'Captain' Son Heung-min (Tottenham) came forward himself.

Tottenham, led by head coach Enze Postecoglou, will play the Europa League final against Manchester United (England) in the 2024-2025 season at San Mames Barria in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time). Tottenham aims to win the official tournament for the first time in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. At the same time, he is also aiming to qualify for the European Champions League (UCL) next season.

Son appeared at an official press conference ahead of the Europa League final and played for Tottenham for 10 years. He has never won a championship. Winning is going to be a very special, historic moment."




Son made his debut in Hamburg (Germany) in 2010. However, he has never tasted the joy of winning the championship in both the league and various competitions on the professional stage. He joined Tottenham through the transfer market in the summer of 2015, but he also finished second three times at Tottenham. Tottenham ranked second in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2016-2017 season, the UCL in the 2018-2019 season, and the Carabao Cup (League Cup) in the 2020-2021 season.

Son Heung-min said, `The situation our team is in right now is unacceptable. I had my worst season in the league, but I will change everything with the Europa League trophy." Tottenham ranks 17th among 20 teams with 11 wins, 5 draws and 21 losses (38 points) in the league this season. The situation is not good, with only one draw and five losses in the last six EPL games. He said "We've done outstandingly the last few seasons. I missed something. Lifting the Europa League trophy can change your mentality. History can also be rewritten. He also said he could continue to compete for the next trophy.

What we believe is Son Heung-min. He started for the first time since returning from injury. Son Heung-min emerged in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt (Germany) on April 11. Since then, he has not played in a total of seven games, including four EPL games and three Europa League games. In the EPL home game against Crystal Palace on the 11th, he was substituted in the 13th minute of the second half and made his return. He started the match against Aston Villa on the 17th and was replaced by Dominic Solanke in the 29th minute of the second half.

Local media expected Son Heung-min to start. British media Sports Mall said Son Heung-min, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr, Destiny Udogi, Mickey van the Pen, Christian Romero, Pedro Porro and Guglielmo Vicario are expected to start.

Going one step further, British Telegraph reporter Matt Roe said, `Tottenham is better without Son Heung-min, but we must start him in the final. Coach Postecoglou doesn't have many big decisions ahead of the final, but one of them is to give Son a chance to become a legend. In terms of recent performance and data, Hishalisson is pressuring Son Heung-min for his position. However, he should start the final against Manchester United and give him a chance to be on the club's trophy-winning legend list.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min called Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), who played as a Sonke duo', shortly after winning the German Bundesliga and said, `Everyone knows that Kane is my best partner. It was a great honor to play with Kane. After Kane won for the first time we had a conversation about his trophy. Kane will be Tottenham's biggest fan, and I will focus on the game as I am."
