A journalist claimed that Tottenham Hotspur Captain Son Heung-min (31) has a dream of being “the best in the world” in his heart. “Spurs Web” reported on the 25th (Korean time) that “journalist Paul Brown once told him he wanted to receive a Ballon d’Or.”
The Ballon d’Or is the most prestigious award in the world for a soccer player. French football magazine France Football hosts an award ceremony every year. Winners are selected through votes from reporters from around the world. First place votes are six points, second place votes are four points, third place votes are three points, fourth place votes are two points, and fifth place votes are one point.
Son ranked 11th at the 2022 Ballon d’Or Awards. He became the first Asian player to break the top 20 since becoming the top scorer in the Premier League during the 2021-2022 season. It is already a historic feat in itself, but Son was not satisfied.
Son has taken steps forward as Tottenham’s captain this season. Give Me Sports said Son will take on far more responsibility. After Harry Kane left, he performed well as a center forward. Son handled the added pressure well. He also performed well as a captain and penalty kicker.
Brown said, “(His performance) is not surprising. He remains the same as Kane. As a captain, I have greater responsibility. Son is always respected in the locker room.”
“Son Heung-min is a very driven and ambitious player. I know him well because I once said in an interview that I want to ride the Ballon d’Or,” he said, stressing that he is by no means a satisfactory player at an appropriate level. 메이저 토토사이트
Brown said, “Son gives positive energy to people around him. He is cheerful and has a lot of laughter. My colleagues highly appreciate that.” He praised his performance as well as his personality.
Son had 11 goals and four assists through the 18th round of the Premier League. Give Me Sports expressed concern that if Son participates in the Asian Cup in January, Tottenham will experience great difficulties.
