The British Metro reported on the 25th (Korea time) 'Brighton will play 'Guard of Honor' before the game for Tottenham, which beat Manchester United in the Europa League final this week' Guard of Honor is a kind of ceremony in which the opposing team stands in line for the winning team and applauds them.
Tottenham won the UEFA Europa League on the 22nd by beating Manchester United. Tottenham, led by manager Enze Postecoglou, won with Brennan Johnson's winning goal, lifted the trophy for the first time in 17 years.
Tottenham are set to play Brighton, the final game of the season. Tottenham can finish this season in a maximum of 14th place if they win the match to be held on the 26th. Currently, Tottenham ranks 17th in the English Premier League (EPL).
Before the start of this match, Brighton players are expected to congratulate the winning team, Tottenham. Brighton has a Japanese soccer player, Kaoru Mitoma. Mitoma's applause and celebration are expected to be directed to Son Heung-min, the captain of Korean soccer.
In the Premier League, Guard of Honor is generally only allowed to the winning team in the league, and Liverpool have been treated with such respect by Chelsea, Arsenal and Brighton.
However, Brighton coach Fabian Wheeler stressed that `success at the European Games must also be respected.'
"When a great club achieves a great achievement, as it did against Liverpool, it is always a positive thing," Wheeler said. "It is equally pleasing that the English club has achieved such a performance at the European tournament."
Then "I'm really proud of them. Of course, they deserve it. So we will do that," he added.

"He's a really good guy, and he deserves that kind of success," Wheeler said. "He overcomes it well under a lot of pressure and is a model for young directors as well." "I really like him. He insisted that he worked really hard to get to this place."
What impressed me in particular was that after the game against Arsenal in September, he said 'He lifts the trophy in his second year. He's a forward-looking man, and it's a very impressive point.'
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min is likely to miss the final Premier League match against Brighton. Because I haven't fully recovered from my foot injury yet. Coach Postecoglou said in an interview ahead of the game that Son Heung-min and Romero cannot play in the final match.
