“Captain Son! Get more handsome, score more goals…Let’s win the Asian Cup!”

“The Tottenham squad delivered interesting New Year’s greetings to Son Heung-min and Destiny Udogi,” Britain’s Talk Sports said on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time). “The players who received a warm welcome in 2024 were Son Heung-min and Udogi. Son Heung-min may have already left the team, but he could not avoid some jokes from his teammates.”

According to the media, Pedro Porro, who plays as a right-back, replied on social media to Son Heung-min, “Be more handsome, score more goals, and become the champion of the Asian Cup. That’s okay, right?”

Son Heung-min is scheduled to participate in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, which will open in Qatar on Jan. 12. For the time being, he will leave his team Tottenham and conquer the top of Asia as the captain of the Korean national team. Son plans to join Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where his national team’s training camp is located, on the 2nd. 무료 슬롯

The Korean team has not won the title since 1956 and 1960, when the first and second Asian Cup events were held. Son will play a key role in helping the team win the Asian Cup title for the first time in 64 years. He is displaying strong momentum. Having shown sluggish performance last season, Son has successfully revived this season and played as the best ace in his team. Tie for second in scoring with 12 goals and five assists, Son finished the first half by placing Tottenham fifth.

Like Son Heung-min, Porro, who is playing as a built-in starting right back under coach Anji Postecoglou this season, hoped that Son would score more goals. It is natural because the final performance of the season may vary depending on the performance of Son Heung-min, who is a clear fixer.

He also wished Korea a victory at the Asian Cup, Korea’s long-cherished dream, and offered words of blessing. Son will be away for up to a month and a half until early February when the Asian Cup ends. He will not be allowed to play in up to six matches, including the FA Cup against Burnley and the match against Manchester United. Son could have hoped for an early return as he occupies most of Tottenham’s power, but he showed more hope for the championship.

Fans reacted positively to his cheerful words, saying, “It’s okay. Sonny is cuter than handsome,” “He is already handsome enough,” and “He will become an Asian Cup champion.” According to Talk Sports, Udogi received pleasant words from goalkeepers Eric Dier and Guglielmo Vicario.

“I don’t want to be suspended anymore for sending off,” Dyer said to Udogi, while Vicario posted a smiling emoji, saying, “I want to spend more time in the gym.” Udogi had already missed two games in the first half alone, with five yellow cards and one red card.

Emerson Royal joked to Hissarlisson, who is also a teammate of Brazil’s national team, “I want you to change your hairstyle,” while Brian Hill told Foro that he would want to return to Tottenham with the trophy after taking part in Euro 2024 and lifting the trophy.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min delivered a New Year’s greeting to his soccer fans after the match against Bournemouth, saying, “I ended my last game of 2023 happily thanks to you all. It’s 2024 in Korea and it’s still 2023 in the U.K., but thank you for making it a special and happy 2023.”

“Thanks to your love and support throughout this year, I was able to play happy soccer and make you happy and laugh for a while because of that happy soccer, that was my biggest happiness in 2023,” he said. “I hope this happiness will be with me and all of you in 2024 as well! Happy New Year.”
