"My favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo!"
Who is Son Heung-min's favorite player. In a recent interview with the Gold Span Zone, Son was asked to select five of his favorite players as a child.
Park came in fifth. He called Park Ji-sung the `national hero.' Son Heung-min showed his respect for Park Ji-sung at every opportunity. Park Ji-sung moved to Manchester United, the world's best club at the time, and played an active role as a voice hero. As he watched Park Ji-sung's journey clearly, Son Heung-min expressed his affection for Park Ji-sung several times. As a child, he also expressed his desire to play at Old Trafford one day.
Fourth and third place were Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldinho. The two players were rarely mentioned on Son's list of favorite players, but they are undoubtedly the best legends. He was also Son's best player in his childhood.
The first and second places were as expected. The Great Battle of Meho unfolded. Lionel Messi and Ronaldo are the best players who have divided world soccer for the past decade or so without explanation. He rose to the GOAT ranks with a formidable record. Son's choice was Ronaldo. He ranked Ronaldo first and Messi second.
Son Heung-min's love for Ronaldo is well known. Son Heung-min picked Ronaldo as his role model several times. His play style was similar, and he was called 'Sonaldo'. Son Heung-min once faced Ronaldo, and it was the 2022 Qatar World Cup. At that time, the two players started side by side in the third round of the group stage. Ronaldo showed sluggish performance on the day, helping Kim Young-kwon score the winning goal. On the other hand, Son Heung-min led South Korea to the round of 16 with fantastic assist to help Hwang Hee-chan's winning goal in the fighting spirit of wearing a mask.
