Son Heung-min praised his teammate Hisharlison of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL).
According to the British media Football London on the night of the 8th (Korean time), Son Heung-min explained regarding Hisharlison, “We trained together throughout this pre-season, and he was a player with amazing skills.” Hischarlisson played 152 matches for Everton until last season, leaving 53 points and 14 assists, and signed a five-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur last month and had a meal with Son Heung-min.
Hischarlisson is known for his speed and vigorous activity, as well as excellent stamina and physique. Hischarlisson is expected to make a forward three-top this season along with Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane. He is also expected to form a rivalry with Dejan Klusevsky to revitalize the Tottenham attack. Heung-Min Son said, “Competition is always a good thing. I really enjoy playing with Hisharlisson. Through competition with him, I am always improving.”
Tottenham beat Southampton 4-1 in the opening game of the Premier League on the 6th. Heung-Min Son said, “It was a really important victory. It’s good to start the season with three points. Several players were involved in the scoring.” “I would have expected Nana Kane to score in a 4-1 win, but the fact that several people scored is a good sign (for the team),” he said. “The team is more important than the individual. “It’s a good thing to score.”
Ahead of this season, Tottenham immediately brought in a lot of power, including Hisharlisson, Fraser Foster, Yves Visuma, Ivan Perisic and Clement Langlet. Heung-min Son said, “It doesn’t matter how much you reinforced the team. We have really good players, but it’s important to quickly realize how the team plays.” He added, “Having a good squad doesn’t guarantee success. You have to run to the end of the season.”
