Son Heung-min is better even after leaving Tottenham. There was a special official in the background.
Son Heung-min ended his 10-year career in the English Premier League (EPL) and Tottenham last summer and left for the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS). He can come down in his prime, but fans were also surprised when he headed to the United States, still one of the leading strikers on the EPL stage. Son Heung-min left the European stage for the country of 'SOCCER' after persistent courtship by LA FC.
The recruitment of Son Heung-min shook the U.S. from the beginning. Los Angeles FC President John Thorrington said `Son Heung-min's uniform is the best-selling sports uniform in the world.' Son Heung-min's marketing is also a box office hit. The performance also surprised everyone. Immediately after joining LA FC, he became an ace, forming a 'Heungbu Duo' with Dennis Buanga and playing as the best striker on the U.S. stage. Son Heung-min, who scored nine goals in 10 games, immediately entered the MLS Cup playoffs and is aiming for the top of the U.S. stage in his first season. He has already added to his performance again, scoring one goal and one assist in the second game against Austin in the Western Conference quarterfinals.

His value has already been proven by his salary. Global sports media The Athletic reported on player salary data released through the MLS Players Association, which reported that Son is earning the second highest salary among MLS players. At around 11.15 million dollars (about 16 billion won), this is almost unrivaled annual salary except for Lionel Messi. It seems that it was a recruitment that guaranteed the highest transfer fee and the highest annual salary in MLS history.
When he left the English Premier League (EPL), there were many concerns. Son Heung-min's final season at Tottenham was actually a bit disappointing. He still recorded excellent figures in the English Premier League (EPL) with 11 goals and 11 assists in 46 games, but his actual influence on the game fell. There were not a few injuries, and it is also true that they have been sluggish than their performances. Some British media pointed out that Son Heung-min suffered from minor injuries due to exhaustion and showed below-normal performance.

However, it was a complete reversal of this performance. And underneath that, LAFC's special management was being carried out. The Pitchside US of the United States shed light on Son Heung-min's secret to performance, saying on the 7th (Korea time) 'How LA FC maintains Son Heung-min's best performance'.
It was Connor Spencer, an LAFC nutritionist, who revealed this. Spencer says "When someone like Son Heung-min comes, the first question I ask is 'How have you been doing?'It's like the routine he's been doing, the food he eats after the game, the preparation process. I keep this in a 'secret note'. The next step is supported by that."
He also explained Son Heung-min's meal himself. He said "Pancakes and syrup are high in carbohydrates and delicious. The same goes for juice, rice, and banana bread. The goal is to stock up on energy storage so players can go all out the next dayHe explained that Son Heung-min can make fast explosive power and sprint easier through carbohydrate-oriented meals. Also "When the players go home, we work with them on planning, cooking and implementing macros as real food. It's like rice and chicken, salmon and pasta. Especially for players who have family," he added.

Even after leaving Tottenham, Son Heung-min was under the best management at LA FC. Thanks to the secret note, I am maintaining my routine and diet at Tottenham. The foundation for continuing the best performance in the future will be steadily laid within the club.
