Son Heung-min: I Take Responsibility for Tottenham's Defeat to Chelsea

In a high-stakes Premier League match, Tottenham Hotspur faced a 4-3 defeat against Chelsea. Captain Son Heung-min scored in stoppage time but missed a crucial chance earlier in the second half that could have altered the game's outcome.

After the match, Son conveyed his disappointment: "It's truly disheartening. I don't know what to say. We played very well in the first 30 minutes, but suddenly the tide turned. The goals we conceded were due to our own carelessness. In such big games, we need to improve and score. I feel like I let the team down and I'm very sorry about that."

He continued, "I can talk about the mistakes all day, but I'd rather blame myself for the chance I missed and take responsibility for this defeat. However, I'm also human and I make mistakes, but it's very painful that we ended up losing this game. We need to stick together in such difficult moments."

Son also emphasized the importance of unity and support, especially for the younger players: "Our players are very young and they need support more than ever. The fans have always been kind to us, but I think it's time for the players to step up."
