[OSEN=강필주 기자] Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham) started scoring after a long time. However, concerns continue to exist in that it is a replacement business trip.
On the 20th (Korean time), Son Heung-min started the game from the bench, not from the start, in the round 24 match against West Ham United. Richarlison started instead. It was Son Heung-min who was pushed back to serve after 17 games after being pushed as a substitute in the 8th round match against Leicester City last September.
Son Heung-min showed his presence in every crisis. Even when he played against Leicester City, he scored a hat trick in the 28th minute of the second half and solved the problem himself. Son Heung-Min came on in the 23rd minute of the second half with a 1-0 lead this time and scored a key goal in the 4th minute.
Tottenham praised him as “super sub Son Heung-min” on official social media. Son Heung-min even uploaded a video of the goal scene recorded that day to publicize his performance. He was put in as a substitute, but it meant that he showed a presence equal to that of the starter.
In response, defender Alan Hutton (39) from the English Premier League (EPL), who played for Tottenham and Aston Villa, said in an interview with England’s ‘Football Insider’, “The problem is that no one wants to be labeled a super sub.” “Because I want to play as a starter.”
He continued, “I don’t think Son Heung-min will continue to be replaced. He played a lot of games, so his form just had a slight slump.” “And bring it back and make an impact on the game. That’s what he did. He’s set up high enough to expect him to play at that level every week.”
Tottenham will have a 25th round home game against Chelsea on the 26th. Most local media predict that Son Heung-min will start again. /[email protected]
