Son Heung-min, who started with Manchester City in the 24th round of the 2020-2021 English Premier League, played 120 minutes in the round of 16 of the Everton and FA Cup three days ago and then played all 90 minutes full-time. Whoscore.com website capture-I was completely exhausted and lethargic, but there is a reason to digest 90 minutes.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham) played full time with Manchester City held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 14th (Korean time), and played in the 24th round of the 2020-2021 English Premier League.
In this match, Tottenham was defeated 0-3 after a one-sided match. A game that had a very clear aftereffect from the FA Cup round of 16 against Everton just 3 days ago. Tottenham weren’t in a position to face Manchester City, who leads the Premier League this season.
If it wasn’t for goalkeeper Hugo Lorris’ last save, who allowed three goals, the difference could have been wider. In this day’s match, Tottenham were disappointed that Harry Kane did not take advantage of the decisive scoring opportunity in the first half and Gareth Bale, who was substituted in the second half.
Son Heung-min, who had a very limited opportunity to show off his strengths against a tight opponent’s defense against a frustrating attack, played 90 minutes full-time this day. Director Jose Mourinho used three replacement cards, but Kane and Son Heung-min in the front line did not make any changes.
There is only one reason why Mourinho couldn’t get rid of Son Heung-min, who was exhausted. This is because the second liners Lucas Moura and Eric Lamela, who started together, did not play better.
The soccer statistics website’Huscored.com’ gave Son Heung-min a score of 6.3 points, which means a good performance after the match against Man City. However, Moura and Lamela, who were replaced by starting together, gave 5.9 points. It means it was below average.
On the contrary, the Bale used in the game on behalf of the two received the highest 7.0 points among Tottenham players such as Kane even in the least play time, and Musa Sissoko also received a better evaluation with 6.3 points.
It was clear why manager Mourinho could not get rid of Son Heung-min, who did not get a chance to show his strengths throughout the game. This is because I had to eliminate players who were worse than Son Heung-min.
