[인터풋볼] Reporter Shin Dong-hoon = Heung-min Son (28, Tottenham)’s unrivaled performance was praised by the European media as the best player in 2020.
2020 was Son Heung-min’s best year. Last season, Son Heung-min succeeded in joining the 10-10 club for the first time in Asia, scoring 11 goals and 11 assists in 30 matches in the English Premierless (EPL) despite the season interruption due to Corona 19. Tottenham, who was placed in the middle of the ranks amid Son Heung-min’s performance, reached the final 6th place and confirmed to advance to the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League (UEL).
His performance this season was even greater. Son Heung-min scored 11 goals and 4 assists in 14 EPL matches, and succeeded in 3 goals and 3 assists by playing 7 games including qualifying at UEL. In particular, he showed excellent compatibility with Harry Kane and reigned as the best attack duo in Europe beyond the EPL. Son Heung-min and Kane jointly scored 12 goals this season, narrowing the gap from Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton’s highest record (13 goals) in the category to one goal.
In this way, Son Heung-min’s explosive performance continued to be highly praised in Europe. Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville of UK’Sky Sports’ put Son Heung-min in the position of the 2020 EPL Team of the Year’s left striker, and British ’90min’ selected Son Heung-min as the top 10 left-handed strikers in the world class. Global media’Onefootball’ selected Son Heung-min along with Neymar and Mohamed Salah as the top 3 soccer players born in 1992.
Son Heung-min’s name could also be found at an awards ceremony organized by the FIFA. Son Heung-min was included in the final 55 of the FIFA and FIFPRO World Best Eleven nominations. He was the only Asian and was on the list for the second year in a row. After a 70m dribble last December, he was honored with the Puskas Award at the’The Best FIFA Football Awards’ with his successful goal, which overcame five Burnley defenders.
The goal against Burnley was chosen as the goal of the EPL all season in the 2019-20 season and the goal of the year by the British public broadcaster’BBC’. It was ranked 22nd among the best male soccer players in the world in 2020 by the British’Guardian’ and was selected as the 4th best player in the 2020 EPL by the British’Sport Kid’.
Son Heung-min wore a Tottenham uniform and played 251 matches, scoring 99 goals and 54 assists. There are only one goal left until Tottenham’s 100th goal. Son Heung-min, who is on the verge of winning, is expected to pour everything into lifting the first club team trophy in his career with a meaningful record this season.
