Tottenham fans will like Son Heung-min's recent performance in the Korean national team. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min continues to shine on the international stage.
Son Heung-min struggled with injuries earlier this season. He repeated his return and departure. Tottenham have extremely limited playing time, replacing Son Heung-min before 60 minutes in two consecutive games.
Son Heung-min was selected for the Korean national team during the A-match break. Last October, Son Heung-min was excluded from the transfer due to injury.
Son Heung-min took the lead in the 3-1 victory against Kuwait on the 14th, scoring a penalty he won himself while playing for 64 minutes.
Hotspur HQ played an important role in Son's victory over Kuwait. Thanks to this, Korea's World Cup qualification went smoothly. He noted Son's interview, saying, 'Not only did he perform well on the field, but he also gave news that reassured him of his physical strength.
Hotspur HQ explained that `Son Heung-min spread everyone around that he was back in full condition with an optimistic tone in his post-match interview.'
Son Heung-min said, `It's always nice to win. The players worked hard every day and were able to win. You might think it was an easy game, but it wasn't. I'm happy that my efforts turned out to be a result on the field."
"Through the match against Kuwait, Son set a milestone of 130 A matches," said Hotspur HQ. What's more surprising is that Son Heung-min scored a total of 50 goals in A matches. He took a step closer to his legendary status in Korea. He exclaimed, "We are eight goals behind Cha Bum-keun, who has scored the most points in Korean history."
Son Heung-min added "I'm grateful to even get the chance. I am grateful to my colleagues and coaching staff. I played for the first time in a long time, and I was able to score a goal because the players helped me. It's an honor just to be mentioned by name (with seniors)."
Son Heung-min said, `My physical condition is really good. I'm back to my original condition. It was possible because you managed it well. I'm confident that I'll be able to play 100% in the next game."

National team coach Hong Myung-bo expressed his intention to use Son Heung-min carefully yet.
Coach Hong said, `Son Heung-min is an important player in our team. Now, he repeats the situation of suffering from injury and recovering. I played 90 minutes for my team last weekend, but before today's game, I replaced it because it wasn't as good as it was. I intend to continue protecting Son Heung-min for the future in the future."
Meanwhile, the South Korean national soccer A team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, is expected to easily pass the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup.
South Korea has won four consecutive games, gaining 13 points and solidifying its lead in Group B. With four games remaining, second-place Jordan and third-place Iraq have eight points side by side. Up to the second place in the group, they will go straight to the World Cup.
