'Captain' Son Heung-min (Tottenham) expressed his desire to win the championship.
Tottenham, led by head coach Enze Postecoglou, will play the Europa League final against Manchester United in the 2024-2025 season at San Mames Barria in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time). Tottenham is aiming for its first championship in 17 years since the 2007-2008 League Cup.
At a press conference held at the Tottenham Hotspur Training Center in London on the 12th, Son Heung-min said, `The reason I stayed at Tottenham was because I wanted to do something that others could not do. You need all the pieces to make a puzzle. I think I got all the pieces right for making the puzzle. Looks like the last piece of the most important is missing. I think I've been wandering around for 10 years looking for that piece. I wish I could do the puzzle this time."
Son Heung-min wore Tottenham's uniform through the transfer window in the summer of 2015. In the meantime, he has played in the final twice. In the 2018-2019 season, he advanced to the final stage of the European Champions League (UCL). However, he lost to Liverpool and finished second. In the 2020-2021 season, he reached the final of the League Cup, but he knelt down to Manchester City.
He "I think there must be some lessons learned from the failure. It changed a lot from the players when they played the final. I think it will be important for me and experienced players to teach them such experiences now. It feels different. I really want to win, and I really want it more than anyone else. Many people are as eager to support me as I am. If we prepare well, I think we can achieve it"Every game is special to me. But I don't think this game is a chance to come back. All the focus must be on winning. He's very focused. I think we need to make our physical condition according to the game. I hope you don't regret it this time."

Son Heung-min recently rehabilitated from a foot injury. Fortunately, he returned ahead of the Europa League final. Son Heung-min said, `I think it's better how I return to the game well and prepare for the game than to talk about that now. I think it would be better to think about the future while thinking about only the good things rather than talking about bad things back.'
Meanwhile, about former teammate Harry Kane, who recently won the trophy at Bayern Munich (Germany), "I sent a text message to Kane, but I got a video call. I was also happy to see him happy. They are very close friends. As a colleague, I achieved a lot of things. I was really happy like a family thing. I think Tottenham will be able to produce good results if Kane supports them," he said.
