There has been controversy over the recent scandal, but Son Heung-min's attempt to win the UEFA Europa League has been officially made.

Tottenham reported on the club's official website on the 18th (Korea Standard Time) that "Son Heung-min is ready to play in the Europa League final after the match against Aston Villa and that he feels good."

Son, who had been sidelined due to foot injury, made his first start in a month in the 37th round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Aston Villa on Saturday. In the previous match against Crystal Palace, he made his comeback as a substitute, but failed to display remarkable form. He played for a total of 74 minutes in the match.

The match against Aston Villa was effectively a preview of his physical conditions. Early in the first half, he showed good movements including shooting to prove that he recovered to some extent, but did not have a substantial record in his statistics. He failed to penetrate the opponent team's defense line. In the second half, his team hit the ground allowing a goal. Footmob, a soccer statistics media, gave him a low score of 5.8 points. Of course, the scandal involving a man in his 40s and his ex-lover broke out, which could have affected his psychological impact.

For now, the match against Villa has become a rough measure of how much Son Heung-min will be able to play in the Europa League.

"I feel great. I was a bit tired because it was my first match, but I'm in good physical condition and ready to play in the final," Son said in an interview after the match. "It was really hard just to watch the match without playing in person. (But) I was happy that the hard work of my teammates paid off. Now, I will all prepare for one goal on the important stage of the final."

Son Heung-min is now aiming to win his first major tournament title in a decade since he wore the Tottenham uniform. Tottenham has no record of winning a major tournament since winning the 2008 League Cup. They had two chances but missed them all. Tottenham lost both the 2019 UEFA Champions League final and the 2021 Carabao Cup final.

This season, too, the team fell in succession in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, and the team fell to 17th place, so there is no place to step down anymore.

Tottenham is having an exceptionally brutal year this season. With only one game left, they only had 38 points. This is well below the club's lowest point of 44 points in a single season recorded in the 97-98 season. On top of that, he also rewrote the record of the most league losses in a single season since the league was launched in 1992 with 20 losses in the season.

This has led to Son's desperate desire for a trophy throughout the season. 먹튀검증

Although he enjoyed his personal glory, including becoming Asia's first EPL top scorer, he was unable to win the team's victory even when he was active with top players such as Harry Kane (Bayern Munich).

In addition, Son Heung-min's deterioration of performance continued to emerge apart from the outside of the game at the age of 32. Of course, there were a lot of confusion in the game due to the lack of detailed tactics and the departure of key players from the line in the middle of the season. There were certainly parts that could not be solved by Son Heung-min's personal strength alone, but public opinion grew that it is difficult to see the problem of personal skills lightly.
