'1 Goals -1 Goals -1 Goals -1 Goals -' Son Heung-min '"Both wins and goals are thanks to the sacrifices of his teammates"

Tottenham won 4-1 in the eighth round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against West Ham in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 19th (local time). Son Heung-min showed a 'hat trick class' such as one goal, one earned goal, induction of one goal, and hitting the one-goal range.
I met him in the mixed zone after the game. Son said of the three-week break "I rested well and recharged myself. It was an injury, so recovering quickly was the most important thing. The focus was on recovery."

-I didn't play for three weeks and took a rest. How did you spend it.
▶First of all, I think I had time to rest well and recharge. It was the most important to recover quickly because it was an injury. I think I put a lot of emphasis on things that I can recover from. So I was able to come back as soon as possible, and I tried to come back faster, but there were risks, so I took these into account. I'm in a good mood because I played a good game today in a good time.
-I watched the national team match on TV. How was it.
▶ On the one hand, I was worried and on the other hand, I was sad that I couldn't be with you. I don't think we can do it together every time in such a situation, but I think there are always various situations.
I think it's a very positive part as a Korean soccer player that players come forward and show great performances even in difficult situations. I think the players should be praised for playing well in a situation where all the players struggled and played against really difficult opponents, away games, and Hong games were not perfect. I was worried, but on the other hand, I was very proud as I watched it.
-As soon as he returned, he scored a goal and led the victory.
▶First of all, I scored a goal and was in a difficult situation. You suffered a painful defeat before the start of the A-match period. Watching the game (Brighton away), as a team captain, I felt really bad. If I was in that stadium, I wanted to help the player even a little more. Rather than me doing it in a game like today, the players worked hard and sacrificed a lot. I'm glad to be able to play such a good game at last.
-Was the second-half replacement talked about in advance.
▶It's rare to talk about this in advance. Since it's my first game since I came back, I think the coach was considerate of me in that regard. If I come out as a substitute, other players will have a chance. The reason why all the players always prepare and train hard is because I want to play as a substitute, so of course, I want to play every game more every time as a player, but I think I'm more proud as a captain if the players come into the stadium and try to play their roles and always give good influence and impact.
-There are a lot of games going on. How is your physical condition.
▶First of all, it's a good phenomenon to go to many competitions. As a player, I think participating in many competitions gives every player the opportunity to play on the field. I'm only thinking about the good parts.
Of course, my goal is to always be in good condition, and it's my mission, so I'll always do my best to prepare for those things.
