Son Heung-min (31)’s performance shines both on his own team and on the national team. He has shown outstanding performance in scoring and playmaking this season, and is doing his part in any position.
National team captain Son Heung-min started and played for 89 minutes in a friendly match against Saudi Arabia held at St. James Park in Newcastle, England on the 13th (Korean time). Deployed to the front with Cho Gyu-seong, he led the attack by moving widely across the front line, creating opportunity after opportunity. Korea won 1-0 thanks to Cho Gyu-sung’s go-ahead goal in the 32nd minute of the first half. This is the first win in 6 games since coach Jurgen Klinsmann took charge.
Son Heung-min moved freely and led the attack against Wales on the 8th. At that time, Klinsmann recorded 4 shots and 1 effective shot, and among them, Son Heung-min alone recorded 3 shots. The first half of the game against Wales was particularly frustrating, but the moment Son Heung-min caught the ball gave us some breathing room. Coach Klinsmann granted Son Heung-min a ‘free roll’ that allows him to move freely in the offensive zone.
Son Heung-min is playing both scoring and playmaking roles at his team, Tottenham in the English Premier League (EPL).
Son Heung-min also takes on the role of playmaker, replacing Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), who left Tottenham. According to Sofa Score, a soccer statistics media, Son Heung-min, who played as a left attacker for Tottenham, recorded eight key passes (passes that led to shots) in the first three league games.
He also shined on the front line. When Tottenham striker Richarlison performed poorly, Son Heung-min came to the forefront. ‘Front line striker’ Son Heung-min completed a hat trick by scoring 3 goals with 3 effective shots against Burnley on the 2nd. He immediately ranked 30th on the EPL’s all-time career scoring list (106 goals). 바카라사이트
The British Daily Mail released the 2023-24 EPL Power Rankings on the 6th, and Son Heung-min took first place. The media said, “Tottenham manager Enzi Postekoglou is leading the strong pressure. “We played a successful game by showing sharp shooting when necessary,” he praised. Son Heung-min’s name is included in the best 11 of the fourth round released by various media outlets, including the EPL Secretariat and the BBC.
Son Heung-min, who continued his upward trend in international matches, heads to the EPL again. There are predictions that Tottenham will go out with ‘nails’ again.
Richarlison joined the Brazilian national team during the September international match, but performed poorly in both games he started and was replaced in the second half. There were several offsides and big chance misses. Spurs Web, which covers Tottenham news, said, “Son Heung-min, who scored a hat trick, is expected to now play in the number 9 (striker) position. “Richarlison will not get many opportunities,” he predicted.
