'Son National' Son Heung-min (33)'s home debut match is imminent.
Son Heung-min will face San Diego FC at 11:45 a.m. on the 1st in the Major League Soccer (MLS) home game at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. After away trips to Chicago, New England and Dallas, he finally met his home fans at his home stadium in Los Angeles.
Local media in the U.S. are also paying keen attention. Ahead of the match, the U.S. Sports Illustrated wrote that Son Heung-min's Hollywood moment is imminent. The Korean superstar, who showed an impressive start in scoring, assists and penalty inducement in his first three games since his MLS debut, will finally be in front of LAFC's fans at home stadium on Sunday, it added.
Son Heung-min's LAFC has been undefeated in the last five games and has lost only two in the last 18 games. Son Heung-min recorded one win and two draws in the match after joining from Tottenham Hotspur after hitting more than $26 million, the highest transfer fee ever in MLS history.

A brilliant time continues for both Son Heung-min and LAFC. LAFC has been transformed into one of the most followed teams thanks to 'Sonsational Effects'. SI is' LAFC YouTube channel subscribers have increased by 70%, and followers have grown significantly on other social media platforms. For MLS, it has opened a completely new market, and Apple TV's MLS season pass ads have also begun to be exposed throughout Korea. Son Heung-min's uniform was counted as the best-selling product in North America in August, he added. Son Heung-min introduced Son's performance in detail, saying, 'He raised LAFC as a world-class brand in LA and was invited to throw an authentic strike at the LA Dodgers baseball game. The media re-evaluated Son's value and personality, saying, "'Son Heung-min actively communicates with the media unlike other stars who spent his prime in Europe, and is leading a rare surge in the club brand since Mexico's representative Carlos Vela joined in 2017.'
Son Heung-min was also surprised by the hot soccer fever he experienced in the United States and his popularity. "I didn't think soccer was the biggest sport, so I'm very surprised that people recognized me so much"It's been a very busy three weeks, but I'm here to play soccer. Very, very happy. The last three weeks have been an incredibly special time. But I'm here to win the game, to win the trophy"I didn't forget the mindset of my day job.
In an interview ahead of his first home game at BMO Stadium, Son said "Even the long journey time was good." I was able to talk to the players and these social interactions are really important to me." "I feel like it's been a year since my first home game in a month. I can't wait. The fans will be really, really good, and the stadium will be full. I can't wait to play on the ground again"I didn't hide my expectations.
The only goal of Son and his team is to win. In particular, victory is important and necessary in an important match against San Diego, a powerhouse who recently confirmed his advance to the playoffs.
LAFC, ranked fifth in the Western Conference, hopes to make the top four at the end of the season. I'm looking forward to Son Heung-min's big role in this process and the upcoming playoffs. Son Heung-min said, `I want to give joy, laughter, and happiness to the fans, and of course I want to show high quality soccer"I have a pleasant memory of winning the Europa League three months ago. I want to keep that feeling and keep going. Winning trophies for this club is why I'm here and the goal is..." he said with emphasis.
