'Captain' Son Heung-min (Tottenham) set another milestone.
Son Heung-min started in the 31st round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Southampton in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 6th (Korea time). He played 57 minutes in the 13th minute of the first half, serving as the starting point for Brennan Johnson's first goal.
Johnson scored multiple goals in the 42nd minute. Tottenham escaped from a winless EPL game (1 draw and 3 losses) for four consecutive games by tying Matistel's penalty goal just before the end of the second half.
Son Heung-min played 57 minutes in preparation for the first round of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt (Germany) on the 11th. On the same day, he was declared to play 450 games in Tottenham. Son Heung-min, who has already beaten Hugo Lloris (447 games), is ranked seventh in the Tottenham club's all-time rankings.
He is expected to soon beat Ted DeChiburn (452 games), who is ranked sixth. Glenn Hoddle (490 games) came in fifth and Cyril Knowles (506 games) came in fourth. Son Heung-min is also ranked first in Tottenham's all-time record of help.
England's 『Football London" scored six points with the evaluation that"Son Heung-min was replaced just before the hour mark considering the match against Frankfurt."

Son Heung-min said in an interview after the game 'Mix Zone"I thought it was very important to go into a good atmosphere and prepare for the game ahead of the most important game." "Today's game was not easy, but I think the good results in this process helped me greatly."
And "We finished with a good game and a good result, but Thursday's game, which I thought was the most important from this week, is coming up. That's why I'm focusing my whole mind and body on the game," he stressed.
Son Heung-min also stressed to the players that the coach should continue to play the soccer we want to play. When you break a rock, it doesn't break once or twice. Likewise, the opponent's defense doesn't break down just because we played what we wanted once or twice. The director told me that I have to keep trying the same thing until I break it, whether it's 100 or 101. I think the things that the players performed well in today's game scored goals and produced good results."
On the match against Frankfurt "I think it will be most important to prepare well for the game with humility and good tension. It could be a pressure. It could also be a tension. But the game should not be affected by those things again. I always try to play with a good mind, a good mind, and a good mind. I think we can bring the results we want as much as we play the first game at home."

It was regrettable that there was no offensive point on this day. Son has seven goals and nine assists in this season's EPL. Including the Europa League (UEL, 3 goals and 2 assists), the FA Cup (one assist), and the League Cup (one goal), he scored 11 goals and 12 assists in official matches.
When I asked if there was not much time left until the EPL '10-10'I've scored so many goals so far and I'm trying to keep scoring goals, but I don't think those are things that I need to do much better. It's definitely not that kind of conditioning factor. "It makes me think more about how I can do better for the team and how I can help the team more. If I work hard in my position and show good performance, I think those things (records) follow naturally, so that's not a priority for me at all."
He also said, `Even if the record doesn't work, I can always speak with pride about the things I've always worked hard for. I don't really control those things, but if I prepare harder and better for the roles I have to play for the team as a team, those things will naturally follow."

Kevin De Bruyne, who is one year older than Son Heung-min, born in 1992, will eventually break up with Manchester City. Manchester City said on its website on the 4th that it will say goodbye to The Bruyne as his contract with The Bruyne expired this summer. "It will mark the end of a spectacular decade with our club."
The Bruyne also said on his SNS, "'It will be my last few months as a Manchester City player' 'This city, the club, the fans gave me everything, this will always be home to me. Every story has an end, but this story has been the best chapter of my life.'
The Bruyne is Son's best friend. He said "It's very sad that a legend, a player who really made a mark in the world of football, leaves the Premier League. When someone leaves like this, being able to leave while being applauded is a part that needs to be greatly respected."
Son went on to say, `I'm so proud of what he has done, as a friend and also as a player who plays soccer together, and I wish him great luck for his future and his family in the future. I will always support you for better things to always be next to you in the future, he said with a smile.
