When I score against Norwich, I want to be the MVP.
Manchester City-Liverpool Championship
In the English Premier League (EPL), which is recognized as the world’s highest-level league, Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham, photo) is the first Asian player to become the top scorer, the winning team, and the main character of the last ticket to advance to the next season’s UEFA Champions League. It will be decided in the final match of the EPL season starting at 0 AM on the 23rd.
Son Heung-min will be the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the EPL in the final 38th round of the season against Norwich City. In the 2021-2022 season, Son Heung-min, who is second in scoring with 21 goals as of the 20th, is aiming to become the top scorer in the match against Norwich City. Mohammed Salah (30, Liverpool) leads the scoring with 22 goals, one more than Son Heung-min.
Tottenham’s final match of the season, Norwich City, is the last among the 20 EPL teams as of the 20th, and has been confirmed for relegation to the second division next season. In particular, it is the team that has conceded the most goals this season with 79 goals, so we can expect Son Heung-min to score. The EPL is a league that recognizes the joint top scorer, so even if Son Heung-min scores the same goal as Salah, he will become the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the EPL. If Son Heung-min becomes the top scorer, it is highly likely that he will be selected as the ‘EPL Player of the Year’. Heung-Min Son was recently named in eight candidates for this season’s ‘Player of the Year’ announced by the EPL Secretariat.
