[OSEN=강필주 기자] ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham)’s ‘family leadership’ is in the spotlight.
Britain’s ‘Independent’ said on the 18th (Korean time), “Son Heung-min is hoping that he can treat Richarlison through Tottenham’s family-like atmosphere,” and added, “Captain Son Heung-min said the Tottenham family will strongly support Richarlison and help him succeed. “I hope you can regain your confidence,” he said.
Tottenham scored two goals in extra time in the second half of the 2023-2024 season English Premier League (EPL) round 5 home game against Sheffield United on the 16th after falling behind 0-1, resulting in a dramatic 2-1 comeback win.
As a result, Tottenham, who has been undefeated for 5 consecutive games since the opening game, is in 2nd place after Manchester City (11 points), which is winning 5 games in a row.
Tottenham laughed with Dejan Kulusevski’s comeback goal in the 10th minute of added time in the second half of the day. However, Richarlison’s header goal, which came two minutes before Kulusevski’s goal, received more attention.
Richarlison, who started the game on the bench, stepped onto the pitch in the 35th minute of the second half. And Ivan He converted Perisic’s corner kick into an equalizer with a header, setting the stage for a come-from-behind victory.

Richarlison’s goal was significant to both the team and the individual. Richarlison attracted attention after he was caught crying during a match for the Brazilian national team. It was reported that he had recently suffered from mental difficulties due to personal history. He went through such a difficult time that he announced that he would seek psychological counseling.
Richarlison transferred from Everton to Tottenham ahead of last season. Expectations were so high that Tottenham willingly paid a transfer fee of 60 million pounds (about 98.7 billion won) and gave Gareth Bale’s number 9 shirt.
But Richarlison’s debut season at Tottenham ended in disappointment. This is because he only scored 3 goals in 35 games, including 1 goal in 27 league games. Above all, he left something to be desired in terms of his ability to make goals. This sluggishness continued to the Brazilian national team, but Masugeul finally scored a goal of the season.
It was Tottenham’s teammates who welcomed Richarlison’s goal more than anyone else. After the game ended, everyone approached Richarlison and shared in the joy. In particular, Son Heung-min focused on highlighting Richarlison more than anyone else.
After becoming captain, Son Heung-min approaches the stands where fans are and greets them after every game. Son Heung-min led the team on this day as well, pushing Richarlison on the back to stand at the front of the team. He set out to revive Richarlison’s spirit.

Fabricio Romano, an expert on the European soccer transfer market, also shared a photo of Son Heung-min turning the spotlight on Richarlison, saying, “Captain mentality ON…I have nothing to say. I just respect him.”
Son Heung-min said after the game, “Not only me, but everyone in the squad and the club were really happy for Richie (Richarlison’s nickname). He has had a difficult time and we hope this game will help his confidence.” “He changed the whole game and that’s what we were waiting for,” he praised Richarlison.
“Ricci and everyone else will not be happy when they don’t start, but we want Ivan (Perisic), Brennan (Johnson), Emerson (Royal) and Pierre (Emil Hojbjerg) to come out and make a difference like he did. “I know how important it is to give,” he added.
Son Heung-min said, “Everyone did really well. It’s important to stay focused. Everyone is happy for Richie. Richie is really strong and has a good personality. He can recover quickly at any time, but when things are difficult, there are good people around him.” “It is necessary,” he emphasized.

“I always try to be friends with him. If he needs anything, I can help with my experience or my game. I think everyone is behind him and helping. He has done an amazing job for this club.” I felt proud.
Son Heung-min said: “Ricci has obviously had a very difficult time and a difficult season, but I was really happy, probably happier than he was. We need him as a team. He has really good qualities, but his confidence is very different. “Of course I wanted to hug him, and he really showed his true worth,” he said, praising Richarlison.
“We are still going, especially big games like this are making us stickier and closer together as a team,” Son said. .

“Everyone works for each other, everyone plays for each other, everyone fights for each other. Even if someone goes out, everyone is happy to help,” he said. “It makes us really strong as a team and as a group. We’re getting really close. “I hope we can become stronger than we are now,” he expressed his hope. /letmeout@osen.co.kr
