[스포츠한국 이정철 기자] With Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham Hotspur) on the ground, Fulham placed a ‘Happy Chinese New Year’ advert on the home stadium.
Tottenham plays an away match against Fulham in the 2022-23 English Premier League (EPL) at Craven Cottage in London, England at 5:15am on the 24th (hereafter Korean time).
Tottenham, who recently suffered two defeats in a row, began to break away from a sluggishness in the game that day. Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has put Son Heung-min on the starting line-up.
Son Heung-min led the team’s attack with brisk moves from the start of the game. The earth rumbled all over the place and Purum’s defense shook.
However, during the game, the words ‘Happy Chinese New Year’ appeared on the billboard. Lunar New Year should use the phrase ‘Lunar New Year’. This is because many Asian countries spend New Year’s Day in accordance with the Lunar New Year, not China’s unique holiday.
Despite this, Fulham had the phrase ‘Happy Chinese New Year’. Even ‘Asia’s first EPL scorer’ Son Heung-min came out on stage. For Korean fans watching Son Heung-min’s game, it was an absurd phrase that could not help but frown.
