"Son Heungmin" If you tie it like this...We need to improve further."Leicester's away draw is full of disappointment

Son Heung-min started and played 90 minutes in the first round of the English Premier League (EPL) match between Tottenham and Leicester City in 2024-2025 at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the afternoon of the 19th (local time). The game was tied one to one.
I met Son Heung-min after the game. He said "We dominated the game from the first half to the 15th minute of the second half"But there was a mistake in choosing in the last area" he said regretfully. "Strong teams rarely concede equal goals like this," he said"It's a part that needs to be developed further."

-It was the first game. It was an away game for the promotion team with good momentum. It was a difficult game.
▶In fact, from the first half to the 60th minute, I think we controlled the game by continuing to dominate the game. Actually, I think I made a lot of mistakes in deciding when I went to the last area and chose the area within the penalty box.
It's the same in the cross scene. We created a lot of chances, but in such a situation, there are more things that we can't decide. From the other team's point of view, I think it's a bit disappointing because the game made it a little difficult for us because we had the belief that we could continue to follow the game.
-I worked with Solanke for the first time.
▶But he's a very hard-working player and he showed a very good performance in the team last year. The team paid a lot of money to bring it back, so we have to keep matching it. It's still the first game, so there's a lot more to match, but I'm sure you'll get better results because you're a good player and you're working hard for the team.
-I think there was a big difference in performance in the first half and the second half.
▶I think we have to play more calmly.
In fact, if we created so many chances from the first half, it would have been nice to make it easier for the team to win by continuing to score points. I think the players should pay more attention to those things. It's not enough yet.
I drew the winning game because it wasn't enough. Obviously, good teams and strong teams rarely give up a tie like this in a winning game. I think these are the areas that we need to develop. As you showed a lot of good performances at today's stadium, I think if we continue to do these things consistently, there will definitely be good results for our game in the future.
