Son Heung-min doesn't want to be like Ronaldo...Father says, "He should come down beautifully like that"

The father of 'World Class' Son Heung-min, Son Woong-jung, wants Son to come down from the top beautifully at the end of his career. He was inspired by the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a tumultuous end to his career.

"When I was watching Ronaldo at Manchester United, I said to (Son) Heung-min, 'He should come down beautifully like that, too,'" Son said during a recent appearance on JTBC.

Once considered one of the best players in the world alongside Lionel Messi, Ronaldo's final years were not kind. After reaching the pinnacle of his career at Real Madrid, Ronaldo moved on to Juventus before returning to his hometown club in the summer of 2021. He impressed early on, becoming United's top scorer, but the following year, things went south. He fell out with United's new manager, Eric Dier, in 2022.

At the time, Ronaldo dropped a bombshell in an interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan before the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. In the broadcast, which was released during the World Cup, Ronaldo said, "Manchester United betrayed me. I also felt betrayed by Mourinho, he didn't respect me, so I didn't respect him," he said, publicly sniping at Mourinho.

The reason for Ronaldo's anger was his playing time. Turnbach hadn't been playing him as often as he had in the past, often bringing him on late in the second half. This frustrated Ronaldo, who was seen leaving the field before the end of the game against Tottenham Hotspur. 카지노사이트 

"It doesn't make sense to take me off with three minutes left in the game against Tottenham," Ronaldo said. I think he did it on purpose. In fact, even before that game, I felt that he had offended me in that way. He didn't respect me and that's why I left the field against Tottenham," he explained.

In addition to Mourinho, Ronaldo also criticized other former United teammates, including Wayne Rooney. The broadcast alienated Ronaldo from the club and its fans. United eventually terminated his contract, and Ronaldo joined Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr after the World Cup in Qatar.

Ronaldo continues to play for Al Nasr today, but the feeling that the end of the world's greatest player's career paled in comparison to his fame will always be hard to erase. It was Ronaldo's own attitude that tarnished his reputation.After watching Ronaldo's example, Son Woong-Jung wants his son Son Heung-Min to follow in his footsteps. Born in 1992, Son Heung-min, who turned 32 this year, is in the second half of his career. He's still playing at the top of his game in the Premier League (PL), but when you consider that soccer players typically hang up their cleats in their mid-to-late 30s, you can imagine that he doesn't have much left in the tank.

Based on what we've seen so far, it's likely that Son Heung-min will get his wish and say goodbye to soccer. Son Heung-min is known for his good character and the upright behavior that comes from it, both in Korea and abroad. His combination of character and skill makes him a star player who sets an example for other players, both at Tottenham and on the national team.
