Tolga Aslan, who moved to the J-League, praised Son Heung-min.

Japanese media "Ultra Soccer" said on the 18th (Korea time), "Aslan, a German midfielder of Sanfrecce Hiroshima, talked about Tottenham's friendship with Korean striker Son Heung-min. He mentioned this in an exclusive interview with ESPN," he said, conveying his interview.

Son and Aslan are close enough to spend the time together in Hamburg. Son joined Hamburg Youth in 2008 and made his professional debut in 2010. He joined Hamburg until 2013. Aslan made his professional debut in Hamburg in 2009 and played until 2016.
The two met once in May. However, they did not face off. In May, Tottenham played a friendly match against Newcastle United at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, shortly after the end of the season.

At the official press conference at the time, Son Heung-min said, "My friend is here and he wants to meet me. He joined Melbourne this season, and it would be nice to meet my friend here."

Son dreamed of a reunion for the first time in a long time, but the situation was not easy. He said, "It would be nice to meet my friend again here, but since it is the last game of this season, I want to go back home as soon as possible after the game is over. But I think it would be nice to have a chance to look around." Tottenham will completely wrap up the season after a friendly match against Newcastle. Son Heung-min is also known to return to Korea.

Local reporters asked their names exactly who they were. "Tolga Aslan. He is actually one of my best friends," Son said. "Aslan and I were so close that we took a picture of the Bundesliga ranking table and saved it on our mobile phone desktop to motivate them," Son said during an interview with the Bundesliga's official channel in 2012.

Aslan always remembered Son, too. In an official interview with the A-League in November last year, Son said, "We were young players who played for the first team. We had an amazing time together 24 hours a day. We slept together a lot, and his mother cooked for us. Until today, we have a good relationship. I am so happy about his career."

Was it a coincidence? Son faced Aslan on the day. The official social media channel of the Australian A-League shared the words "It is a beautiful moment since Tottenham's open training," along with a photo of the two players hugging each other and taking a photo together. "Son told the media that Aslan is one of his best friends, and a few minutes later they met again," he said.

After playing for Hamburg, Aslan continued his professional career with Besiktas, Fenerbahce, and Udinese. Then, he moved to Melbourne City last summer and moved to Hiroshima in Japan's J League 1 this summer. Aslan has scored seven goals in nine matches, helping his team become a league player.

In an interview with ESPN, Aslan said, "Knowing that Sonny was coming to Melberon, we talked a lot. I haven't had a chance to meet him in the last three or four years. He was with the national team, and I was playing in a league game. It's funny that we can't meet when we're close to each other in Europe. And we met on the other side of the world. We just laughed at each other, and it was a special moment for us," he recalled meeting in May.

He added, "He is the nicest person I have ever met. In our time, it was harder for a young player to play in the first team. I spent a lot of time besides the academy and the A team because I was the only one who came out of Hamburg and Sonny."

They were like family. "Sometimes I was with Sonny's family, sometimes he came to my house. It was a special time for us. My wife even told me she didn't know if I was with her longer or with Sonny longer," Aslan said with a smile.

He gave high marks. Aslan said, "Son Heung-min was very talented, but there are many talented players in Europe. His father did many things for him. That is why he may be the best Asian player in the history of soccer. He played at a very high level for 10 years, not for a year. He is the best player for me." 안전놀이터
