Belgian center back duo Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld, who led Tottenham Hotspur's heyday along with Son Heung-min, have retired from active duty.
Vertonghen, who was born in 1987, and Alderweireld, who were born in 1989, are soul mates. Both players grew up together at Ajax Youth Academy, a prestigious school in the Netherlands. After their professional debut, they played for Ajax as a key center back combination for the Belgium national team. It is well known among Korean soccer fans that they led the team's heyday by showing fantastic teamwork at Tottenham.
After leaving Tottenham, they went their separate ways. After playing for Benfica, Perton went to Anderlecht, a prestigious club in his own league, while Alderweireld played for Royal Antwerp, one of the most prestigious clubs in Belgium, after playing for Alduhail in Qatar.
The two players, who had been soul partners for nearly half of their lives, decided to step down from active duty after this season.
Ajax, the two players' former team, left a tribute at the news of their retirement.
Ajax said on the club's official website on the 31st (Korea time), "Perton and Alderweireld are retiring. The two players grew up in Amsterdam and stood out at Tottenham. After success abroad, I finished my career as a great footballer almost simultaneously this month."
"Perton joined Ajax in 2003, and a year later, Alderweireld came. Amsterdam has become their new home and second home. They have been a key duo in the team since the 2009-2010 season," he said. "They returned to Belgium after finishing adventures in England, Spain, Portugal, and Qatar. Both Perton from Anderlecht and Alderweireld from Antwerp have officially retired."
The two assistants who were with Son Heung-min took off their soccer boots.
When Son scored a 70-meter dribble goal against Burnley in the 2019-2020 season, Perton gave Son a pass and scored an assist. With this goal, Son won the FIFA Puskas Award, which honors the best goal of the year.
Alderweireld was also a key center back in the 2018-2019 season and led Son Heung-min to the runner-up finish in the UEFA Champions League.
The retirement of the two players is expected to have a lot of impact on Son Heung-min, who is nearing the end of his career. There may be fans who want to see Son Heung-min retire after playing abroad and returning to his home country of Belgium. 바카라
Attention is focusing on what choice Son Heung-min, who is rumored to transfer to Saudi Arabia about a year before the expiration of his contract with Tottenham, will make after seeing the retirement of his two best friends.
