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. Coach Frank said, `Son Heung-min will start wearing the captain's armband. It may or may not be the final game. The club will treat him and give him an opportunity to be respected." Son started on the most familiar left wing. Matisse Tell and Brennan Johnson worked together up front. Soul mate Ben Davies stepped up at left fullback.
