“You know (Son) Heung-min, this is the best assist of my life!” Bertongan exclaimed.

Jan Vertonghen, 36, shrugged.

Bertonghen is a Belgian international defender born in 1987. He currently plays for Belgian side RSC Anderlecht, but spent his prime at Tottenham Hotspur.

Vertonghen cleared the ball out of his own box against Burnley FC in December 2019. Son Heung-min (31) picked it up in his own box and dribbled to the front of the opposition box before scoring. The goal earned Son the Fuskas Award, which is given to the player who scores the most spectacular goal of the year by the International Football Federation (FIFA). 안전놀이터

“What’s the best assist you’ve ever made in your career?” asked Bertongan to British media outlet Talk Sport on Thursday.

“Altende,” he replied, tagging Son Heung-min’s account. It wasn’t a technical assist, but it was a nod to his teammate, and it was an innocent response.
