The South Korean forward, who joined the club in early August, explained how his American teammates insisted he join their league. Despite his confusion, Son’s teammates have embraced his participation, with several players reportedly offering contradictory advice to further complicate his fantasy decision-making process.
“That’s a great question,” Son told MLS Countdown. “I’m in the fantasy league, so we’re competing, but still, I have no idea what’s going on. But I’m still fond of it, I think it’s great to have a social life with the teammates, it’s a great idea to and they invite me, and obviously I’ve enjoyed every single moment talking with the players.
“And obviously, Aaron [Long] and Ryan [Hollingshead] are sending us some bad trades, they tried something bad on me, but I was strong, I stuck with my team.”
السابق توتنهام superstar was also asked whether he was more nervous for his MLS debut with LAFC or throwing out the first pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“I think it’s an easy answer, the Dodgers,” Son explained. “The first pitch was, oh my god. I was so nervous that I think it’s one of the most I’ve been. I was so nervous, but yeah, I mean here now to play soccer, I mean football, so now I can concentrate.”
