Son didn't miss the opportunity. Son Heung-min is on fire. He has been active for a long time as well as this season. Son Heung-min has been a superstar for many years," he said.
Coach Postecoglou highly evaluated Son Heung-min's decision ahead of the match against Crystal Palace.

Coach Postecoglou said, "Son Heung-min is similar to Ronaldo when he started as a winger. I always thought Sonny (Son Heung-min's nickname) was a good finisher and I think he has excellent movement. "The center is more crowded than the side, but Son Heung-min is smart, so he has enough ability to play in the center," he said, praising Son Heung-min's ability, and Son Heung-min is leading Tottenham's Premier League lead run.
