(Reporter Kim Hwan, Xports News) Eric Dier, who sparked rumors of a rift with Son Heung-min in the past by appearing to argue with him during a match, also sent a congratulatory message to Son Heung-min.
Dier, who moved to Bayern Munich in the winter transfer window, looked much more relaxed. Dyer smiled broadly and congratulated Son Heung-min on his 400th game appearance.
Tottenham Hotspur released a video of former Tottenham players sending congratulatory messages to Son Heung-min via social media on the 6th (Korea time).
All of the players featured in the video released by Tottenham were players who maintained a close relationship with Son Heung-min while playing for Tottenham. Son Heung-min’s eternal partner Harry Kane, who left for Munich last summer, Dier (Munich), Hugo Lloris (LAFC), Dele Alli (Everton), Jan Vertonghen (Anderlecht), Kevin Wimmer (Rapid Vienna), and Christian Eriksen (Manchester United appeared).
The reason why Son Heung-min’s ‘close friends’ got together was to celebrate Son Heung-min’s recent feat of playing in 400 games for Tottenham.
Son Heung-min started against West Ham United and played his 400th game for Tottenham. Although Son Heung-min was quiet in this game, and Tottenham also drew 1-1, the game against West Ham was a very meaningful game for Son Heung-min.
Tottenham also asked former Tottenham teammates and close friends of Son Heung-min to celebrate Son Heung-min’s 400th match appearance and made a video for Son Heung-min. This shows how much Tottenham care about Son Heung-min, the captain of the team and the hero of the club.
The first person to appear in the video was Kane, who joked about being closer to Son Heung-min than his wife. During his time at Tottenham, Kane and Son Heung-min were the most lethal duo in the Premier League (PL) and scored a number of goals together. Kane and Son Heung-min scored more goals at Chelsea than Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard combined.
Kane said: “Sonny, congratulations on reaching 400 appearances. It’s an amazing achievement. I was incredibly lucky to have played with you. I’ve had the privilege of playing with you every week, great footballer and a great person. I hope you keep scoring in many more games.” He was cheering for Son Heung-min.
Dier, who followed Kane to Munich, also congratulated Son Heung-min. Last year, he had an argument with Son Heung-min during a match, and when Son Heung-min said “I feel responsible” when former manager Antonio Conte was sacked, Dier even said, “I don’t agree with Son Heung – my opinion.”
Son Heung-min was appointed captain before this season, while Dier was the subject of a reshuffle at Tottenham and was chased to Munich, but the relationship between the two appears to be better than expected.
Dier said in the video: “My Son. I’m so happy you’ve reached 400 caps. You’re a great player and a very good person. I hope you have many more great moments ahead of you you.”
Meanwhile, Dier was considered a 3rd or 4th option for a centre-back at Tottenham, but managed to turn his career around after moving to Munich. He joined Munich on loan, but played a certain number of games and was transferred to Munich. Recently, he has pushed out Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano and is playing as Munich’s starting center back along with Matthijs De Licht.
Dier can face Son Heung-min after this season is over. This is because Tottenham and Munich have agreed to play a friendly during the pre-season. As Son Heung-min is an attacker and Dier is a defender, it is very likely that the two players will face each other directly on the pitch.
