Tottenham tied Fulham 1-1 in the 13th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 1st (local time). Son Heung-min played full time but failed to score an offensive point. It was a bit disappointing to miss the chance in the first minute of the first half.
I met Son Heung-min in the mixed zone after the game. He said "I think the result of the game is disappointing"We tried, but Fulham prepared well as well."

-It was a disappointing result.
▶I think the result of the game is quite disappointing. In fact, I think there was an effort for the players to try and win the game. Nevertheless, I think Fulham has prepared very well. It's a pity that we didn't win at home. I think it's a little more disappointing today.
-I think Solanke's absence must have been big.
▶I think the players did their best in their positions even in a sudden situation. That's why other players always train hard. It's because I worked hard to take another opportunity.
Of course, Solanke is a good player and always plays, but I think when there are such situations (injuries), other players have to step up and solve them well. I hope it gets better soon so that I can be put into the game.
-There are games in Bournemouth during the week and Chelsea during the weekend.
▶I think every game is very important. For now, I think the most important thing is to recover well and maintain good performance in the game. I hope I can go home and recover well and prepare well so that I can play well this week.

-How was the game
▶We also had a chance and Fulham had a chance. Fulham seem to have prepared well and it was a difficult game. It was strong defensively and it wasn't easy for us. Players may have shown fatigue, but they can't use it as an excuse because everyone is playing on such a schedule.
-Why do you win against a big team and allow points against a small team
▶There are no small teams in the Premier League. I don't think there is a small team in the Premier League. Everyone thinks Manchester City are one of the best teams in the world, but I feel like all the Premier League teams are very strong. Every team has a different style of play and is systematically different. We have to do better and win more games and bring more points. I don't think there are any small team big teams in this league. All 20 teams are strong.
-Fraser Foster is performing well
▶I never doubted the poster. He's a great goalkeeper. He saved us for two consecutive games. I'm not saying this because I'm a friend, but I'm a great player. I always showed it in the Premier League and I always show it whenever I defend the goal. We never doubted him. On his own he is proving. We always appreciate his efforts and everyone should appreciate him. Even when he is not running, he prepares as if he is going to play at any time when he sees the readiness of the game. I feel good because I'm showing good performance.
