[Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London, England) = Egan Sports Chosun, reporter] Son Heung-min (Tottenham) led his team to the quarterfinals of the Europa League.

Tottenham won 3-1 against AZ Alkmaar in the second round of the Europa League round of 16 in 2024-2025 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 13th (local time). They reached the quarterfinals by winning a total of 3-2 in the first and second games. Son Heung-min added one more help in this game. In addition, he led the first goal under intense pressure. He also scored a good pass in the final goal situation.

I met Son Heung-min in the mixed zone after the game. He "I didn't do much today. The other players finished well"All the players did their best in their roles."




◇ Q&A with Son Heung-min

-We're going to continue our challenge with victory today.

▶First of all, I think it's important to go to the next round and reach the quarterfinals. I think I'm very fortunate to be able to take it from a difficult game to a victory.




-I worked hard to solve it aggressively. What kind of evaluation can I make personally?

▶I don't think I did much. The other players finished it off. I think the parts that calmly connected well to the goal in the final process helped the team the most in a way. I think all the players did their best in their roles.

-Now we're going to the quarterfinals. Can we define one step as a great challenge?




▶ I will be humble rather than a great challenge. We don't want to make such a mistake. It's because winning one game doesn't mean everything has come true. I'll try to be as humble as I can. Because there is a big difference between being confident and being arrogant. We will be able to play well enough if we always respect each game with confidence, but with as much humility as possible, and bring out as much as we can. I believe that I will be able to fill my journey with a good game.
