Tottenham's Son Heung-min makes fresh resolutions

Tottenham's Son Heung-min makes fresh resolutions. January. 10, 2017 07:05. by Yun-Cheol Jeong trigger@donga.com. Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min dances with his fellow players on the ground when he scores or is satisfied with the game. But he sheds tears in front of spectators when he makes mistakes or is dissatisfied. Son is frank in showing his emotions.

How did Son react when the game ended with Aston Villa at the England FA Cup 64 round on Monday (Korea time)? During the club interview after the game, he smiled awkwardly while scratching his head, saying, "It would be good to play in more games, and I will have to be prepared and ready whenever my team tells me to play." This was a response to a question "Aren't you happy with this current situation."

As a starter for the game, Sohn scored his second goal at 35 minutes in the second half contributing to his team win 2-0. Scoring his eight goals for the season, Son made a tie with his number of goals last season. However, Son can't be in all smiles because he has yet to establish a solid foothold in his team. In the season's first game in September last year, he played as a main player as he scored two goals. As this team's ace attacker Harry Kane returned, Son was frequently put into the game as a substitute. In this season, Son played as a substitute in six games, and five of them were held after Kane returned to the team on November 6.

Having scored on the day that marks his 500th day since joining Tottenham, Son showed determination that he will not give up in competing for the main player position, saying, "I will show good performance and try to score in all competitions including Leagues and FA Cups."
