Will he be able to soothe his disappointment that he lost just eight months ago in Bangkok, Thailand.
Attention is focusing on whether Son will fly from Bangkok. He visited Bangkok with his Tottenham players in July last year and packed his bags without playing even a second.
The story goes like this. Tottenham was on a tour of Asia ahead of the opening of the 2023-2024 season. First of all, the new coach Ange Postecoglou stopped in his home country of Australia, especially in the west Perth, to play friendly matches with West Ham United. Soccer is not yet the most popular sport in Australia. Rugby, tennis, and remote soccer (Australian rugby) are popular, and soccer is on the back burner.
Nevertheless, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, who was the captain of the team at the time, received a great welcome and headed to Bangkok after finishing the match against West Ham.
Tottenham was supposed to play a friendly match with Leicester City in Bangkok. Leicester City was demoted from the Premier League at the time and dropped to the Championship (part 2), but as the club’s owner was Thai, he frequently visited Bangkok and elsewhere, and this time he was supposed to play with Tottenham. Son Heung-min also took time off from practice, including missing an A-match in June last year due to hernia surgery, and also missed the match against West Ham, so the match against Leicester City was expected to be his return match.
But the rain caused trouble.
It was the rainy season in Thailand at the time, and there was a shower from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., but in severe cases, the streets were flooded with water, making it difficult to drive.
It was the same when the Tottenham Hotspur-Leicester match was held. Heavy rain poured down at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, but the drainage system was not smooth, making it difficult to play a normal soccer game.
After waiting for about an hour, the stadium’s condition did not improve and the game was ultimately canceled. Tottenham players packed their bags and went back to their accommodation, before moving to Singapore, the venue for the next pre-season game. Son Heung-min even boosted his condition by shooting, but Tottenham wanted the game to be canceled out of concern for the players’ safety and carried it out.
Although the game was canceled, Son Heung-min’s popularity in Bangkok is great.
At that time, Son Heung-min’s life span installed in front of the stadium was the best photo spot, and numerous fans came to the stadium wearing Tottenham uniforms and took commemorative photos with Son in the background.
Son Heung-min is an advertising model for a global razor company in Thailand. You can easily see Son’s photos even at local medium and large supermarkets.
Tottenham also invited Thai children to an environmental campaign event to make bags that recycled uniforms together. Son Heung-min and other Tottenham players actively participated in volunteer activities. The most popular player here was Son Heung-min, too.
It was regrettable, but Son Heung-min was almost the best in terms of fan service. Son Heung-min then coordinated his sense of play by playing in a match against the local All-Star team in Singapore.
Son Heung-min arrived at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport on the 22nd with the South Korean national soccer team led by interim coach Hwang Sun-hong and was warmly welcomed by fans as he was eight months ago. 고소득알바
The match will take place against Thailand for the second Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-Central America World Cup, and the venue of the match is also Rajamangala Stadium. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to soothe regret and score a goal in the summer last year.
