Son Heung-min, who took care of three days… unfolds the’K’ ceremony

“It shined.” British football London evaluated Son Heung-min (29), who transformed into a “special assistant” in the Burnley game on the 1st (Korean time).

Son Heung-min recorded two assists in the home game of Burnley in Round 26 of the English Premier League in the 2020-21 season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. It is League 7 and 8 help (seasons 14 and 15). This is the first time Son Heung-min recorded a multi-help in this season’s league. In addition, with a total of 18 goals and 15 assists in the season (33 attack points), he broke the record for the most attack points in a season.

Tottenham also won 4-0 and escaped from a second straight victory. Tottenham, who climbed to 8th place (39 points), cut the difference between 4th place West Ham United (45 points) and 6 points. Tottenham’s goal is to enter the 4th place to receive qualifications for the European Champions League next season.

Burnley is the opponent of Wonder Goal, scored after Son Heung-min dribbling 70m in December 2019. This goal also won the International Football Federation (FIFA) Pushka Award. Son Heung-min has been recording attack points (2 goals and 3 assists) in 3 consecutive games. Burnley has been in close defense since the beginning of the game. Son Heung-min focused on a clever pass play rather than an unreasonable breakthrough.

In the 2nd minute of the first half, Son Heung-min made a cross pass from the left side of the opponent’s side to the goal, destroying the Burnley defense at once. Gareth Bale rushed and shook the net with his right foot. In the 10th minute of the second half leading 3-0, Son Heung-min grabbed the ball near the left half line and ran. Five Burnley defenders, recalling the humiliation of ’70m Wondergol’, surrounded him in no time. At that moment, Son Heung-min gave the ball to Bale, who was a no-mark to the right of the penalty box. Bale shook the net again with a left-footed shot.

Son Heung-min played full-time, stabbing a sharp pass at Harry Kane, Eric Lamela, and others, creating several goals. Football London praised him, “If his teammates had good goal determination, Son Heung-min would have scored a lot more assists.” The Premier League Secretariat selected Son Heung-min as the’King of the Match’. It was selected by online fan vote, and Son Heung-min received 39.3% of the 23,896 votes.

Son Heung-min also held a meaningful ceremony on the third day. Immediately after helping Veil’s opening goal, Son Heung-min made the letters’K’ with both fingers and’W’ for the veil. After the game, Son Heung-min explained, “Korea’s’K’.” Bale is from Wales.

Son Heung-min started the’Alphabet Ceremony’ instead of the previous’Camera Ceremony (a ceremony that makes a camera lens shape with both hands after scoring)’ from last month’s 19th Europa League round of 32 1st game Wolfsberger (4-1 win). After breaking the opening goal with the help of veil, he made a’W’ with his fingers. It was to keep the promise I made to a Korean boy with leukemia I met in 2018. Son Heung-min said, “Last (2018 Russia) World Cup was over and through a campaign (to that child’s fan) I was sorry for not being able to do the ceremony. (This time) The foundation contacted me that the ceremony was well delivered to children. “I am grateful that I can give you hope.”
