Son Heung-min Sends a Warning to Arsenal Ahead of North London Derby

‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham) sent a warning to Arsenal, who will face them on the 24th, ahead of the North London derby.

According to the British ‘Football London’ on the 20th (Korean time), Son Heung-min said through the British ‘Times’, “(Arsenal) will not want to face us now,” and “Everyone is playing for each other and everyone is for each other. “We are fighting,” he said, emphasizing the local Tottenham atmosphere.

Tottenham, led by new head coach Angie Postekoglou, is on an undefeated streak in the English Premier League (EPL) this season. In 5 games, they have accumulated 13 points with 4 wins and 1 draw, including 4 consecutive wins, and are in 2nd place after Manchester City (15 points).

Above all, the drastic change compared to last season is impressive. Under coach Postekoglou, who focuses on attacking soccer, more than two goals are being scored in every game.

The content of the game is also impressive. In the home game against Sheffield United held on the 16th, Tottenham had a dramatic laugh by scoring two goals in extra time in the second half when they were down 0-1.

In particular, Tottenham’s recent atmosphere has reached its peak as Richarlison, who was depressed, scored a dramatic equalizer. With Son Heung-min appointed as captain, Tottenham is playing soccer for each other not only during the game but also after the game.

In the midst of this, Son Heung-min’s Tottenham faced Arsenal, their opponent in the North London derby. In last season’s North London derby, Arsenal lopsidedly took two wins. However, it was a confrontation with a tense atmosphere of back and forth every season.

Son Heung-min did not hide his expectations for the Arsenal game, emphasizing, “Even if someone goes out, if they come in and help someone, everyone is happy about it. That’s really making us stronger as a team.”

On the 18th, the British newspaper ‘Independent’ praised Son Heung-min’s ‘family leadership’, saying, “We hope that Son Heung-min can heal Richarlison through Tottenham’s family-like atmosphere.”

It was emphasized that Son Heung-min was most pleased when Richarlison, who scored only 3 goals in 35 games last season, scored his biggest goal of the season. Son Heung-min, who was actually substituted during the game and was sitting on the bench, focused on highlighting Richarlison more than anyone else after the game.

After becoming captain, Son Heung-min approaches the stands where fans are and greets them after every game. Son Heung-min led the team on this day as well, pushing Richarlison on the back to stand at the front of the team. He set out to revive Richarlison’s spirit.

Fabricio Romano, an expert on the European soccer transfer market, also shared a photo of Son Heung-min turning the spotlight on Richarlison, saying, “Captain’s mentality is ON… I have nothing to say. I just respect him.”

Son Heung-min said, “Rich (Richarlison’s nickname) and everyone else will not be happy when they don’t start, but we will support Ivan (Perisic), Brennan (Johnson), Emerson (Royal) and Pierre (just like he did). “I know how important it is to come out and make a difference, like Emil Hojbjerg,” he said.

Above all, Son Heung-min said: “We are still going, especially big games like this are making us stickier and closer as a team. “Obviously I don’t think you can compare to a real family, but we are getting really close in the dressing room.” It has been emphasized.

Of course, the opponent Arsenal is also formidable this season. Although they are in 4th place, they have 13 points (4 wins, 1 draw) like Tottenham. Arsenal, who started this season by winning the FA Community Shield against Liverpool, have yet to lose.

The North London derby, which will be played between Tottenham and Arsenal at 10 p.m. on the 24th, is attracting more attention as it is an important game that can determine the direction of the Premier League’s top four this season. Tottenham will face Liverpool on October 1st following the match against Arsenal. /[email protected]
