Son Heung-min (Tottenham) expressed his will to win his first career title ahead of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) final.
Tottenham will play the 2024-25 UEL final against Manchester United (hereinafter referred to as Manchester United) at 4 a.m. on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min attended the official press conference on Monday, a day before the final match, and said, "The league's performance this season is unacceptable. However, league performance is not important now," adding, "We will exchange the worst season for trophies."
As Son Heung-min said, Tottenham ranked 17th with a whopping 21 losses (11 wins and five draws) left until the end of this season's English Premier League. Tottenham's 21 losses in the EPL are the largest losses in a single season since its establishment in 1992. The previous record was 19 losses in the 1993-94 and 2003-04.
It was the worst season Tottenham might have been forced out if Leicester City, Ipswich and Southampton, who had struggled from the start of this season, had not been relegated early.
Tottenham has no trophy for 17 years since reaching the top of the 2008 League Cup, and Son Heung-min has yet to experience a championship at the club since his professional debut.
Son Heung-min reached the UEFA Champions League final in the 2018-19 season and the League Cup final in the 2020-21 season, but shed tears as he lost.
Son Heung-min said, "This final is definitely an important moment," adding, "If we lift the trophy this time, we will be able to compete for more championships in the future."
Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), his "partner," is also rooting for Son, who has yet to win a championship. Kane had his first win at the top of the league after transferring to Bayern Munich after ending his career without a title at Tottenham.
Son Heung-min said, "We had a conversation about the trophy after Kane first experienced it. Kane will support us as Tottenham's biggest fan. I will focus on the game." 카지노
Finally, Son Heung-min said, "I want to give my laughter, trophies and historical moments to fans who will watch the game in Korea until late at night."
