Tottenham: Heung-min Son seeks ‘something special’ as Spurs target a strong run-in.
The captain came off the bench upon his return to from the Asian Cup to set up Brennan Johnson’s winner against Brighton.
Tottenham’s skipper, Heung-min Son, expressed how returning to club duties has been a source of solace following South Korea’s Asian Cup elimination, aiming to uplift spirits by achieving something significant with Spurs.
Son’s impact was evident in Spurs’ dramatic 2-1 victory over Brighton, where his timely assist for Brennan Johnson’s winning goal in stoppage-time sealed the win.
Reflecting on South Korea’s Asian Cup disappointment, Son shared, “It’s difficult to revisit those memories, but it’s part of the game. It was a painful experience, but getting back on the field and playing for Spurs again has been therapeutic, bringing back the joy I lost during the tournament.”
We can’t promise but we will do our best to make it something special.
Heung-Min Son
I returned swiftly to assist the team, eager to contribute and be a valuable part of our collective efforts. The recent triumph against Brighton has propelled us back into the top four, setting the stage for upcoming home matches against Wolves and Crystal Palace.
My focus remains on supporting the team to the best of my abilities and relishing the opportunity to play under the guidance of our manager alongside my teammates. As we approach the conclusion of the season, our goal is to give our all and strive for something remarkable. While we cannot predict the outcome, we are committed to giving our utmost effort to make it special.
Despite falling behind to Brighton’s early penalty converted by Pascal Gross, we rallied with Pape Sarr’s equalizer in the second half. Upon my introduction alongside Johnson and Bissouma, our collective effort led to Johnson’s dramatic winner.
Johnson acknowledges my impact since joining the club, describing me as ‘unbelievable’ and highlighting my ability to provide decisive passes. He recognizes the quality I bring to the team and appreciates my support during challenging times.
As for myself, I believe there’s more to come from me as I continue to adapt and grow within the team. While there have been ups and downs this season, I remain committed to improving and contributing positively both on and off the pitch.
