The Premier League (PL) highlighted the legend of the most participation, scoring, helping, and clean sheets in the league among players from Asian Football Confederation (AFC) countries on social media on the 12th (Korea time).월카지노
Son Heung-min, who has scored 115 goals and 57 assists, topped the list in two areas. The top scorers were Mark Viduka (92 goals), Harry Kewell (57 goals), Tim Cahill (56 goals), and Park Ji-sung (19 goals). Hwang Hee-chan (18 goals), who is playing hard for Wolverhampton, may soon join the ranks. Helpers are Kiwell (38 assists), Brett Emmerton (30 assists), Viduka (28 assists), and Cahill (22 assists).
Son Heung-min, dubbed “all-time legend,” has a record that cannot be exceeded. This is the record of participation, excluding clean sheets, which only goalkeepers can climb. Australian goalie Mark Schwartzer (514 games) played in more than 226 games, and his clean sheet was also the highest at 151 times.
Schwartzer, who joined Middlesbrough in the 1996-97 season, played in the PL stage while playing in four clubs: Middlesbrough (1997-2008), Fulham (2008-2013), Chelsea (2013-2015), and Leicester City (2015-2016). Korean soccer fans remember him as a goalkeeper who played an active part in the Australian national team and a colleague who shared a room with Lee Dong-guk during Middlesbrough.
The record that PL has drawn attention is receiving praise for Son. Fans gave him thumbs up, saying, “He shows how good Son has been so far,” “I’m proud of Sonny,” “He’s a progressive player,” and “He’s one of the best players not only in Asia but also in the world.”
This season, Son has set another milestone. He ranks 23rd with the most goals scored in PL history (115 goals) and has scored double-digit goals for eight consecutive seasons (14 goals → 12 goals → 11 goals → 17 goals → 23 goals → 10 goals → 12 goals). Son is continuing a great moment in the history of Korean soccer that may never be seen again.
What to pay attention to is the pace of scoring. The team became the second fastest in history. First of all, the 2016-17 season reached double-digit levels in the match against Watford in round 32. The 2017-18 season is the match against Huddersfield in round 29. The 2018-19 season is the match against Newcastle in round 25. The 2019-20 season is the match against Arsenal in round 35. All four seasons have achieved double-digit numbers since round 20. The 2020-21 season is the fastest ever game against Arsenal in round 11. The 2021-22 season, which was the top scorer, is the match against Leeds United in round 27. The 2022-23 season, which suffered from orbital fractures and sports hernia, is the match against Liverpool in round 34. The 2023-24 season, which is currently underway, saw double-digit numbers in the match against Newcastle in round 16. This is why the term “second heyday” is not wrong.
Son Heung-min, an irreplaceable player, left Tottenham for a while. He will join the Korean national team led by Jürgen Klinsmann and try to win the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. Team Korea, which belongs to Group E, will face off against Bahrain on June 15, Jordan on June 20, and Malaysia on June 25.
