Son responds to De Bruyne: Of course new stadium can help us

Tottenham attacker Son Heung-min has responded to Kevin de Bruyne's comments and Spurs' new stadium.

Mauricio Pochettino's side finally moved into their multi-million pound new home last week and Pep Guardiola's side will be the first to visit in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

But, De Bruyne shut down claims that the new stadium will have an impact on the result.

"I don't care about the stadium,” De Bruyne said. “I care about the team we play. Everybody talks about the stadium like it's something special. Everybody has a stadium. Everybody has supporters. They'll be up for it.

“They'll probably be a little bit more excited but in the end it's a stadium with supporters. If they go to Wembley with 80,000 or there with 62,000, it's going to be the same. It'll be a tough game but I think we'll be all right.”

But Son believes the new stadium can be beneficial.

"Of course [the atmosphere can help]. Maybe the City players don't realise because they've always played at home, but we've played away from home for almost two years. We've missed our home a lot," Son said response to De Bruyne's comments at Spurs' press conference on Monday afternoon.

"When you play away you feel pressure as well but playing at home we should enjoy the moment," he added. "City are a strong side like us and we should enjoy it and have fun against a big side in our new stadium. It will be amazing."
