Son Heung-min Reveals his Feelings: “It’s the Hardest Week of my Life”
Son Heung-min, who returned to his team Tottenham after the Asian Cup, revealed his feelings for the first time since the national soccer team's infighting incident, saying he had "the most difficult week of my life."
On the 17th (Korean time), Son Heung-min shared his feelings about returning to the team after the Asian Cup through an interview with Tottenham club channel 'Spurs Play'.
Son Heung-min returned to his team after the Korean national team lost 0-2 to Jordan in the Asian Cup semifinals held in Qatar on the 7th, and returned to Tottenham as a substitute in the English Premier League (EPL) match against Brighton on the 11th.
Starting with the British popular newspaper The Sun on the 14th, this interview was released amid ongoing controversy as the national team's discord broke out around Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) the day before the Jordan match, and Son Heung-min's finger injury resulting from the resulting physical fight was belatedly known. 파워볼사이트
Son Heung-min, who was brought in with applause from fans in the match against Brighton, said, "I didn't expect it, but it was surprising.
When I receive such a welcome, I feel like I'm back home.
I think it was because I was still in pain and pain after the Asian Cup" I saw.
He said, "It's a huge honor to receive such hospitality.
I want to say thank you.
It was the hardest week of my life, but my fans made me happy and strong again.
It's a moment I'll never forget in my life, until the day I die."
“It is,” he said.
Reflecting on when he returned to the Tottenham training ground, he said, "The players gave me the biggest hug I needed.
It was a difficult week, but everyone - players, fans, staff, and coaches - gave me strength and made me feel positive.
“I was able to come back with ‘In Sonny’,” he said with a smile.
Son Heung-min, who led the team to a 2-1 comeback win by providing his sixth assist of the season in the game against Brighton on his return to Tottenham, prepares for the 25th round of the EPL against Wolverhampton at midnight on the 18th.
The 'Korean Derby' with Hwang Hee-chan is also a highly anticipated match.
Son Heung-min once again emphasized, “Thank you for the support and welcome,” and expressed his determination, “As long as I play for Tottenham, I want to make the fans smile happily and make them proud.”
Meanwhile, when Tottenham's coach Anzhi Postekoglou (Australia) was asked about the internal dispute in the Korean national team at a press conference held ahead of the game against Wolverhampton, he said, "I don't know the details, and I don't want to know because it is an internal matter.
It's up to the Korea Football Association to handle it."
“But he gave strength to Son Heung-min.
“What I know is that Son Heung-min is showing leadership,” he said.
“Leadership is not about being popular and making everyone happy, it’s about standing up for what you think is best for the group when you don’t feel like it’s right.”

‘Superstar’ Ohtani Hits a Home Run in his First Live Betting After Surgery
Shohei Ohtani (29, Los Angeles Dodgers) batted live for the first time after elbow surgery and hit a home run.
On the 20th (Korean time), Ohtani stood at bat three times at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona, USA, where the Dodgers' spring camp was in progress.
MLB.com reported Ohtani's live betting process in detail. 파워볼게임
In his first at-bat, Ohtani just watched Ryan Brazier hit five balls.
Against the next pitcher, Blake Treinen, he swung the bat at the first pitch, and the batted ball hit Ohtani's foot.
MLB.com reported, "Ohtani seemed to feel pain and shouted, causing tension at Camelback Ranch for a moment.
Fortunately, Ohtani was not hurt, and he came back to bat and struck out."
A refreshing home run came out in the third at-bat.
Ohtani caught JP Feyereisen's 6th pitch fastball and cleared the wall in right-center, and cheers erupted.
The Dodgers team welcomed Ohtani's 'first home run in live batting' to the extent that even Feyereisen, who allowed the home run, said, "It was good to see Ohtani swinging the bat in a healthy manner and hitting a home run."
This is the first time Ohtani has hit a pitcher's ball since September last year, when he underwent elbow surgery.
Otani raised concerns by filtering out live betting on the 17th and 19th.
However, on the day of his first live betting, he drew cheers.
MLB.com reported, "It is very likely that Ohtani will play in the opening two-game series against the San Diego Padres to be held at Gocheok Dome in Korea on March 20th and 21st."
Ohtani, who caused a syndrome in the major leagues by working as a pitcher, signed a 10-year contract with the Dodgers worth 700 million dollars (about 925.5 billion won) after the 2023 season.
He plans to play only as a hitter in the 2024 season.
However, the will to resume the two-tasking business is still strong.
Ohtani's agent, Nezu Valero, said in an interview with Japan's Full Count that day, "Shohei Ohtani is expected to resume pitcher training in April.
Since he has experience returning as a pitcher after elbow surgery, he will be able to play both as a pitcher and a hitter when the 2025 season opens.
“We will prepare,” he said.
