Son also took time to discuss his vicious run in front of goal, admitting that he was never happy after a game where he didn’t score: “I was born to love football and I still love football but when you go home you take a lot of things. I’m an attacker, how can I be happy if I can’t score? I can’t be happy if I have incredible opportunities to score or create chances. If I don’t score and I’m happy, I probably wouldn’t be here.
“Sometimes even if we win, I still feel sad about my performance or where I can do better, how I can do better, the mistakes I made or the chances I missed. I always think about football because that’s how I won here.” added.
