Son Heung-min s Ten Years of Tottenham: The Ultimate Confession Before the Europa League Final

On the eve of the UEFA Cup final, Tottenham captain Son Heung-min accepted an exclusive interview on the official website of UEFA. The 32-year-old Asian star opened his heart and talked about his decade-long journey in North London and that unfinished dream - to win the championship trophy for Tottenham.

"It has been ten years, and I have accomplished almost everything," Son Heung-min's eyes flashed with determination, "There is only a lack of a championship trophy. " This obsession has become the last puzzle of his career.

From the golden years of fighting side by side with Kane to the current situation of shouldering the heavy responsibility of captaining alone, Son Heung-min has always maintained a top-level level. The honor of being elected as the best player in the team three times confirms the value of this Korean star. But in his heart, team honors are always higher than personal achievements.

Talking about his motherland, South Korea, Son Heung-min is full of gratitude: "The seniors have paved the way for me, and now I have the responsibility to set an example for my younger generations." This sense of mission has enabled him to always maintain the unique humility and tenacity of Eastern players in European football. The 2019 Champions League final is still a pain in my heart. "Looking at the pain of my opponent holding the cup makes me more eager for victory. " It is this unwillingness that has pushed him to lead the team to the Europa League final this season.

Son Heung-min has a clear understanding of the struggles in the league: "It is because we have not given up that we can stand on the final stage." He revealed that meditation and psychological training are the secrets to keeping ourselves in shape.

Facing his final opponent Manchester United, Son Heung-min showed the calmness and determination that the captain should have: "Respect the opponent, but be yourself more." Behind this sentence is a veteran who has played for Tottenham for ten years and his purest desire for the championship.

Tonight's Madrid Metropolitan Stadium may witness the crowning moment of an Asian legend. For Son Heung-min, this is not only a final, but also the best explanation for his ten-year career as Tottenham.
