00:02 - Hello, I'm Hyun Min Sun.

00:09 This is my story.

00:10 I started maybe when I was like nine years old

00:19 and also before 2002,

00:21 but I growing up with the 2002 World Cup in South Korea

00:26 and watched a lot of games

00:28 and this was my dream to play World Cup.

00:30 Yeah, I had a good memory for that.

00:33 I growing up and I watched a lot of times Cristiano Ronaldo

00:37 and because he played Manchester United

00:40 and his teammate was Park Ji Sung

00:43 was a South Korean player.

00:45 They played together.

00:46 I watched him a lot of times.

00:49 That's why he's still my idol.

00:52 You know, he's a lot better than me

00:56 and I just still watch him sometimes in YouTube

00:59 or some video clips of him, you know,

01:02 because I can still practice a lot of from him.

01:06 Now he is my agent.

01:08 He's went to South Korea

01:10 and then with some scouts in Hamburg and Nuremberg

01:15 and they picked three players each team

01:19 and then my agent and Hamburg, Hamburg, Hamburg High School,

01:25 they picked me up and I joined Hamburg as well.

01:29 Of course it was difficult but different as well.

01:32 You know, when I was 16, I left my country

01:34 away from my parents,

01:37 but I was just thinking,

01:39 this is my dream to play in Europe.

01:41 I need to take the chance, you know.

01:45 It's not coming every day, you know.

01:48 I just took the chance.

01:50 You know, for me it was difficult

01:52 away from parents, away from country

01:54 with 16 years old, it's not easy ones.

01:59 But in my head I was just thinking,

02:04 this is just my dream, I will just keep work hard.

02:07 You know, some people, some players want to join here

02:10 and not make it, you know.

02:14 Enjoyed and, you know, I feel sorry.

02:16 I had a good memory and I changed from Hamburg

02:21 to Leverkusen and then my first game against Hamburg

02:24 I scored a hat-trick and this is,

02:26 I feel sorry to the Hamburg fans,

02:30 or Hamburg city, because

02:33 this is my first memory because

02:37 this was my first hat-trick against my ex-team

02:41 and felt just sorry and

02:44 my first hat-trick, that's all I think.

02:47 For me it was a dream to play Premier League

02:49 and before I moved to England I just told

02:53 my manager I want to change to England because

02:56 I can't take the chance, you know,

03:00 it's my dream to play Premier League

03:02 and growing up I watched so many games

03:05 in the Premier League, you know.

03:07 First game I did a little bit not good performance

03:10 and everyone was worried about, you know,

03:13 maybe the change was too early from Germany to England,

03:16 everyone was talking about,

03:18 but I was confident to play here

03:19 and all the coaching staff and

03:24 all the Tottenham behind me, they support me, you know.

03:28 He make me better than before, you know,

03:30 a lot better, you know.

03:32 I work really hard, training is really good.

03:35 You know, even if I don't play,

03:37 the training session is always tough

03:39 and you always feel, you know,

03:41 I can't, his big team is impossible

03:44 because he's just unbelievable.

03:46 He's scored so many goals,

03:47 he can score from everywhere, you know.

03:50 For me, he's just one of the best strikers

03:52 and I say, after the game as well,

03:55 he's younger than me, but he works really, really hard.

03:59 Yeah, this was my dream, when I growing up,

04:02 I was thinking, yeah, when I play for professional team,

04:06 everyone just look at me,

04:09 this is my role model, this Sonny,

04:11 like this was my role, this was my dream,

04:14 but I don't know if everyone thinking,

04:18 yeah, Sonny is my role model,

04:20 but, you know, I won, last season I won twice

04:25 the Premier, play of the month.

04:28 This make me so happy, this was, I think, best,

04:31 best thing you can do.

04:34 Dream, you dreaming, you can do what you want, you know.

04:38 But in Korea, they say,

04:42 you should dreaming bigger than bigger, you know.

04:45 Bigger than what you think, you know.

04:47 Yeah, of course, the football players dreaming

04:50 about Ballon d'Or, about winning, winning for title, you know.

04:55 This is one of my dream.
