No one expected that Son Heung-min, the top scorer in the Premier League last season, would be abandoned in the new season. Antonio Conte probably doesn’t like Asian players, so Son Heung-min’s stellar performance didn’t catch his eye. Antonio Conte remains keen to inspire Harry Kane, a player he sees as key to Tottenham’s rise. It is not easy for Son Heung-min to own this Tottenham Hotspur jersey, it is up to him to take it step by step.

Players of nationality like Son Heung-min are inherently controversial in the Premier League. In those countries, they did not expect Son Heung-min to perform well. Son Heung-min’s stellar performance last season has the league terrified of his existence. So Son Heung-min’s life at Tottenham is definitely not easy in the new season, and more people will be treated unfairly.

As you saw from last year’s game at Chelsea, the claim that football knows no borders is not true. Leagues are still looking to improve their domestic players, while players of other nationalities remain unpopular. While the purpose of every jersey is to swear equality for all, it’s a shame that human nature always reflects a selfish inner world. Facing a difficult career path, what will Son Heung-min do next?
