It is even better to see the fans cheering.”
Son Heung-min continued, “The most important thing was to get 3 points.
We tried to show our soccer skills,” and recalled, “We showed good performance.
Especially even when we were down 0-1, we performed well.”
He said, “The opponent’s strategy of lowering the line and focusing on defense worked well until the beginning of the second half.
Still, we tried to stay calm,” he said.
“We needed one perfect opportunity, and Timo Werner took advantage of that opportunity and scored the equalizer.
“I put it in,” he said.
He did not forget to praise and encourage his colleagues who played together that day.
Regarding Werner, who scored his first goal since being loaned from Leipzig, Germany in January,
he said, He deserves to score, and I’m really happy he scored,” adding,
“The fans and we hope he can show us more.”
Regarding Brennan Johnson, who recorded two assists including his own goal, he said, “At the start of the game, I told him to be well prepared to come out (as a substitute).
I said, ‘You are a player who will make a difference in the game,’ but he came in and showed fantastic performance.
He said, There is no goal yet, but I am sure that if we continue like this, it will come automatically.”
