Liverpool's legendary coach Jurgen Klopp confessed that he regretted not recruiting Son Heung-min in the past. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has been a key player in the team for more than a decade since coming from Germany. Klopp likewise came to England from Germany, where he met Son Heung-min as an enemy in many matches. It can be said that he had a lot of time to experience Son Heung-min's capabilities.
Son Heung-min recently scored with a perfect Panenka kick in a league match against Bournemouth, scoring his 127th goal in the English Premier League (EPL).
The score put Son on par with Jimmy Floyd Haselbink in the Premier League's all-time scoring list. Son Heung-min, who not only scores but also plays creatively, is a player that any coach would want to join in his team.
According to Tottenham Hotspur News in the UK on the 11th, Jurgen Klopp said in a recent interview with a media outlet that he had the opportunity to recruit both Son Heung-min and Sadio Mane during Borussia Dortmund. Recalling the situation at the time, Klopp recalled "We could have brought Son Heung-min from Hamburg then. But I can't even remember why I didn't recruit him.'"I told myself while facing him in the Premier League. 'Why was I so stupid?' It was crazy."

Son Heung-min has been playing consistently since his transfer to the Premier League. In particular, he has been strong against the 'Big 6' teams in the league. According to the media, Son Heung-min played in a total of 87 games against the big six teams, scoring 27 goals and nine assists. Nine goals for Arsenal, the most. Next came Manchester City (8 goals), Liverpool (7 goals), Manchester United (5 goals), and Chelsea (3 goals).
Klopp put Son Heung-min and Mane on the same line. He also said he was disappointed that Mane could not be recruited.
Klopp said "I think I should say sorry if there's a Dortmund fan here. Because I didn't recruit Sadio Manet from Dortmund. "You might excuse yourself at the time that 'I did it because I was young and naive, but in fact I wasn't that young or naive." "When I brought Mane to Liverpool, I realized that I had spent so much money on a player who could have brought him with so little money a few years ago," he added.
If Klopp had recruited Son Heung-min while coaching Dortmund or Liverpool, it is highly likely that he would have lifted the trophy. It is a regrettable part for Korean fans.
Son Heung-min is not playing for the championship team, but he is doing his job silently at Tottenham.
Son Heung-min has 11 goals and 10 assists in 38 official games this season. In the last league match, he saved his team's defeat by scoring a fantastic Panenka kick against Bournemouth.
The opposing team's coach also admired Son Heung-min's clever shot.
Bournemouth coach Iraola responded to Son's penalty shot scene, saying, `I think Son was very smart and he did a really good job`"Son Heung-min seemed to forget the idea of scoring a goal. It seemed to buy time and aim for goalkeeper Kepa to touch him." "Kepa eventually came into contact with Son Heung-min and the referee declared a penalty. We had to pay the price," he added.
