Son Heung-min: We may change history this year and hope to win the UEFA Cup championship

May 16th According to TNTSports, Son Heung-min talked about the current situation of the team in an interview recently.

Son Heung-min said that winning the Europa League will be the "perfect puzzle" of his Tottenham Hotspur career. The South Korean star has not won any trophy since joining Tottenham in 2015, and the club's last major championship dates back to 2008. Despite their poor performance in the Premier League this season, they still have a chance to end this awkward record in the European arena.

Son Heung-min believes that what he lacks in his ten years at Tottenham is a trophy. He told TNT Sports: "The decade has been wonderful, but obviously a piece of puzzle is missing, and it's only one piece away from the perfect picture. I hope to achieve this goal next Wednesday. Teammates want to win something for me, I can feel their support, and I'm very grateful. But for me, it's not for myself, but for the team, the staff and the fans."

Looking back at the club, the 32-year-old said: "Time flies quickly, and frankly, I stay here because I want to win, because no one has done that since I joined. This year, we may change that history."

Tottenham struggled in the domestic league and is currently ranked 17th in the Premier League, only one more than the relegation zone. They have lost 20 games this season after losing to Crystal Palace over the weekend, their most loss record in the Premier League in a single season. It was also a disappointing season for Son Heung-min personally, who scored only seven goals in the league and received criticism from some fans. Son Heung-min admitted it was a "very difficult season", but said he would not be affected by outside noise.

In response, Son Heung-min said: "I know my strength. I have been here for ten years and have been very stable. People can say it casually, but they can't see my efforts and growth. I still believe that I have the strength and have no doubts about it."

He also mentioned that due to the younger team, the players' mood fluctuations are large, but this also means that they have the ability to quickly turn the situation around. Speaking about this, Son Heung-min said: "Because we have a young team, they can rebound quickly if they perform well. Sometimes it's hard for me to control this emotion, but I always try to help the team."
