Among the numerous opponents Son Heung-min faced in the Premier League, the most difficult opponent was Kante.

In an interview released by Sky Sports in the U.K. on Thursday, Son was asked who was the most difficult opponent while playing in the Premier League. "Playing against Kante was really difficult. Actually, Kante was everywhere. He covered a lot of space and was underrated," Son said. "He didn't get any headlines or spotlight. Players get spotlight when they score a goal, but it was really difficult when Kante returned to Chelsea."
Kante joined Leicester City in the 2015-16 season and entered the Premier League stage. He then played for Chelsea for seven seasons from the 2016-17 season. Kante, who won the Premier League in both Leicester City and Chelsea, also won both the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League in Chelsea. Kante, who also played a leading role in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia for the French national team, has been playing for RT Hard in Saudi Arabia's professional league since the 2023-24 season, leaving the European stage. 메이저놀이터
