Tottenham and Newcastle finished the two games of '2025 Coupang Play Series' held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 3rd with a score of 1 to 1.
All attention was focused on Son Heung-min before the game. Son Heung-min, who was quiet despite countless 'New Year's Day', opened his mouth in front of his home country's fans. Son Heung-min revealed his future course at an official press conference held at TWO IFC in Yeouido, Seoul on the 2nd. "I don't think it was an easy decision. This summer, I decided to leave the team (Tottenham). I felt like I had to say something about this."
Son Heung-min "It was one of the most difficult decisions to make while playing soccer. I'm also proud of being in a team for 10 years while playing soccer. "I want to start over with a new motivation in a new environment. When I first came here 10 years ago, I was a boy who was not good at English. Now I'm leaving because I'm a man. I think there's a good time to say goodbye, too. It's hard, but I'm leaving at a good time. I hope everyone understands this."
Son Heung-min was listed in the starting lineup as Frank predicted. Son Heung-min performed well with his left wing until he was replaced in the 18th minute of the second half. While Son Heung-min's replacement sign came out, coach Frank, the players sitting on the bench, and the staff all stood up and applauded. The fans were all over the place, too. Everyone stood up and shared the hero's last. All 22 players on the ground, not only Tottenham but Newcastle players, applauded. Everyone high-fived and congratulated Son Heung-min on his last day. Son Heung-min played his last role by handing over the captain's armband to Ben Davies.
Amid applause from fans, Son moved to the bench and hugged the players. Son Heung-min especially hugged Yang Min-hyuk for a long time. In the end, tears burst. Son Heung-min, sitting on the bench, cried for a long time. It was the last time Son Heung-min wore a Tottenham uniform.
After Son Heung-min's last game at Tottenham, the new divinity who will enjoy the England stage in the future took the field one after another. Park Seung-soo in the 31st minute of the second half and Yang Min-hyuk in the 41st minute of the second half.
Park Seung-soo stepped on the England stage this summer and Yang Min-hyuk last December. Park Seung-soo, who broke the youngest record in the K League, wore a Newcastle uniform. Yang Min-hyuk, the best hit product in the K-League last season, moved to Tottenham. Park Seung-soo made his unofficial debut against Team K League on the 30th of last month. Yang Min-hyuk is trying for a full season at Tottenham after coming off a loan at Queens Park Rangers. He made his first team debut for Tottenham against Luton Town last time out.
The two players made active moves side by side. Park Seung-soo showed off his unique smooth dribbling with his left wing. He also showed a sharp breakthrough ability against Tottenham after the last team's K-League match. The same was true of Yang Min-hyuk. He seized his chance with a reckless move. It was a pity that he couldn't even shoot from the solo chance he faced in the counterattack. However, the two players showed the future of Korean soccer. That's how post Son Heung-min appeared.
