South Korea Catches ‘Spursmania’ for Son Heung-Min and Tottenham’s Pre-season Tour

The Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is currently on their pre-season tour in Asia, and their South Korean striker Son Heung-Min has been causing quite a stir. The nation has caught “Spursmania,” with football fans packing stadiums for Tottenham’s matches and cheering on Son with fervor.

Son is no stranger to the adoration of South Koreans. He is the national team’s captain and has played in two World Cup tournaments. However, his performances with Tottenham over the past few years have cemented his status as a hero in his home country.

During Tottenham’s pre-season tour in Asia, Son has played a major role in the team’s games against Juventus, Manchester United, and Kashiwa Reysol. In Korea, thousands of fans came to see the team practice and Son in particular.

South Korea has a strong football culture, and Premier League matches are broadcasted every week. But, with Son being one of the most popular figures in the league, Tottenham has received an undeniable boost in support from the country.

Son’s Rise to Fame

Son’s career has been nothing short of impressive. After playing for several clubs in South Korea and Germany, he signed with Tottenham in 2015. In his first season, he helped the team reach the Champions League, and his performances have only continued to improve since then.

In 2018, he became the first Asian player to win Premier League Player of the Month. Later that year, he led South Korea to the Asian Games gold medal, which exempted him from military service.

Son’s fame has earned him a place in advertisements and campaigns for major brands in Korea, and he is often referred to as the “Manchester United Killer” due to his many goals against the rival club.

Expectations for the Season

Tottenham has had a largely successful pre-season tour, with wins and strong performances against tough opponents. Son’s energy and skill on the pitch have been undeniable, and fans in South Korea and around the world are excited to see what the new season will bring for him and Tottenham.

The Premier League begins on August 9th, and Tottenham’s opening match is against Aston Villa. Son and his team will have high expectations as they strive to improve on last year’s fourth-place finish and potentially secure their first-ever Premier League title.
