The English Professional Football Association (PFA) apologized for omitting the name of Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham Hotspur) in the process of selecting and announcing the 'Team of the Year'.
On the 7th, PFA posted on SNS today (7th), "Son Heung-min's name was omitted from the post announcing this year's team. I apologize. It was a real mistake" along with the video of Son Heung-min's goal ceremony.
The PFA added the Taegeukgi emoticon and added, "We love Sony (nickname Son Heung-min). He had a great season."
Son Heung-min, who scored 17 goals and 10 assists in 37 matches in the English Premier League during the 2020-2021 season, was named in the striker category in the Premier League 'Team of the Year' announced by the PFA on the 5th.
It is the first time Son Heung-min has been on the PFA Team of the Year and the first big record among Asian players.
However, when the PFA posted the 11 players in the team of the year on social media, the name of Heung-Min Son was omitted.
Heung-Min Son appeared in the video released by the PFA, but only the name of Heung-Min Son was omitted from the SNS post.
The post was not edited for a while, and fans protested, and in the end, the PFA posted a new post containing Son Heung-min's name and even apologized on the same day.
