‘Humility itself’ A word from the Premier League top scorer “Nothing has changed”

[골닷컴, 파주] Reporter Kim Hyung-joong = It was also humility itself. Son Heung-min was a big star who won the title of top scorer in the Premier League, but his gaze was only on the national team.

The Korean national football team, led by coach Paulo Bento, was convened at the Paju NFC on the followingnoon of the 30th. It is a convening for the 4th consecutive match of the June A match. Son Heung-min, who returned to Korea on the 24th following a successful season in England, also took a short break and then entered Paju.

It was a light step. Son Heung-min, who entered Paju in an all-black fashion, responded “good” to the question of how he was feeling. Before training began, Son Heung-min interviewed reporters.

Again, the biggest topic was the Premier League top scorer title. When asked if anything had changed since winning the top scorer award, he said, “Nothing at all. I’m happy to finish the season well and go to the Champions League.” Naturally, more attention is poured in following the top scorer. However, he said, “I really don’t know. I haven’t experienced it.” He said that the environment around him did not change much following receiving the individual award.

He continued, “I come here representing Korea with a lot of responsibility in the national team. Winning the top scorer was not for the national team. It’s a good thing, but I have another role to play in the national team.” stated the meaning.

However, Son Heung-min’s splendid achievement of winning the top scorer is a great asset for the Bentuho. In recent years, Son Heung-min has been intensively restrained by the opposing team as Korea’s representative ace. More checks and marks are expected with this scoring title as an opportunity. At the same time, however, the opposing team is under pressure to face the player who has scored the most goals in the Premier League, the world’s best stage. The other person’s burden itself can be used to our advantage.

Not only for the national team, but for the fans as well. In Brazil, where the match will be held on the 2nd, most of the players, including Neymar, are from big leagues and big clubs. However, among fans, Korea is called ‘the country with the top scorer in the Premier League’, and the majority of opinions are that there is nothing to be embarrassed regarding.

Heung-Min Son himself is always humble and focused on the team, but this title of top scorer is expected to be of great strength to the national team and fans in many ways.
