In 2023, there is a desperate need for a goal to carry on horseback. Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham) is eyeing his first goal of the new year in the English Premier League (EPL).
Tottenham will play an away match against Crystal Palace in round 19 of the 2022-2023 EPL at Selhurst Park in London, England at 5am (Korean time) on the 5th.
Tottenham (30 points), who are aiming for the right to participate in the European Football Association’s (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) next season, faced a grim 2023. It was difficult to hold on to 4th in the league, but after a 2-2 draw with Brentford on the 26th of last month, they were defeated by Aston Villa 0-2 on 1st and dropped to 5th.
Manchester United (35 points), who were looking for an opportunity, recently overtook Tottenham and climbed to fourth place with four consecutive league wins.
The more Tottenham are in crisis, the more attention is focused on key striker Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min, top scorer in the EPL with 23 goals last season, remains within 3 league goals this season. The news of the Beast Girl’s goal in 2023 is still there.
The last goal Tottenham tasted was in the UCL group stage of the 2022-2023 season with Frankfurt in October last year. At that time, Son Heung-min scored more goals, but there was no goal after that.
The league score dates back to September last year. Son Heung-min, who had remained silent this season, scored a hat-trick against Leicester City in the 8th round of the EPL, scoring all the 1st to 3rd goals of the season.
Son Heung-min’s recent slowness is greatly affected by an orbital fracture injury. In November last year, in the final match between Marseille (France) and the UCL group stage, Son Heung-min suffered a left face injury and even underwent surgery.
Son Heung-min, who wore a black mask and digested the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar as captain of the Korea national football team, had a hard time because of the mask. I took off my mask during the last Aston Villa match, but my physical condition hasn’t improved yet.
Tottenham’s attack is not regular due to the injuries of Hischarlisson and Dejan Kulusevski. Also, he’s going through a difficult time, which is superimposed on defensive anxiety.
The recent confrontation with Crystal Palace (22 points), who occupy 11th place in the league, is a December match of the 2021-2022 season (3-0 victory for Tottenham). However, the opponent has escaped a two-game losing streak and the momentum is building.
In particular, Tottenham are desperate for victory and a reversal of atmosphere, as they face a series of games against leaders Arsenal (44 points) in 16th and second placed Manchester City (36 points). , at the 20th.
