JAKARTA - Son Heungmin is paid Tottenham Hotspurs 200 thousand per week. With such a large salary, Son could use a private jet to travel.

However, the South Korean national team captain chose a simple life by taking the train on his way to Cardiff last weekend. He used the mode of transportation with his team-mate, Ben Davies.

Son and Ben headed for Cardiff to join the national team for a friendly against Wales at William Collum, Scotland, September 8, early morning WIB.

Arriving in the capital Wish, both Son and Ben immediately joined their respective national teams. The two of them were seen walking casually at the Cardiff Central Station around Sunday, September 3, at 17.30 local time or one day after Spurs' victory.

Quoted from The Sun, Thursday, September 7, after getting off the commuter train Son and Ben hugged in the platform before continuing their respective journey. Son then headed to Cardiff Bay where Jurgen Klinsmann's Korean squad was based.

While Davies traveled west to the Vale of Glamorgan headquarters in Wales. It's refreshing to see this wealthy duo doing things like people in general.

The friendly match between South Korea and Wales finally ended with a score of 0-0. Son and Ben played full in this match.

Son is Tottenham's new captain after Hugo Lloris' departure. Postecoglou's Spurs are now second in the standings after collecting 10 points from the first four Premier League games.
