Tottenham was scheduled to play the second leg of the 2023-2024 pre-season against Leicester City at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on the 23rd at 7:00 pm (hereinafter Korean time). However, it rained heavily before the match. The players warmed up in the rain, but the ground turned into a ‘paddy field’ due to poor drainage.

Lines such as the touch line and center circle were also erased. Eventually, after waiting for 40 minutes, it was decided to cancel the match.
Tottenham said on its website, “The friendly match against Leicester City has been canceled due to a flooded pitch and bad weather.” “The organizers of the event, on the advice of match officials, determined that the match was impossible and unsafe due to heavy rain.”
Son Heung-min was scheduled to make his debut in the preseason on this day. Coach Enze Postecoglu announced the best 11 of the 4-3-3 system.
Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, and Dejan Kulusevski were named in the three-top lineup, while James Madison, Yves Bisuma, and Pierre-Emile Hoivier were scheduled to start in the central midfield.
Destiny Udozi, Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Pedro Poro in the back four and Guglielmo Vicario in goal. Son Heung-min missed the 2-3 defeat against West Ham on the 18th.
“Son Heung-min has only trained twice since joining the team in Australia, so I decided not to use him,” Postecoglu said after the match against West Ham.
Tottenham fans are voicing their voices over the cancellation of the game. Local fans in the UK can watch all pre-season matches by paying £45 (about 75,000 won) through a ‘Spursplay’ subscription.
However, the game to watch was reduced by one game. It is also dissatisfying that the match against AS Roma was canceled. Instead, AS Roma will be replaced by Singapore’s Lion City.
Fans said: ‘Going to Thailand during the rainy season is a very questionable decision’, ‘The first game I watched on Spurs TV was plagued by technical problems. The second game was canceled. Can I get a refund for Spurs play?
Tottenham’s pre-season journey is not smooth. Reporter Seongwon Kim newsme@sportschosun.com
