“I’m very disappointed” Why Son Heung-min apologized to Tottenham fans
“This is a very disappointing result. “We need to show better performance.”
Son Heung-min publicly apologized as captain for Tottenham Hotspur (England) losing to promoted team Ipswich Town. Tottenham lost 1-2 in a home game against Ipswich in the 11th round of the 2024-2025 English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 11th (Korean time).
Ipswich fell to the third division after the 2001-2002 season, but returned to the first division after 22 years. However, until the 10th round, they failed to achieve a single win with 5 draws and 5 losses, and Tottenham became the victim of their first win.
Son Heung-min said, “We didn’t score and easily gave up two goals,” and added, “Everyone should feel greater responsibility.”
Son Heung-min played as a left-wing striker against Ipswich and played all 90 minutes in the first and second halves. As Son Heung-min recovers from a hamstring injury, attention is paid to his performance in the 5th and 6th games of Group B of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asian Region 3rd Preliminary. Korea will play the 5th game against Kuwait at the Jaber Al Ahmed International Stadium in Kuwait City, Kuwait at 11pm on the 14th and the 6th game against Palestine at the Amman International Stadium in Amman on the 19th at 11pm.
National soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo met with reporters prior to national team training at Kuwait’s Abdullah Al Khalifa Stadium on the 11th and said, “Son Heung-min’s physical condition is important to the national team. I will never force you to do anything. “I will judge it as a way to use Son Heung-min efficiently,” he said.
