Tottenham Escort Kids’ Ralph, who recently caused a big buzz, confessed in an interview with Sky Sports in the UK on the 19th (Korea time) that he received a uniform from Son Heung-min. Ralph is one of Tottenham’s children’s escorts entering the stadium holding hands with players in the tunnel. He made a big splash when he faced off in the 16th round of the Premier League against Tottenham and Newcastle United in the 2023/24 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 11th.
While waiting for his entrance to the stadium, Ralph suddenly showed an active performance by jumping high with open arms, doing push-ups and stretching movements to make sure he could not control his overflowing energy. Later, when he met Tottenham captain Son Heung-min in the front row, he waved his fingers like a coach and even instructed him something. He responded to Ralph’s instructions by holding his face with both hands.
Ralph’s actions were captured in the video and spread through social media, which became a hot topic not only for Tottenham but also for soccer fans around the world. “I gave all of us the motivation we needed before the game. Come on You Spurs,” he wrote in his official social media account, noting his cute actions. Ralph, who became a popular star, even had an interview with Sky Sports in the U.K. Ralph, who recreated the warm-up exercise he did in the game against Newcastle before the interview, said honestly that he learned the moves from his father and did them because he wanted to become famous. 슬롯머신
Then, Ralph said he received the uniform from Son. Ralph wanted to receive it from Son in the match against Newcastle, but fortunately, he received it as a gift at a Tottenham Christmas party. The host was surprised and asked, “Did you get Sonny’s uniform?” and Ralph pointed his finger at Son Heung-min’s uniform on the floor, saying it was true that he received it as a gift.
Ralph, who received Son’s uniform ahead of Christmas, became a fan of Son as he watched Son’s performance in the match against Newcastle. Son scored one goal and two assists in the match against Newcastle, spearheading Tottenham’s landslide 4-1 victory. Starting as a left winger in the 4-2-3-1 formation, Son helped Destiny Udogi score the first goal in the 25th minute of the first half, giving his team the lead by scoring his third assist of the season.
Before the end of the first half, Son added one more assist. 37 minutes before the first half, Son, who had caught the ball due to a miss by Tottenham player and Newcastle fullback Kieran Trippier, drove the ball directly and attempted a pass to the center. When Hisharlisong received the ball, he scored 2-0 in the first half as he passed it into the Newcastle net with his left foot. Tottenham’s atmosphere continued in the second half. In the 14th minute of the second half, Hisharlisong, who scored the extra goal, scored multiple goals as he finished a fantastic cross from Pedro Poro.
With his team poised to win the game, Son scored two assists, and even secured a penalty kick. Son scored a penalty kick in the 38th minute of the second half when he had a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper. Son’s shot at the left corner neatly crossed the net, leading to Tottenham’s fourth goal.
In fact, it ended with Tottenham’s victory, and Son Heung-min was replaced by Jamie Donley, a promising striker born in 2005 with a standing ovation from home fans in the 45th minute of the second half. After Son Heung-min left, Newcastle scored one goal, but it was too late to turn the game around. Son Heung-min scored his 10th goal in the league by scoring his penalty kick on the day, becoming the player who scored in double digits in the Premier League for the eighth consecutive year since 2016.
In the 31-year history of the Premier League, which was launched in 1992, only six players (Thierry Henry, Sadio Mane, Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney) have achieved this in the history of the Premier League before Son Heung-min.
