Son Heung-Min promised to “end” his Tottenham career by leading the troubled team to the glory of the Europa League in the final against Manchester United. The captain of Spurs Son scored 173 goals in 451 appearances in 10 seasons in northern London, but did not end the drought of the 17 -year -old club trophy. The South Korea striker suffered painful defeats in the Champions League final against Liverpool in 2019 and the centerpiece of the League Cup against Manchester City four years ago. But the hope of next Wednesday was the confrontation in English with United in Bilbao will be a more joyful experience.
While the Ange Postcoglou team has endured a hot Premier League campaign, they saved the best for Europe to reach the first final of the turbulent reign of two years of Australian.
During an interview with the Korean media on the last day of the Europa league media on Monday, its said: “We have been talking about it for years. The greatest reason I stayed in Tottenham was because I wanted to do something that others could not do.
“This is probably why I’m where I’m now. You need all the parts to complete a puzzle. I think I gathered all the other pieces to make this puzzle complete.
“I feel like I missed this latest the most important final play and that I have been trying to find it for 10 years. I really hope that I can finally finish the puzzle this time.
“It’s different this time. I really want to win – more than anyone, I think. So many people support us with the same desperate passion as I feel. If we are preparing well, I think we can get there.”
His watched the former Tottenham teammate to taste the success elsewhere after leaving the club, with Harry Kane the last after helping Bayern Munich as Bundesliga earlier this month.
The duo concluded a formidable partnership in Tottenham and even if Kane left almost two years ago, his success gave his son “Energy” before the force test with United in Spain.
“I actually sent a text to Harry and he reminded me during a video call! I was really happy to see him happy,” said his.
“He is one of my best friends and see a teammate formerly realizing so much, I was delighted for him as if he were my family. With this positive energy, I hope he can also support the spurs in the game so that we can get a good result like his.
“For me, each match is special and each game is significant, but this game looks like an opportunity that does not come back.”
