Ten years of hard work, Son Heung-min won his first career championship for Tottenham

When the final whistle sounded, Tottenham captain Son Heung-min could no longer suppress his inner excitement, and the 32-year-old cried bitterly. This is the first championship trophy that the Koreans have won at the club level. After joining Tottenham for 10 years, he finally broke the championship drought and wrote his name into the club's history. It is worth mentioning that his former teammate Kane, who was also a good partner, had just won his first career championship at Bayern, and this time, Son Heung-min also caught up with Kane and was no longer the "uncrowned king".

If you only look at the data, Son Heung-min's 46 appearances, 11 goals and 11 assists this season is not bad, but compared with himself in the past few seasons, he is indeed regressing. Of course, there are many reasons for this result, including tactical levels and injuries. However, everyone understands the truth that the winner of competitive sports is the king of losers. When the players' performance is sluggish and the team's record is declining, doubts will naturally keep ringing. So far this season, Son Heung-min has only scored 7 goals in the league, and the pressure can be imagined. On the UEFA Cup stage, the Koreans' performance was not particularly outstanding, and the results of the three goals can only be said to be too average.

But Son Heung-min still withstood the pressure. In this £100 million final, he and his teammates finally waited for the moment of victory. After playing for Tottenham for 10 years, making 454 appearances, and contributing 173 goals and 101 assists, Son Heung-min, who is already the captain of the team, finally won his first career championship, which is why he was so excited and cried with tears in his face. Before playing for Tottenham, Son Heung-min had never won the championship when playing in Hamburg and Leverkusen. Even if the national team-level game was included, the only honor he had won before was the 2018 Asian Games gold medal. But since he was a super-age player at that time, he participated in the competition on behalf of the South Korean U23 national team, that championship could not be classified as the honor of the national team.

After winning the championship, Son Heung-min said excitedly: "This feeling is crazy. I have been waiting for this moment for 10 years. This is a moment when my dream comes true. I am really grateful to be a member of this team. I did have the opportunity to leave in the past, but I stayed here because I want to do this. I want to do something special that others have not been able to do. I did it, I am very happy, and I hope we can create more good results together."
