"Forget, for a moment, what he's done on the field - which isn't easy to forget since he's scored six times and assisted on three other goals in seven games, only one of which LAFC lost. The transformation Son has brought everywhere else since joining the team seven weeks ago has been breathtaking. He arrived just as the dog days of summer were becoming ferocious."
"Yet by dint of personality alone, Son immediately lightened the mood. "He brings a smile to work every day," coach Steve Cherundolo said. A month later he was even more effusive. "What I'm most impressed [with] is how Sonny treats people. His fans and his teammates," Cherundolo said. "He's an incredible human being. He's very gracious. He's patient. And he's just a fine human being.""
Son Heung-min joined LAFC seven weeks ago and immediately attracted fans who wait hours for autographs at the training center. He scored six goals and provided three assists in seven games, with only one loss during that span. LAFC entered his arrival amid poor recent form and compacted fixtures. His personality noticeably lifted team morale and fan enthusiasm. Coach Steve Cherundolo praised Son's consistent graciousness, patience, and humanity. Teammates and staff described Son as humble, special, and down to earth. Son also connected with teammates by speaking German with midfielder Timothy Tillman.
