[스포티비뉴스=김건일 기자] Arsenal legend Martin Kean, 54, cut the goal of Son Heung-min, who was selected for the 2020 FIFA Puskas Awards. It is a claim that it was overvalued.
He appeared on talk sports in the UK and said, “I was surprised to receive the award.
Son Heung-min dribbled 60m in a game against Burnley last December, beating 6 defenders to score a goal.
In the final vote of the Puskas Awards, Son Heung-min scored 13 panel votes and 11 fan votes, with a total of 24 points, defeating Uruguay striker Luis Suarez (20 points) and Uruguay midfielder Giorian de Arascaeta (22 points) I was honored with the award.
At Keen’s words, host Jim White asked “What?” with a startled expression. Then Kean replied, “It’s a good goal, but it means it’s not the best goal in the world this year.”
White asked again what he was saying, as if he couldn’t agree. Keen replied:
“Son Heung-min ran almost in a straight line. I can’t remember if he beat the other player.”
“Hello, Son Heung-min almost caught the ball near the Tottenham penalty box,” said White. “That’s right. But in terms of difficulty, I couldn’t see he got stuck between other players. Did he change direction?” .
When asked again, “Do you think Sohn Heung-min’s goal is not eligible for the Puskas Prize?”, White replied, “I respect (voting), but I just think not.”

Keen, a former England national defender, made his debut for Arsenal and is one of the iconic players who made 332 appearances in Arsenal alone. White asked, “Can you say that with Arsenal’s hat off?”
“It has nothing to do with Arsenal’s hat. I think there are better goalscoring than that this year. I admire Tottenham. I think it’s great to have two great teams in North London. No problem at all. My opinion.” .
Keen’s remarks have been articleized by various media, and criticism against Keen continues on social media centering on Tottenham fans.
