In the 30th round of the Premier League in the 2022/2023 season, Tottenham star Sun Xingmin broke through the Brighton gate with an iconic long shot from outside the penalty area and officially became a member of the Premier League 100-goal club. Another new record for an Asian player in the Premier League was broken by “Sun Tianwang”. Since joining Tottenham in July 2015, he has played 260 times in the Premier League and scored 100 goals in 8 seasons. There is no doubt that Sun Xingmin is the number one player in Asian football today. .
After the game, Sun Xingmin wrote on social media: “I scored 100 Premier League goals, and I am very proud to be the first Asian player to achieve this achievement. I am proud because if I can achieve this If it’s an achievement, then it’s achievable for anyone who grew up in Asia.”
As an Asian player, what is the concept of scoring 100 goals in the Premier League?Before Sun Xingmin, since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, there have been only 33 players with a hundred goals. All of them are famous and accomplished. Local fans in England believe that only players who have achieved a hundred goals in the Premier League will be regarded as top scorers. , the last new member of the Premier League hundred goals, is returning to theManchester UnitedCristiano Ronaldo.
Considering that Sun Xingmin is not a pure shooter. As well as his not rich starting position in the team, more than 200 games have ranked among the top 100 goals clubs. Among the players with the same data, Ronaldo scored 103 goals in 236 games, and Drogba scored 104 goals in 254 games. From this perspective, Sun Xingmin’s value to the Premier League is equivalent to Ronaldo and Drogba.
In the eight seasons in which Sun Xingmin scored 100 goals, except for the first season and this season, he was able to achieve double figures in the number of goals in each season, and achieved a double-double of goals and assists in four seasons, so , He is also the first Asian player with more than 50 assists in the Premier League. So far, he has exclusively enjoyed a number of records for Asian players in the Premier League, including but not limited to the only Asian player with four goals in a single game, the only Asian Premier League Golden Boot, and the Asian player with the most Premier League hat-tricks. Even in leagues outside the Premier League, few Asian players have achieved so many achievements-Cha Fangen did not score 100 goals in Germany at that time, and until 1999 he was still the holder of the Bundesliga foreign aid scoring record.
As the so-called good attacker moves above the sky, Sun Xingmin is worthy of being a top scorer. His scoring methods are extremely rich. 100 Premier League goals show his comprehensive ability, 41 left-footed goals, 55 right-footed goals, Very typical no-foot shooter. If you want to practice such “magic skills” in football, you can only achieve this level the day following tomorrow if you get used to biped training since childhood. His grandfather once asked him to practice 500 shots on each of his left and right feet following each training session. This step alone may have been regarded as boring by many people in childhood and given up. Similarly, Sun Xingmin’s career has been steadily improving just like his football skills. It takes perseverance to break through history.
