Son Heung-min, one goal, two assists. It's important for younger players to be in the spotlight than my record

Tottenham won 5-0 in the 16th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton, England, on the afternoon of the 15th (local time). Son Heung-min started and played only 45 minutes in the first half. He scored one goal and two assists in 45 minutes. Tottenham scored five goals in the first half alone amid Son Heung-min's performance. Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou replaced Son Heung-min before the start of the second half. He seemed to take care of his physical strength by giving him an early break. Son Heung-min added two assists on the day, recording 68 total league assists. Tottenham has become the most league-aided player in his career.
I met Son Heung-min in the mixed zone after the game. He said "Those records were possible because of the help of all the players." "In the current situation, it is more important for young players, such as Lucas Veribal, Jed Spence, and Archie Gray, to be in the spotlight than my personal record," he said, focusing on saving young players.

-Congratulations on one goal and two assists. He also led the team win. After scoring a goal, I was impressed by how I liked it so much. I felt like I was shaking off all the regrets and difficulties.
▶The players were having a hard time, so when I thought about those parts a little bit, I felt a little comfortable. I felt good because I felt like I was rewarded for the hard work that the players did.
-Today, with two assists, he was named the most assists (68) player in Tottenham's career. I think I'll be proud.
▶Yes, I'm so proud and proud. I think such records were possible because of the help of all the players.
But in the current situation, I think it's more important for players like Lucas, Spence, and Archie Gray to get more spotlight than my personal records. This is because the team will be revived only when these players do better in the future. Obviously, they are young players and it can be a burden, but that's why they become Premier League players. That's why I think it's right to praise the players who did better than my personal record
-Tomorrow, another player who can compliment will come. Yang Min-hyuk is coming, is there anything else I can give you?
▶I think it's the most important thing for Yang Min-hyuk to come and experience, feel, and bump into each other, rather than do something for me directly. It's because people think that they learn the most from what they experience and encounter and feel rather than what they feel when someone always tells them. I'm sure there will be difficult times and good times when I come here, so I hope I can help you well so that you can have a good experience and develop into a good player.
