There was a lot of praise from foreign media for Sonny

Son Heung-min politely refused foreign media's request for an interview in the mixed zone after a friendly match against Newcastle United in the Melbourne Cricket Round in Australia on the 22nd.
Son Heung-min, who played in all matches (35 matches) except for the Asian Cup transfer period in this season's EPL, went to Australia immediately after the season ended without a break, and had a tight schedule to play again.
When reporters asked for an interview at the stadium after the match against Newcastle, Son said with an apologetic expression on his face, "I just want to go today. I've always had interviews, and I had a press conference yesterday. Give me a day off today," asking for his understanding.
Local reporters, who were not aware of Son Heung-min's tired condition and busy schedule, applauded and cheered, saying, "Thank you (for saying that), Son Heung-min," and "I hope you have a good vacation."
Son Heung-min repeatedly apologized by putting his hands together in his chest and giving out his thumb to the reporters.
Australia's Lucas Rinaldo said on his SNS, "Son Heung-min refused to be interviewed in the mixed zone in the most uncontroversial way," adding, "Son Heung-min, who spent another 48 hours in Melbourne, is now fully qualified to rest."
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min returned home via Incheon International Airport on the 23rd and is resting at home. https://edwardsrailcar.com/
