It was claimed that the revival of Son Heung-min (31) was greatly influenced by the changed coach. Britain’s TBR Football praised him on the 21st (Korean time), saying, “Son Heung-min has been reborn.” He continued, “It is no exaggeration to say that Tottenham was the worst team in the English Premier League (EPL) at the end of last season. However, this season, under manager Enze Postekoglou, they have become a completely different team.”
The media said, “Coach Postekoglou has done a great job reviving Tottenham. In addition, many players have become much better than last season. Among them, the player who has improved the most is Son Heung-min.” Heung-min Son had a difficult time last season, but this year’s “We are scoring a lot of goals this season,” he explained.
Son Heung-min changed his position to a front-line striker on the side this season. Since then, he has had a fantastic start to the season, scoring 6 goals. He scored a hat-trick in the 4th round of the league against Burnley and scored multiple goals in the 6th round of the North London derby away to Arsenal. He then scored a goal against Liverpool in the 7th round. He is perfectly meeting the expectations of coach Postekoglou, who changed his position.
Son Heung-min, who scored a total of 6 goals, ranks second in scoring after ‘scoring machine’ Erling Haaland (8 goals). While scoring 6 goals in rounds 4 to 7, he completed his 200th career goal in Europe and his 150th goal at Tottenham (currently 151 goals). Tottenham is also in first place, going undefeated with 6 wins and 2 draws (20 points) in the league thanks to Son Heung-min’s performance. Former Tottenham manager and soccer expert Tim Sherwood (54) said on the podcast ‘No Tippy Tappy Football’, “Tottenham players have not changed much from last season. James Maddison was brought in, and Son Heung-min came back to life,” and “Tottenham continues to play well.” “I can guarantee that the current momentum will continue,” he said.
The media explained, “It’s not that Son Heung-min wasn’t able to do well in the past. He needed the right coach to get out of his slump,” and added, “Former coach Antonio Conte was not the right coach for Son Heung-min.” Coach Conte focused on defensive soccer last season, and Son Heung-min also focused on defense rather than attack. The media said, “Coach Postekoglou made good use of Son Heung-min’s offensive ability, and he is exploding again.” He emphasized, “Son Heung-min’s revival and Tottenham’s upward trend are closely related. It is absolutely not a coincidence.”
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, who was called up to the Korea A national team and played in the Vietnam game, recently joined the Tottenham squad. We are preparing for the EPL 9th round home match against Fulham to be held at 4 am on the 24th.
