Tottenham is set to play AZ Alkmaar in the second round of the Europa League round of 16 at home on the 13th. In the first away game, he lost 0-1 due to an absurd own goal, and was in crisis. Ahead of the second round of the round of 16 to be held at home, Son said "This is the most important game this season. Defeat in the first leg will be a big wake-up call." "Nothing is more important than that," Son told Sports Chosun in an on-site interview after successfully earning a point at home. "I'll show you different sides in the second round. I will prepare with confidence, but not arrogance, and humility" expressed his determination.
With both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup challenges canceled, the Europa League trophy is the only hope that coach Angie Postecoglou will continue his syndrome of winning the second year at Tottenham. It is an opportunity that could not be more urgent for Son Heung-min, who has suffered from a trophy famine throughout his career. "Is there anything more important than that now? the most important game." "As we showed a really bad performance in the first game, we have to show a different performance in the second game." Players, fans, and everyone in the club should prepare well and play the second game. Obviously, I think we can go back as much as it's a home game"He made it clear that he would make it to the quarterfinals at home." "There is definitely confidence. In the end, we must humbly play so that this confidence does not become arrogance. The players should prepare better than any other game and play this game better." "What is really fortunate is that we have one more chance. It is important to make good use of these things. Everyone because you can't change the game on the strength of one or two people. Not only all the players, but the fans, the staff, and the club all have to put everything into that one game, thinking about how they can help the team members one by one."
