The player H.Son is very important for a team. H.Son has always been the player who works the hardest for his team. Even when there was H.Kane, we could see that Son and Kane always worked together so well. Both understand each other. And now that Kane is gone. It turns out that Son can replace Kane. He became captain for Tottenham very well because Son has long experience as a captain with the South Korean national team.
I'm pretty surprised by players like Son and other Asian players in the Premier League today, such as Mitoma. Their skills have improved significantly, and some of them are on par with or even better than European players. Son, in particular, has continued to grow as a player and has become a key player for Tottenham, making him a worthy replacement for Kane.
What I like about H.Son is that this player is not selfish and he can always make other players at the club comfortable. It could be said that Son is the most important figure for Tottenham at the moment.
This seems to be a common trend among Asian players. They understand that playing in a top-tier league like the Premier League is a significant achievement that not all Asian players can reach. This awareness has driven them to develop into the players they are today.
It seems to be true that not many Asian soccer players can be successful as pro players in European leagues or at big clubs in Europe. But in recent seasons the two Asian countries that have had players who have had successful careers at European clubs appear to be South Korea and Japan. Especially South Korean players who are always considered important players at their clubs. In the past, Park Ji Sung was also successful in bringing a good name to South Korea when he had a career at Man United. Then now there is H.Son who has also put South Korean football in the spotlight again in Europe. And not only Son but also Kim Min Jae, who was successful last season with Napoli and is now playing at Bayern.
And from Japan there is Mitoma, who is also currently successfully stealing attention after joining Brighton. Apart from that, there is also Takefusa Kubo who currently plays for Real Sociedad. Well, these players have almost similar playing characteristics. Namely, they are hard workers and it seems they realize that without working harder they will be unable to compete in European football. Because in Europe there are far more quality players.
