He added, “I don’t remember what I talked about with Kim Min-jae after the game, but I think I just played around because we were so close.”
Son Heung-min had a conversation with Tottenham players after the game. “We talked about how we should put pressure on the tactical part. We still lack that part. To play a more perfect game, we have to complete the details. It is the pre-season to slowly adjust those parts. It is important for the players to match through communication.”

He continued, “Regardless of whether it’s my 10th season, 11th season, or 20th season, I’m always trying to hit the limit rather than setting any goals with my initial intention. Likewise, I hope this season will be a season where I can grow as a soccer player and as a person.”
Tottenham and Son Heung-min have one year left to sign their contracts. News of their renewal is coming up continuously. “I have nothing to say because I am still a member of the club. If you do your best in a given position, something else can happen in the future. I think you will face a good situation if you always work hard in a given position because you cannot predict the future.”
