[Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London, England) = Egan Sports Chosun Dotcom Reporter] Son Heung-min (Tottenham) shook off the disappointment of failing the penalty kick. And I prayed for the repose of the victims of the Jeju Air accident at Muan Airport.

Son Heung-min started the match between Tottenham and Wolverhampton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 29th (local time). He kicked a penalty kick in the 43rd minute of the first half when he was 1-1 but was saved by goalkeeper Jose Sa. In the 19th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min was replaced. Tottenham drew 2-2 with Wolverhampton.

I met Son Heung-min in the mixed zone after the game. "This is the case," he said, breathing with regret. At the same time, it grows through these cases. Of course, I feel very sorry for my team members."




◇ Q&A with Son Heung-min

-Today's penalty kick and other disappointments remain.

▶This is also the case. All of them grow through these cases. Of course, I'm so sorry to my team members.




I've been putting in a lot of PKs lately. Since I can't do it this time, I think I need to make a chance to practice a little more. First of all, I think it's the most upsetting that I can't win today's game.

-2024 is over. What kind of year was it.

▶I think I'm having a happy year every year. Being loved by a lot of soccer fans, and I think I gave a lot of happiness to a lot of soccer fans that I can give back while playing soccer. I think I'm giving it to them even though I'm not good enough. I'm so thankful that I can play soccer in a healthy way. I've always learned a lot in 2024, I'm learning a lot, and I'm learning a lot even though I have a few days left. I think it will be 2025 when I look forward to it more.




-U Do-ki was also hurt. From the team's point of view, I think there should be reinforcement in the January transfer market.

▶There's nothing I can do. Actually, the most important thing is for the team members to recover well. There are some areas where injuries need to be managed well. As I said before the season, there are so many games that there are cases where injuries are inevitable. I think we have to pay close attention to these things. I think once again that clubs should pay more attention to this. There's nothing that just comes true. That's why I think I'm looking back once again.

-Something unfortunate happened in Korea this morning.

▶ Yes. I don't know what to say after watching such news before the game. I'm sure the bereaved families are having a very hard time. As a Korean citizen, I feel very, very sad that something bad has happened in Korea.

I really want to sincerely say that I pray for the repose of the deceased.
