Fans' interest in European football is expected to be hotter than ever as national players

Kim Min-jae and Lee Kang-in moved to prestigious Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a strong team in the French League 1, respectively in the summer transfer market.

Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham) is at the center. Son Heung-min, who plays in the English Premier League (EPL), will play the opening game of the 2023-2024 season against Brentford on the 13th. Under the new coach Enje Postecoglou, he sweated during the preseason and was ready to play.

◆ I overcame my injury

Last season was a moment I didn't want to remember. Son Heung-min played with injuries throughout the season. He also wore a mask until the middle of the season due to an orbital fracture. The sports hernia then bothered him. After enduring the pain and completing the season, he underwent surgery late. Son Heung-min confessed, "Every moment was pain." He scored 10 league goals in injury, scoring double-digit EPL goals for 7 consecutive seasons, and breaking his 100th EPL goal. However, he failed to show an explosive appearance.

I've had enough rest. He played only one of the two A matches in June. He also played for about 20 minutes. After recovering from his physical condition in Korea, he immediately moved to Australia, where his team Tottenham Hotspur pre-season training camp, not England. Postecoglou was considerate to make a full recovery.

He failed to score an offensive point during the preseason, but gradually improved his condition. In a friendly match against Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) on the 6th, he was involved in two goals for 78 minutes. I'm ready to play the season in good health. He also showed off his perfect teamwork with "best friend" Harry Kane. Son Heung-min said, "I want to show that last season was not what many fans know about me. "I wasn't lucky in six seasons," he said.

◆ Memories of the Golden Boot

Postecoglou, who took over this summer, boasts excellent leadership, leading Celtic (Scotland) last season and winning the Domestic Treble (three gold medals in Korea). Also, I prefer attacking soccer. Celtic have scored more than 100 goals in the league in the past two seasons. Tottenham are definitely different from before. The number of shots clearly increased in pre-season friendly matches. Son Heung-min, who had a lot of defensive pressure under former head coach Antonio Conte, was also deployed forward to look at opportunities to attack.

Some predict that he will be able to return to what he was when he won the Golden Boot (scoring king). The Boot Room, a British media outlet, said, "Son Heung-min can perform the same as when he was the top scorer again in the new season," adding, "The first reason is manager Postecoglou's aggressive tactics." The second is the joining of James Madison, who can help Son Heung-min with creative play," he said on the 10th. Conditions have been created to maximize Son Heung-min's aggression. "Son Heung-min's condition last season was just a mistake. He added, "I hope we can compete for the top scorer once again."

Another media outlet, 90min, ranked Son Heung-min 33rd among players playing in the EPL next season. The media said, "Last season was the worst time of Son Heung-min's career," adding, "The meeting with coach Postecoglou deserves to be the best again."

The revival of Son Heung-min is also linked to Tottenham's rebound. Tottenham remained in eighth place last season and failed to compete in the European club competition. This summer, he brought in a large number of talented players and boosted his strength. If Son Heung-min recovers his Golden Boot award, he can focus on Tottenham's reconstruction project.
