[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Son Heung-min answered the stories circulating recently at a press conference.
Son Heung-min appeared at a press conference on the 18th (Korean time) ahead of the upcoming 2020/21 season UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg match against Wolfsberger.
At this meeting, Son Heung-min first answered questions from reporters about the recent sluggish renewal of the contract. He said,’It’s not fair to talk about the new contract now. I’m focused on my team and the game, and right now those two are the most important,” he said.
He continued, ‘I’m happy at Tottenham and I’m playing hard as a member of Tottenham. He said I don’t want to comment on the new contract right now.
The story of Son Heung-min’s new contract has been steadily coming out since last summer. When Son Heung-min signed with a new agent company, the news of his new contract gained momentum and even a specific weekly wage was mentioned.
However, as the result of negotiations did not come out while passing through the winter transfer market, the theory of transfer to Juventus was recently raised.
It was said that Juventus would sell three players to collect Son Heung-min’s transfer fee. However, Son Heung-min was reluctant to comment on the details of the contract renewal immediately.
In addition, Son Heung-min responded to rumors that coach Jose Mourinho had lost trust in the locker room.
In the UK, it has been pointed out that more and more players are dissatisfied with Mourinho’s football within the Tottenham team.
In response to this, Son Heung-min dismissed that’the rumor is just a rumor.’ He said,’Our locker room is fantastic. Of course, it only depends on the outcome. It’s sad to lose and happy to win. It is no different from any other team. The mood subsided as we received bad results for several games. But that doesn’t change the locker room itself. Everyone is happy and smiling and focuses on every game. It was a very bad rumor.
Next, Son Heung-min asked if he was tired of the tight schedule, “If you say you are not tired, it is a lie. We played too many games. But football is love. Football gives me happiness and I am always happy on the pitch.
He said,’Even though I’m tired, I do my best for the team and so are my colleagues. That’s a sense of responsibility to the team. Football never disappoints me. We love football even though we are tired. I didn’t get tired of soccer and fell in love with soccer. Tiredness never matters, he said.
