“I want to meet Ronaldo. I want to ask him how he works out and talk regarding football.”
In no time, he has grown into a world-class player comparable to Ronaldo.
Coincidentally, it is similar that both players went through ups and downs ahead of this World Cup.
Son Heung-min was unable to even participate due to a facial injury, so he went out wearing a mask… Ronaldo is invincible following a conflict with his former team.
While Son Heung-min has yet to recover in perfect condition… Ronaldo is challenging the record for the most goals by a Portuguese player, following the record of scoring in five consecutive tournaments for the first time in history.
