Heartbreaking News Son Heung-min Father confirm dead just now…….
Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has paid tribute to Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy for the Dutchman taking him under his wing when the pair were together at Hamburg.
Van Nistelrooy was in Germany after spells at Manchester United and Real Madrid when Son was breaking through from the Hamburg academy, and the legendary Dutch forward famously tweeted telling fans to watch out for the rising star from South Korea.
“I started in the youth team in Hamburg and I got a first-team call-up when I was 17.
I went to the changing room really early and as soon as Ruud came, I couldn’t believe it.
“I was like shaking, I was sitting in the changing room and as soon as he turned up, I stood up straight and shook his hand and he said ‘how are you?’.
I said ‘all good’ and I had an unbelievable pre-season but unfortunately I broke my foot and I was on crutches.
“Next day we had a team picture and I was on the crutches and he came to me and he said ‘we’re going to wait for you’ and I started crying because it was so meaningful to hear those words from a world-class player.
