Son Heung-min never wanted to be a superstar.

On the 23rd (KST), Son Heung-min gave an interview to YouTube's Men in Blazers. It was a short 12-minute interview, but it gave us a glimpse into his mindset as a captain and as a player.

When asked what kind of captain he would like to be, Son said, "First of all, I'm very grateful to him (coach Enze Postecoglou). I don't want to be special as a captain. I don't want to look cool or be special. I don't want to wear the captain's armband. I just want to set a good example," he said of his ideal captain's role.

One of the reasons Son wants to set a good example is because the team is young. Mickey van der Penn, Destiny Udoji, and Pape Matasar, who have been the mainstays of the team since this season, were all born in the 2000s. They haven't had much first-team experience yet, so they probably don't fully understand how to play for a big club and in the big leagues.

Heung-min wanted to set an example for those young players. "We have a lot of young players in the squad," he said. If you're a young player, you follow the behavior of the team captain. It's important to me that the captain has a good image in the club, and the younger players will follow his way of doing things." 카지노

In fact, Son has been one of the players who has helped the likes of Pape and van der Vaart settle in at Tottenham the most. Both Pape and Van der Vaart have spoken of their gratitude to him. The extent to which Son cares about his players has been evident throughout this season.

Whether it was when he was struggling or when van der Penn scored his debut goal, he brought them to the front of the crowd and made sure they received plenty of praise.

It's a habit he may have picked up from the national team first. Son Heung-min has been leading the national team since 2018 and has been trying to pass on his experience to the younger players. "There are a lot of young players in the national team, and I share my experience with them so they can feel it indirectly," he said during the A-Match call-up last November.

"There are players and people with good character in the club and national team, which makes the captain's job easier. I think leadership is popular because of the players. I'm grateful to the players," he said, showing his humility.
