Recently, a post titled ‘Shocking Son Heung-min’s youngest days at national university’ was posted on a number of online communities. In the article, several photos were posted showing Son Heung-min, who was the youngest member of the national team in the past.
One of the published photos shows a wooden horse being burned. Son Heung-min was smiling while carrying Lee Young-pyo, who was 15 years older than him at the time, on his shoulders. Another photo shows Son Heung-min handing out bottled water to seniors during training.
Ki Sung-yueng’s past SNS also attracts attention. When his senior at the time, Ki Sung-yong, asked for water, Son Heung-min brought him a bundle of 20 bottles of water. In response, Ki Sung-yong said, “I asked Heung-min to bring some water… “Eat and die,” he wrote.
Netizens left comments praising the player, such as “Son Heung-min’s personality has been consistent from the beginning until now,” “Son Heung-min is an eternal captain,” “Retire from the national team and be happy at Tottenham,” and “His skills and personality are excellent.”
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min said in an interview released on Tottenham’s official YouTube channel on the 16th (local time), “I was still in a very difficult and painful situation following the Asian Cup, but when the home fans welcomed me and welcomed me, it was an incredibly amazing feeling. “He said.
He said, “At the time, the game was going in a direction I didn’t want, but they clapped and welcomed me during the warm-up before I went in. It was a truly unbelievable feeling.” “I received an unexpectedly warm welcome and felt like I was back home,” he said.
He added, “It was a great honor to be welcomed. “I want to say thank you,” he said. “It was the hardest week of my life, but you made me happy and cheered me up once more. “I will never forget this moment until I die,” he added.
Previously, the British daily The Sun reported on the 13th (local time) the rumor of discord within the Korean national team, saying, “Tottenham star Son Heung-min got into a fight with his teammates the day before the Asian Cup semifinals and dislocated his finger.”
National team captain Son Heung-min played in the Asian Cup semifinal match between Korea and Jordan on the 7th (Korean time) with his right middle and index fingers taped.
The Sun reported that on the day before the semifinals, junior players tried to leave early because they wanted to play table tennis following dinner, including Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain).
When the fight between seniors and juniors was widely reported, Lee Kang-in bowed his head on social media that day, saying, “I should have taken the lead and followed my brothers’ words, but I am sorry for showing a bad image to soccer fans.”
