Son Heung-min, who decorated the best season like this, actually played different from the time he made his professional debut.
Not long ago, there was a debate about whether Son Heung-min could be called a world-class player, but in the end, he proved this with his skills.
Behind this innate talent and effort, there was my father, who was always with me silently.
Reporter Kim Tae-woon will tell you.

It was Son Heung-min’s professional debut goal 12 years ago.
The calmness and boldness of an 18-year-old.
The Bundesliga also paid attention to the top prospect.
Heung-Min Son has already been a wonder goal maker since then.
He created fantastic goals in places where there were no angles, and his proprietary winding kicks, as well as the storm sprint, were not much different from what they are now.
A hat-trick in the European league that Cha Bum-geun couldn’t.
The first protagonist was Heung-Min Son.

“I was under a lot of pressure to score, but having fun without pressure was linked to scoring.”
That’s why my father’s worries were unusual.
At the time, Son Heung-min’s skills were not enough and he volunteered to be interviewed against the appointment of the national team, causing controversy.

“I can honestly say that I am not at the level or ability to join the national team yet.
Even after moving to the world’s best stage, the Premier League, opportunities were not consistently given, but he also scored his debut goal at an early stage and did not avoid an unfamiliar English interview.

“The strength and speed seem to be different, but I am happy to play here. I wish I could score like this every week.”
Since then, he has grown rapidly and made a name for himself with great goals…
Even then, Son Heung-min’s father did not take his strict gaze away.

“But I’m sorry while I was saying it. It’s definitely not world-class… So it was humility to emphasize a lot to Heungmin.”
As his father taught, Son Heung-min was recognized by his colleagues and coaching staff for his character that was as good as his skills.

“I think I can do better. There are good players and I believe in the team. I am already looking forward to the next season.”
