Tottenham won 3-1 in the 31st round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Southampton in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 6th (local time). Tottenham, which won, will play Frankfurt in the first leg of the Europa League (UEL) quarterfinals on the 10th.
After the game, I met Son Heung-min in the mixed zone. "Today's game was not easy, but it was very helpful to get a good result in this process," he said. "Now the most important game is coming up. I will focus my whole mind and body on the game."

-All the focus is on Thursday's match against Frankfurt. It was a complete victory in the match ahead of this. I think it will be a good influence on the team.
▶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.
I 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 condition on the game.
-The goals that came out today came from the form that coach NG pursues. Did he get more aggressive?
▶The coach also stressed to the players that we should continue to play the soccer we want to do.
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. Whether it's 100 times or 101 times, the director tells us that we have to try the same thing over and over until it breaks.
I think the things that the players performed well in today's game made goals and produced good results.
-Is Thursday's match against Frankfurt coming as a burden or a challenge?
▶I think it's most important to be humble and prepare well for the game under good tension. It could be a pressure. It could be a bit tense. The game should not be affected by those things. I always try to play with a good mind, a good mind, and a good mind. Also, as much as we play our first game at home, I think we will be able to bring the results we want.
-10 goals-10 assists in the fourth league are just around the corner.
▶I've scored so many goals so far and I'm trying to keep scoring goals. I don't think those are things that I need to do better for me. It's definitely not that kind of condition.
I think it makes me think more about how I can do better for the team and how I can help the team. If I work hard in my position and show good performance, I think those things (records) follow naturally, so I don't think that's a priority for me at all.
Even if it doesn't record, I can always say with pride what I've always done hard for myself. I don't have much control over those things, but I think 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 the Breiner recently said he would leave Manchester City. As a close player, I think you must have felt a lot.
▶It's very sad that a legend, a player who really made a mark in the soccer world, leaves the Premier League. I think being able to leave while being applauded when someone leaves like this is something that deserves tremendous respect. I'm so proud of him as a friend and also as someone who plays soccer together, and I wish him all the best for his future and his family.
I will always support you so that better things will always be next to you in the future.
