Yang Min-hyeok to compete at Tottenham starting next year
“EPL is very difficult…a realistic warning”
Son Heung-min, captain of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL), gave some realistic advice to Yang Min-hyeok (Gangwon FC), who will be playing with him starting next year.
On the 14th (Korean time), American media outlet ‘Men in Blazers’ shared an interview with Son Heung-min ahead of the new season through YouTube.
Following the tour of Korea through the ‘Coupang Play Series’ and the sense of responsibility as Tottenham Hotspur captain, questions were raised about Yang Min-hyeok.
Son Heung-min advised, “It will be tough. I want to say that competing in the EPL is very difficult. You have to prepare for the language, culture, and physical aspects. To become a top-class player, you have to be perfect in every aspect.”
He continued, “I don’t want to scare Yang Min-hyeok, but this is a realistic warning. You may feel like you’re doing well in the K-League, but here, there are many young players who are looking for opportunities every day and trying to make their place,” emphasizing thorough preparation.
Son Heung-min, who revealed that he has no intention of 100% handing over his position to Yang Min-hyuk, who is expected to be the ‘next Son Heung-min,’ added, “I want to be a good example for Yang Min-hyuk so that he can grow into a top-class player who will lead Korean soccer.”
Yang Min-hyeok has been in the spotlight since signing a semi-pro contract with Gangwon and making his professional debut while shaking things up on the K-League stage.
As of Round 26 of K League 1, Yang Min-hyeok has been on a roll, scoring 8 goals and 5 assists in all matches.
After receiving interest from world-class clubs, Yang Min-hyeok chose Tottenham, where Son Heung-min plays.
He will challenge for the league title with Gangwon for the remainder of the season and then compete for Tottenham next year.
At the time of the ‘Coupang Play Series’, expectations were high as Tottenham Hotspur manager Anje Postecoglou, captain Son Heung-min, and fellow players praised Yang Min-hyeok.
Son Heung-min gave some heartfelt advice to Yang Min-hyeok, who will be his junior on the team, saying that he needs to be thoroughly prepared both on and off the field and be determined to overcome tough competition.
