00:00Hello, I'm Han Min-sun. This is my story.

00:10I started maybe when I was like nine years old and so before 2002 but I growing up with the

00:232002 World Cup in South Korea and watched a lot of games and this was my dream to play World Cup and

00:30yeah, I had a good memory for that. Growing up and I watched a lot of times Cristiano Ronaldo

00:37and because he played Manchester United and his teammate was Park Ji-sung who was a South Korean

00:44player. They played together. I watched him a lot of times so he's still my idol. You know,

00:52he's a lot better than me and I just still watch him sometimes on YouTube or some video clips of him

01:02because I can still practice a lot from him. Now he is my agent. He went to South Korea and then

01:11with some scouters in Hamburg and Nuremberg and they picked three players each team and then my agent

01:20in Hamburg, they picked me up and I joined the Hamburg S4. Of course it was difficult but different as

01:31well. You know, when I was 16 I left my country away from my parents but you know I was just thinking

01:39this is my dream to play in Europe. I need to take the chance, you know. It's not coming every day,

01:47you know. I just took the chance, you know. For me it was difficult and away from parents,

01:52away from country with 16 years old. It's not easy ones but in my head I was just thinking

02:03thinking this is just my dream. I want to just keep working hard, you know. Some people, some players

02:09want to join here and not make it, you know. Enjoy then, you know, I feel sorry. I can good,

02:17I had a good memory and I changed it from Hamburg to Leverkusen and then my first game against Hamburg,

02:24Asuka hat-trick. I feel sorry to the Hamburg fans or Hamburg city because this is my 19 first memory

02:36because this was my first hat-trick against my ex-team and I felt just sorry and my first hat-trick.

02:47For me it was a dream to play Premier League and before I moved to England I just told the

02:52before manager I wanted to change to England because I can't take the chance, you know. It's my

03:00just dream to play Premier League and I growing up watched so many games in the Premier League, you know.

03:07First game I had a little bit not good performance and everyone was worried about, you know. Maybe

03:13the change was too early from Germany to England everyone was talking about. But I was confident to

03:19play here and all the coaching staff and all the Tottenham behind me, they support me, you know.

03:28He made me better than before, you know, a lot of better, you know. I work really hard, training is

03:34really good. You know, even though if I don't play, the training session is always tough and you

03:40it's always fit, you know. I can't, this beat team is impossible because it's just unbelievable.

03:46He's got so many goals, he can score from everywhere, you know. For me it's just one of the best strikers

03:52and I'd say after the game as well, he's younger than me but he works really hard.

03:59Yeah, this was my dream. When I was growing up, I was just thinking, yeah, when I played professional

04:05team, everyone just looked at me and this is my role model, this Sonny. Like, this was my dream,

04:14but I don't know if everyone is thinking Sonny is my role model. But, you know, I won last season,

04:24I won twice the Play of the Moms. This made me so happy. This was, I think, the best thing you can do.

04:34Dreaming, you can do what you want, you know. But in Korea, they say you should be dreaming

04:44bigger than bigger, you know. Bigger than what you think, you know. Yeah, of course the football

04:49players dreaming about Ballon d'Or, about winning for title, you know. And this is one of my dreams.
