"Social media, what's that…" "I don't intend to shake, and I won't shake."
'Tottenham Captain" Son Heung-min was honest about the atmosphere inside and outside the team after the defeat by Arsenal after leading the mood to a 3-1 victory with two assists against Brentford.
Son Heung-min's Tottenham came from behind to beat Brentford 3-1 in the fifth round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 21st (Korea time). Son Heung-min helped Brennan Johnson's come-from-behind goal in the 28th minute of the first half when the score was 1-1, scoring an offensive point in four games after his first help of the season and multi-goal against Everton in the second round on the 24th. In the 40th minute of the second half, he handed James Maddison a kill pass through the opponent's defensive legs, leading his team's third goal with multi-help. Immediately after the defeat against Arsenal, Tottenham, which was criticized by fans, succeeded in escaping the crisis by breaking the losing streak. He rose to 10th place in the league with 7 points.
Shortly after the victory, Son told Sports Chosun that `I don't think we should be affected at all by the outside shaking to cause our division"The things we do consistently, the things we always train hard and do our best to win on the field are the most important." "It's the same every year that I've been a professional player for a long time. I don't intend to be shaken or I don't want to be shaken when it comes to trying to shake." In the face of criticism and division, he made it clear that he would be stronger, with a more exemplary appearance as a captain and veteran. "It's important to show younger players that I'm stronger so that they can get through it." He said. "There's definitely no choice but to be someone who shakes it." I don't think you should ever forget your efforts, your achievements, and the things you always work hard for. If those things make me suspicious of what I'm working hard on and what I've done so far as a professional player, it hurts myself, but in the end, it hurts the team the most." "In these situations, it is important to always firmly believe in yourself and firmly believe in our team and clearly overcome these situations."
Son Heung-min also welcomed the revival of Brennan Johnson, a young gun who has been criticized by some fans on social media. Johnson shook off the burden by scoring a 2-1 come-from-behind goal in the Carabao Cup Coventry match and a winning goal in the Brentford match on the same day. Son Heung-min said "It's a pity in the case of Brennan Johnson. "I'm a really young friend, but I'm so sorry that social media makes people feel so hard and makes them feel and perform." "But in the end, it is possible to overcome such a situation because Johnson has a strong mentality and a strong heart. He's such a nice guy. He works so hard. He showed great performance while scoring. All the team members were so happy," he said.
