The Korean national football team faced Japan in the final of the men’s football tournament at the Hangzhou Huanglong Sports Center Stadium on the 7th.
They achieved a valuable result against their archrivals Japan, securing their third consecutive Asian Games victory.
On the same day as the Asian Games final, Son Heung-min also had a match with Tottenham Hotspur. He started in the away game against Luton Town in the 8th round of the 23-24 season of the English Premier League, held at Kenilworth Road in Luton, England.
Despite being at a numerical disadvantage due to Eve Besuma’s red card, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Luton Town 1-0, maintaining their unbeaten record of 8 games at the start of the season with 6 wins, 2 draws, and 20 points, placing them at the top of the league.
After the game, it was revealed that Son Heung-min, who met with the media in the mixed zone, was curious about the results of the junior players who played in the Asian Games final.
This was revealed in an interview with “Sports Chosun”. According to the media, after the game against Luton Town, Son Heung-min tried to immediately check the results of the Asian Games final in the locker room.
However, the mobile phone reception was poor in the Luton Town locker room, and they couldn’t find out the result of the game.
Upon hearing the news of the Asian Games gold medal from the reporters, Son Heung-min smiled widely and asked, “What was the score?” When the reporters informed him that they won 2-1 and made a comeback, Son Heung-min couldn’t hide his joy.
He said, “I congratulate the football players who won the gold medal in the Asian Games for the third consecutive tournament. I watched the Asian Games with a trembling heart while in the UK. As a Korean citizen, I am extremely proud. I want to congratulate my teammates and juniors who won the gold medal.”
After completing the Premier League schedule, Son Heung-min will return to Korea for national team duty. The national team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will face Tunisia at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 13th, followed by a friendly match against Vietnam at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 17th.
