Son Heung-min, captain of the Korean national soccer team, is still continuing his forced march schedule even after playing his last match in the English professional soccer Premier League (EPL).
Son Heung-min headed to Australia less than three hours after playing full-time in the away game against Sheffield United in the '2023-2024 EPL final round 38' on the 20th (Korean time).
At around 5 am on this day, Tottenham shared a video of players boarding a plane on their official social networking service (SNS). Son Heung-min, who appears at the beginning of the video, boarded the plane with a tired face.
Son Heung-min, without even a single day of rest even after the league ended, boarded a plane to Australia for the friendly match between Tottenham and Newcastle United to be held in Melbourne, Australia on the 22nd.
Because the flight time is about 20 hours, Son Heung-min has to go to the game right away without having time to adjust to the jet lag.
Even after the game against Newcastle, his A match schedule remains.
The Korean national soccer team is preparing for the second round of the Asian region qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup next month. They will play an away game in Singapore on June 6th and a home game against China on the 11th. After this, Tottenham is scheduled to visit Japan on a pre-season tour this summer, and on August 3, they will visit Korea again at the invitation of the '2024 Coupang Play Series' to play a match with Kim Min-jae's team, Bayern Munich. Son Heung-min was selected for the '2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup' during this season and had to play a total of 6 games from the group stage to the semifinals. Despite the gap due to the Asian Cup, Son Heung-min achieved 10 EPL goals and 10 assists for the third time in his career, becoming the first Asian player this season and the sixth overall. Even though the league has concluded, Son Heung-min's game schedule is still being pushed forward, raising concerns about his condition. 토토사이트
