[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Soccer player Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham) met with 'soccer star' David Beckham.
On the 26th (Korean time), Tottenham released a video of a conversation between Son Heung-min and Beckham through the club's official social network service (SNS).
The released video was filmed in February when Tottenham's main sponsor AIA invited Beckham to the club. Beckham is currently serving as an ambassador for the AIA Group.
In the video, Beckham greeted Son Heung-min warmly with a high five and then asked him about his motivation methods and preparation process.
In response, Son Heung-min said, "I came to the UK to play in the Premier League (EPL). This is my dream. So I have to eat well and sleep well."
Son Heung-min also stated, "All players playing in EPL clubs have talent. The difference lies in how they behave on the ground," adding, "You have to show professionalism both on and off the field."
He added, "Some talented players do not reach the highest level because of their mentality."
Earlier, Son Heung-min completed basic military training at the Marine Corps 9th Brigade training center on the 8th and departed on the 16th to return to the EPL.
