cup, Son Heung-min said, “Honestly, I wasn’t in 100% condition. If I had more time, I would have recovered, but I couldn’t. I had a lot of responsibility because I led the national team as captain for five years. I had to participate in the World Cup. It would have been a real nightmare if I hadn’t.”
As Antonio Conte’s tactics and team faltered in the second half, Son Heung-min was also not sharp. He has scored in double figures on each occasion, but this is his fourth Premier League goal this season.
After the top scorer, there were rumors of sluggishness and various reactions because his scoring ability declined. Transfer rumors are circulating. However, Son Heung-min said, “It’s really difficult, but I always watch, analyze, and think about my game. I’m doing my best to do better and develop. It’s been an unforgettable few years, but sometimes bad moments make me stronger. Now I’m positive. I just think and work hard,” he said, firmly promising to rebound.
