Son Heung-min was excited to tears, breaking the career championship drought, and connecting with Kane

In the Europa League final on the evening of May 22, with Brennan Johnson's goal, Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 and won the UEFA Cup; this is also Tottenham's first championship trophy in 17 years; at the same time, captain Son Heung-min has held the first championship in 10 years. This Asian leader has been in Europe for 15 years and finally won the first championship in his club career.

As an Asian benchmark for European players, Son Heung-min entered the first team as early as 2010; after three years of training, Son Heung-min joined Leverkusen and gradually made his own name; after 29 goals and 11 assists in three seasons, Son Heung-min joined Tottenham Hotspur for 30 million euros in the summer of 2015. During his ten years at Tottenham, Son Heung-min scored 173 goals and 101 assists in 454 games, and also won the Premier League Golden Boot; his teammates were walking in batches, but he was the only one who stayed alone in the White Hart Lane Stadium.

In the past 10 years of Tottenham, Son Heung-min and Tottenham have reached the Champions League final and the League Cup final respectively, but without exception they all ended in losing. This season, Tottenham has plummeted in the Premier League, but has reached the final directly on the UEFA Cup stage. At the press conference before the final, Son Heung-min expressed his determination to compete with Tottenham. He said: "It is obviously a historic moment to win the championship; I have been here for ten years, and I have always longed to win a trophy, and no one has done it in these ten years." On the stage of the finals, Son Heung-min came on as a substitute, but his teammate Brennan Johnson scored the only goal in the game, and Tottenham successfully won the championship; the excited Asian No. 1 also shed tears of happiness on the court. After ten years of persistence, he finally got the coveted championship trophy. Son Heung-min used his actions to prove that people with dreams and finals will eventually see the clouds. Interestingly, as Son Heung-min's former comrade, Kane just won the Bundesliga not long ago, and the two broke the championship drought in the same season; they completed an alternative connection. After winning the UEFA Cup championship, Son Heung-min also became the first Korean captain to lead the team to win a major European event championship; according to Son Heung-min's contribution to Tottenham, becoming a legend in the history of the team is inevitable. This is also the fifth South Korean player to win the European Championship after Che Bang Gon, Kim Dong-jin, Lee Ho and Park Ji-sung.
