Heung-Min Son feels responsible for Antonio Conte’s dismissal

Co-top scorer in the Premier League last season with 23 goals (tied with Mohamed Salah editor’s note), Son Heung-min cannot say the same about the current year. The South Korean striker, on the tightrope for several months (26 matches, 6 goals), spoke about the recent departure of Antonio Conte. If the faults are shared between the performance of the team and the attitude of the Italian technician, the 30-year-old player considers himself largely responsible for his dismissal.

“I’m really sorry for Conte as a player. I should have shown him a better version of me and helped the team more, but I failed, he lamented after South Korea’s defeat against Uruguay in a friendly match on Tuesday (1-2). Because of that, he finally had to take responsibility for his departure, and I feel responsible because I didn’t help the club much. I am grateful for what he did. He is a very good coach and he has a lot of experience. I will support him.»
