The Son Heung-min Disrespect Needs To STOP

Son Heung-min has consistently been one of the most impressive players to grace the English Premier League for almost a decade at this point. However, I've always felt that he hasn't been given the respect that he deserves for his output.

Today, we investigate the reasons as to why.

I think fans respect him, but the media doesn't, which is a shame

[marto]

As a United fan, I'd say Sonaldo is my favorite non-United player in the Prem. He delivers splendid game and is overall a very joyful guy from what I've seen.

[kyriakos]

Jokes about Tottenham being Tottenham aside, Son and Kane really deserve a premier league title at the very least.

[mysteriousM]

He is very underrated, the fact he didn’t make team of the year is astounding and never had a decent Ballon dor rating is also crazy

[jonathanLToronto]

When Ruud Van Nistelrooy was at Hamburger Sv he twitted Son(17 yo at the time) was the talent to watch out for. I didnt believe he would grow exponentially like this. Hats off to Ruud for seeing this coming.

The reason why Hazard and Mane's legacy is greater than that of Son despite them being equal in quality is really down to trophies. A players performances mean way way more to fans and to the football community as a whole if they help your team lift stuff. The fact that he hasn't won major silverware isn't his fault of course since football is a team sport but it plays a huge role. He would've been put in the same conversation as Mane and Hazard if Spurs won that UCL in 2019 that's for sure.

This man is incredible and the disrespect needs to stop

[SkyFire]

I have never agreed with a video title so much in my life. Son is King. Son is Life. If he ever leaves my beautiful Spurs I will cry for days

[Someonesbootycheeks]

Son is top 10 for me in the past 10 years. Dude is super underrated, the fact he's a double footed monster makes him even more valuable.

[firstnamelastname]

How he wasn't even one of the candidates for the PFA players team of the season for the 2021/22 season where he won the GOLDEN BOOT is something I will never understand

[SilliusSodus]

He’s the greatest Asian footballer of all time and the fact that Spurs haven’t given him a trophy is criminal (coming through the gritted teeth of a Chelsea fan 💙).

[tz]

Son was a delight in the Bundesliga and what I saw of him in the PL was genius most of the time. So yea, he is underrated imo and I agree with your possible reasons.

[yutehube]

Son is incredible. He's elite for sure. I am a Man United fan but I wish we had him on our team. Put it this way, he'd instantly be our best player.

[IllustroFootball]

For Son's sake I hope Tottenham wins a trophy soon. He truly deserves one. And as usual, great video man.

[garcia]

since 2015.. until now.. Football Iconic's first Son's video? Rather than a title like this, please make more frequent videos about Son Heung-min. That is respect for Son Heung-min.. Son won the Premier League Golden Boot last year.. Son is world class

[billytompkins]

Hi Iconic. Millwall fan here. For starters love your work man and I do feel justified for saying when we played spurs in the FA cup that he was the best player ive seen live. Also thank you for saying its a minority of fans, we have a reputation and I cant see that ever changing unfortunately, but again thank you for not tarring us all with same brush. Keep up the great work

[kingarabsspring]

Son is one of the world's most famous football players.. Many people like Son. Many football fans know Son.. let's be honest.. Some football fans, some media, Some experts hate it when an Asian player is called a world class..So the media and some fans keep making certain frames.. They are silent on this fact. Son Heung-min is already world class

[ammarharith]

I was waiting for Liverpool to snatch Son up from Leverkusen back in 2015, he was so good since his Hamburg days. Unfortunately, fate has set him on his own journey. But man, what an addition he would be for Klopp's commencement in revolutionizing Liverpool.

[gingerbob]

I think when Kane got injured around 2-3 years ago and spurs had to play son up top without kane was probably the best thing to happen to him in terms of recognition. Most people who didn’t really notice or watch him specifically started to go ‘spurs play better without Kane’ due to his star shining much more. Son is genuinely one of the most entertaining players the league’s had in years and honestly, the whole league’s going to feel his absence when he unfortunately leaves.

Another goated video as per my man. The YouTube balon d’or is as safe as yours.

[MyObessiveDirector]

I'm so glad someone finally made this video fr. Folks are far too comfortable acting like Sonny isn't world class whenever he goes through a dry spell like any other footballer when the stats from the last 6 seasons clearly prove otherwise. He carried a lot when Harry was out in 18/19 during that UCL final run and especially last year when we were stuck with Nuno and before Harry got back to his best under Conte around February.
