Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur) met Korean fans with a brighter look than ever.

Son returned to Korea via Incheon International Airport on Monday afternoon. He maintained a bright look while greeting some 100 fans who visited his hometown with a bright smile, perhaps because he lifted the trophy at a major championship 15 years after his debut as a pro.온라인카지노

On the day, Son dressed up in a jean jacket and black bottoms that go well with cool weather. When he saw fans crowded at the airport, he greeted them with greetings, and the fans also delivered presents and letters to welcome him back after winning the title. However, considering safety concerns, Son rushed to leave the airport in a car waiting outside the arrival hall.

Son Heung-min has finally achieved victory. Since his debut with Hamburg in the German Bundesliga in 2010, he has played for prestigious clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham, but has never won a trophy. He suffered from jinx as he only recorded second place three times at Tottenham Hotspur in 10 years. As he had never won a title at the national team, he had high expectations for the upcoming Europa League.

Although Son was not the main character, he was not the main character. Due to his foot injury, he played in the final game as a substitute rather than a starter. However, Son Heung-min has been in the spotlight since the moment the championship was decided, as he is not unaware of the pain of his constant dedication to Tottenham for 10 years.

Son Heung-min is enjoying the joy of winning the championship more than anyone else. He has not slept for two days since he has released his 15-year-old professional regret. He never lets go of the trophy he desperately wanted. When he returned to London as well as the stadium where the award ceremony took place, he always held the trophy and smiled brightly.

It is a season that Son will never forget. He said, "I have been waiting for this moment, and I finally achieved it. I am so happy that I won here. My team has achieved a championship that no one has achieved in 17 years. I am so proud of my current team."

"I've said many times that I want to come this far, but it's really special. Moreover, I'm so happy that I got lucky when I was the captain. I'm so happy," he said with a smile.

Tottenham also made Son an official legend as their captain for this season. "He lifted the European Championship trophy. He joined the elite Tottenham captaincy group. I officially admit it as a legend of Tottenham."

Son Heung-min's career, including the first Korean to win a European match, Tottenham's first Europa League trophy in 41 years, and becoming an official legend, will now go beyond simple individual achievements and remain a history of Tottenham and Korean soccer.

The trophy that Son Heung-min lifted is not just a silver cup, but a symbol of countless efforts, dedication, and perseverance that he endured until the end. From now on, Son deserves to be called a legend without any modifiers.

Son Heung-min, who will take a break in Korea, will complete his national soccer team's schedule next week. The Korean national soccer team, led by Coach Hong Myung-bo, will embark on an away trip to Iraq on June 2. It will hold its ninth match against Iraq for the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup North-China. Afterwards, it will return to Korea and conclude the third qualifying round with a match against Kuwait on June 10.

Korea's advance to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time is over the nine-point level. Currently, Korea is leading Group B with four wins, four draws and 16 points, and if it only adds one point from the remaining two consecutive games, it will secure the second place in the group and secure a ticket to the finals.

Coach Hong Myung-bo did not leave out Son Heung-min, the captain and ace. As for Son Heung-min, who was involved in injuries and privacy issues, he said, "I'm not involved in the outside of the game," adding, "I've also told him that I can play enough games."

Son has scored 51 goals in 133 A-match games. If he participates in the match against Iraq after recovering from his injury, he will beat Lee Woon-jae to rank third overall in the number of appearances he has played so far. He will continue his challenge to reach 56 goals, which Cha holds, as he ranks second in overall goal tally.
