At the 'Son Heung-min Talk Show' held at Times Square in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul on the 6th, he was constantly training to prepare for the new season in good physical condition"I went to exercise, but I'm sorry I might have interfered with the other team's training."."

Son Heung-min will join Tottenham's pre-season, which will open 2024-2025 season this month. On the night of the 5th, he played against a soccer team composed of ordinary people at Suji Sports Park in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, and adjusted his condition. Goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu, who was excluded from the entry due to a ruptured knee cruciate ligament at the Qatar Asian Cup earlier this year, was with Son Heung-min.



However, Son's surprise appearance quickly spread through the local community. More than 2,000 residents gathered. In the end, police and firefighting personnel were deployed. Police and firefighters were dispatched at around 9:20 p.m. on the same day as a report of concern about a safety accident was received at 112.

Fortunately, there were no accidents caused by the crowds. Son Heung-min and Kim Seung-gyu were unable to move forward due to crowds of citizens while leaving the stadium.

Son Heung-min also expressed his opinion on the controversy over the 'World Class'. Asked if he thinks he is a world class, he said "No" World Class should be uncontested. The argument itself is because I'm not a world class."

And there are so many players who are good at soccer. There is no such debate for a world-class player." Son Heung-min also said, "I remember that during the Hamburg pre-season, I had a good performance and even got the nickname of "Frenaldo" (Pre-season Ronaldo)," adding, "Ronaldo is my favorite player and role model, so I instilled motivation to make a lot of efforts to exclude 'Free'."."



The event was hosted by Adidas, which sponsored Son Heung-min. I also had a great time with my fans. Son Heung-min was appointed as Tottenham's captain in the 2023-2024 season and led the attack with 17 goals and 10 assists.

He cited the time when he was selected as the captain as the most memorable scene last season. Son Heung-min said, `It was an experience I will never do again, and it was before the start of the season, but it was a special moment"The meeting suddenly happened, and I had to make a cold sweat presentation because I couldn't even get a word in advance."," he recalled. "After finishing the presentation in a sweat, the players teased me about why I couldn't stand still and talk," he said with a smile.

Son Heung-min said he is also refining the technical aspects while looking back on the past season. He says "Monitoring is a must. I look back at any goal that I can do better in any scene." When asked what goal he has turned the most, Son Heung-min cited the goal against Norwich City in the 2022-2023 season, when he was the top scorer in the EPL.

The question of 'Tottenham to win the league', 'Tottenham to win the European Champions League (UCL)', and 'Reproduction of Korea to the semifinals of the World Cup' also drew attention. Son Heung-min said, `All sports are about remembering WINNER and remaining WINNER. I really want to try the 4th round of the World Cup, but I always want to be WINNER. I'll choose to win"But if it had been a World Cup win, I would have chosen the World Cup. Of course, I really want to advance to the World Cup semifinals," he smiled.
