England's To the Line & Back said on the 20th (Korea time) 'If anyone deserves the Europa League trophy, it will be our legend Son Heung-min'
Tottenham is set to play the Europa League final against Manchester United in Spain on the 22nd.
Tottenham lost to Aston Villa in the English Premier League last weekend. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou has strategically set up a starting list for the game.
It was practically a practice game ahead of the final because the Premier League ranking had already been abandoned. Some players, including Son Heung-min, improved their physical condition through this.
Son Heung-min started against Aston Villa for the first time since recovering from a foot injury. He played 74 minutes to regain his sense of action. After the game, Son Heung-min strengthened his resolve with his teammates ahead of the Europa League final.

Gold said "I could see part of what we liked in Son Heung-min. There weren't many, but there were scenes like running away from the players and hitting the halfway line"I've rarely seen that all season, which also means that the foot injury has affected me for quite a long time."
"Certainly, at some points, Son Heung-min looked like he could threaten any team, and if he can play that much, of course, he should start from the left wing or the 10th position."
With key players such as James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski absent, Son Heung-min's return in time for the most important game of the season is a great boost to coach Postecoglou and the team as a whole.
Coach Postecoglou said Son Heung-min's physical condition has risen enough to be able to start against Manchester United.
Of course, Son Heung-min has struggled both in form and physical strength this season. Even if the record itself is not bad, there is an evaluation that goal determination and sharpness are not as good as before. Nevertheless, he is foreshadowing his performance in the final as he showed his potential against Aston Villa.
