I'm more happy to win than Son Heung-min's 9th~10th goal of the season! We need to go to Winningway

Tottenham beat Hoffenheim 3-2 in the seventh round of the Europa League (UEL) League phase in the 2024-2025 season at the Zinsheim Free Zero Arena in Germany on the afternoon of the 23rd (local time). Son Heung-min scored multiple goals in the 22nd minute of the first half and the 32nd minute of the second half. It was his ninth and 10th goals of the season. Son Heung-min, who scored at a moment when he needed a goal, led his team to victory. Tottenham added three points to move to fifth place in the Europa League standings. The first to eighth places will go straight to the round of 16. With one game remaining, Tottenham set a bridgehead for a direct advance to the round of 16 with a victory on the day.
I met Son Heung-min in the mixed zone after the game. He credits his teammates with "the victory won by the hard work of his team, rather than my goal." "I'm proud of young players for preparing a difficult game," he said. "I also tried to put as much as possible in chances." He also stressed that "You need to recharge your confidence by winning, and find a winning way"."

-Congratulations on your victory and multi-goal. When I really needed a goal, I scored a goal when I needed it.
▶First of all, I think the victory that my team members earned through hard work is more valuable than my goal. The away game in the Europa League is quite difficult. Also, it's not an easy game, and I'm happy to win because the players showed such good performance in a difficult situation.
-Let's review the second goal situation. There were no bench members in the team, and the atmosphere was being pushed back. In that situation, a chance came. I felt the will to score a goal.
▶I thought I should put it in once I got that chance. Young players also prepared well, and even though they were young players, I was proud to see them prepare well. I think I'm very proud to show that I'm preparing so well even though I have to suddenly go into a substitution in an away match in the Europa League.
I always try to do my best no matter what the situation is on the field. I think about how to help the team first, so I can't put it in every time when I get that chance, but I tried to put it in as much as I could. I'm very happy that it led to another good situation.
-Now it's against Leicester City. We have to turn it around in the Premier League.
▶First of all, I hope the players can continue their good atmosphere with today's game as much as they do at home. Of course, I know how the fans feel, but in this situation, I think what the players need most is a lot of support when playing at home.
It's definitely a difficult situation for us, but we all have to cheer up. In the end, the players have to show them at the stadium, but I hope you cheer for them because they need the support of the fans to get energy again at the stadium.
We're only a few days away, but we recover well and win the game, and we're going to win, maintain a good atmosphere, recharge our confidence, and it's called Winning Way. I think the most important thing as a rhythm right now is to find Winning Way.
