English Premier League (EPL) club Tottenham Hotspur has revealed an episode in which captain Son Heung-min, 31, 스포츠토토 sent a message to vice-captain Christian Romero ahead of the season opener but did not receive a reply.
"They are good teammates, but not all of them respond immediately to the captain," said Romero, according to British media outlet Football London on Feb. 22.
Son told a Tottenham fan forum on Sept. 20 that he sent a WhatsApp message to vice-captain James Maddison and Romero the day before the EPL opener against Brentford.
"It was the first game of the season, 토토 so I said, 'Let's get a little closer to the fans,'" Son said.
Typically, soccer players stand in a circle in the center of the pitch before a game, but Tottenham made a splash by huddling in front of the stands against Brentford.
"It was a special connection with the fans," Son explained. "Maddison was like, 'That's a great idea, let's do it,' but Romero didn't read it. When I approached the fans at the game, he asked me, 'What's going on?
"I understood what it meant afterward," said Son, "We have a good relationship with each other, which is important not only for the fans but also for the players. We need to maintain a good relationship until the end of the season." 스포츠토토링크
