While the match against the Spanish giants in Suwon is bound to be well supported, the clash with Team K League has really captured the attention of local supporters.
The contest, which is part of the Coupang Play Series, is set to be the hottest ticket in town as they take to the field at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. It will take place on Wednesday 13 July as Antonio Conte’s side take on a selection of the best players from Korea’s professional league. While some of those tickets are likely to be taken up by British-based die hard fans, the majority will be turning out to see national treasure Heung-min Son in action.and the poster boy of South Korean sport.Hotspur Stadium will have noticed a huge rise in South Korea flags around the ground at matches, as Korean fans flock to London to watch their hero in action.
Last season Son shared the Golden Boot with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah with 23 goals, but somehow missed out on a place in the Premier League Team of the Year.
So if Heung-min Son played for Accrington Stanley they could have sold just as many tickets.
Let’s be honest they’ve only had him and Ji sung Park to rant and rave about. They’re next biggest flex is they ain’t North Korea
