Japanese legend Honda Keisuke recognized Son Heung-min's skills.

Honda posted a short interview video on its personal SNS on the 19th. It was about selecting the best right foot, the best left foot, the best heading power, the best soccer intelligence, and the toughest player in Asia.

When asked about the player with the best right foot in Asia, Honda pondered for a moment, then replied, `Son Heung-min.' Considering the rivalry between Korea and Japan, the name Son Heung-min might not come out easily, but Son Heung-min was a powerful man who even Honda, a Japanese legend, had to admit.

Son Heung-min is the best right foot in Asia's history in the past. This is because there is no Asian player in history who has shown scoring ability as Son Heung-min. He scored 127 goals in the Premier League alone and became the first Asian player to win the EPL top scorer. It was possible because Son Heung-min's shooting ability was excellent. Son Heung-min is also outstanding in shooting with his left foot as well as his right foot. Son Heung-min's ability in both feet is the best in the world.

Honda answered each question really honestly. The question that can be seen was who is good at heading in Asia. Honda answered the question without hesitation, "I don't think of any player." In fact, it is also true that no player currently makes a name in Europe with a header in Asia.

Also, Honda asks the best football intelligence player in Asia "I'll pick myself. It's me who asked that question," he said, showing his still confidence. Honda doesn't have a team at the moment, and he's about to turn 40, but he hasn't officially announced his retirement yet. That's why it was an answer that could come out.

The player with the best left foot in Asia was Kubo Takefusa, a Japanese junior. The toughest player in Asia also mentioned the name of Japanese player Endo Wataru.
