[OSEN=서정환 기자] ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham) cared about Richarlison’s feelings before his own. ;;
Tottenham beat Everton 2-1 in the ’18th round of the 2023-2024 season Premier League’ held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 24th (Korean time). Tottenham (36 points) rose to 4th place, beating 5th place Manchester City (34 points), which had played one less game, by 2 points.
Tottenham took the lead in the 9th minute of the first half with Richarlison’s first goal after receiving a pass from Brennan Johnson. Nine minutes later, Son Heung-min scored an additional goal to seal the victory. Richarlison, who added a goal in a week, has already scored his 5th league goal.
After the game, Son Heung-min said, “As you can see from the second half, you can never be comfortable with a 2-0 lead in the Premier League. Our players did well. I’m happy to get three points. “We fully deserved it,” he said with joy.
Tottenham turned things around by leaping back to 4th place in the league. Son Heung-min said, “In soccer, sometimes you go up and sometimes you fall. It is always important for players to come together. We learned a lot from our mistakes last week. All players learned from the experience. “That’s why I was able to play hard,” he said, creating a warm atmosphere.
The 11th goal in the league also had great significance. Son Heung-min said, “In my soccer career, I always trained for goals. No matter what the situation, he is always ready to score a goal. Only then can you help the team. The same applies when playing on the left. “I like playing for the team,” he explained.
Son Heung-min welcomed Richarlison’s revival more than anyone else. He said, “Richarlison is experiencing a similar slump that I experienced last season. He is always hungry for goals and training. I am happy with his performance. “If Richarlison performs like he is now, he could become the best striker in the Premier League,” he praised. / jasonseo34@osen.co.kr
