Son Heung-min praised both Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte and the club’s two January signings Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur. Son scored twice on Sunday to help Spurs beat London rivals West Ham and put themselves right into the top four race, sitting fifth in the Premier League and just three points behind Arsenal.
Heung-min Son said: “We have had ups and downs recently. Football, of course, is always about results and there will always be some disappointment because sometimes we can do much better, but we are moving in the right way. We are improving and of course there is still a lot of room to improve further – when we watch match clips and videos back with the video analysts, there is always more we can work on. As a team, we should always be thinking there is so much room for improvement. So, if you lose a game, like at Manchester United, you can of course look at it in a negative way like ‘okay, we have played well but we lost’. Of course, we are going to be disappointed, but we also have to look for the positives – the chance to improve. We can take lessons from those disappointing results, and even when we win, like finding the right balance and consistency. We always want to do what we can and get the best results. We always want to get three points – that is always our aim. A good performance is of course important, but football is about winning, and I think there is a massive, massive potential with our amazing manager.”
