[OSEN=서정환 기자] Behind Richarlison’s (26, Tottenham) revival, there was the consideration and advice of ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham).
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 succeeded in turning the situation 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.
Son Heung-min, who has already scored his 11th league goal, said, “I have always trained for goals in my soccer career. 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.
There was Son Heung-min’s advice behind Richarlison’s revival. Son Heung-min recommended Richarlison to have a quick surgery, and he accepted. Son Heung-min helped Richarlison in both material and spiritual ways for his rehabilitation.
Son Heung-min 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 plays like he is now, he could become the best striker in the Premier League,” he praised his colleague. / jasonseo34@osen.co.kr
