Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min of the English professional football Premier League (EPL) took the opportunity to lift the trophy for the first time in 15 years after entering Europe and making his professional debut.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham won 1-0 in the first match of the English Carabao Cup (League Cup) semifinals of the 2024-2025 season against Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 9th (Korea time).
In the 41st minute of the second half, Dominic Solanke saved a long ball and passed it. Lucas Beribal's shot to the right corner at the no-mark opportunity made the winning goal.
With the victory, Tottenham gained an advantage in advancing to the finals.
The League Cup semi-finals will be played in a home-and-away manner to determine the team that advanced to the finals by a total score.
The second game will be held at 5 a.m. on the 7th of next month in Anfield, Liverpool, England.
Tottenham can advance to the final if it wins a draw in the second game.
If they reach the final, they will compete for the championship trophy with the winner of the Arsenal vs Newcastle United showdown.
The long-awaited final will be held on March 17 at Wembley Stadium, the holy site of English football.
Tottenham is dreaming of escaping from the military for the first time in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season.
Captain Son Heung-min is also committed to the game with extraordinary determination.
Son Heung-min, who made his professional debut in Hamburg, the German Bundesliga in 2010, did not experience a championship even after transferring to Leverkusen and Tottenham in the same league.
Son Heung-min has consistently expressed his desire to reach the top with Tottenham.
In August last year, he told BBC that he came to Tottenham to lift the trophy. "I want to climb as high as possible, both as a team and as individuals."
He took care of the team first while expressing his feelings about the extension of the contract with Tottenham on the 7th.
"I love Tottenham. We've been together for almost 10 years, and I'm really proud to be with them for another year," Son said. "When you become a captain, you have to take the lead. You have to take the lead. You have to be a leader and always behave properly."
"Sometimes it's hard, but sometimes I push myself. When a hard time comes and you hit the floor, I always think you have to get back on your feet. It's time to go back up. After a bad time, a good time always comes," he said, expressing his determination. 스포츠토토
In the rest of the season, Son Heung-min will challenge not only the League Cup, which is close to advancing to the finals, but also the English Football Association (FA) Cup and the UEFA Europa League (UEL).
