Son Heung-min started in an away match against Aston Villa at Birmingham Villa Park on the afternoon of the 16th (local time). I played 74 minutes. He showed a sprint with speed and a unique winding shot. He showed good performance and raised expectations for the Europa League final.
I met Son Heung-min after the game. "I'm getting in shape accordingly because next Wednesday's game (the Europa League final) is the most important thing." "It's been a long time since I started, and it melted well into today's game. I want to make it a positive part" he evaluated.

-I played 35 minutes in the last game, and today I played 74 minutes. I think I'm gradually improving my physical condition.
▶ Yes. It's important to fill the game time. Next Wednesday's game (the Europa League final) is the most important, so I'm improving my condition accordingly. I think I was able to adjust to the tempo of the game better than I thought today. I don't know if it's because I played last time. Considering that it's been a long time since I started, I've melted well into the game. I want to make it a positive part.
-Now there is an important game left. From the long experience, do you think you're feeling good about the team's preparation?
▶No, but first of all, the performance in the league is so bad that the players can feel intimidated and intimidated in a way. I think I'm trying to raise my confidence and atmosphere by telling the players a lot of good things about that. Since the players listen and respect each other so well, I think we will be able to prepare better for the final without any problems.
-As a captain, is there a specific way to boost the atmosphere with the players.
▶I think you're saying something better. I think they give more compliments to the players and encourage them to do better. In today's case, a lot of young players played, so I think it helped to boost the players' confidence by giving them a word of advice in that situation. The result of today's game was not good, but from today, we have to prepare only one game on Wednesday, so I think the players will be able to do well if we prepare well for that.
