Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou right and Son Heung-min.
"Sonny Son Heung-min scored against me in the 2015 Australia Asian Cup. That was enough."
Ange Postecoglou, the coach of Tottenham's undefeated path in the English Premier League EPL this season, said this to the story of Son Heung-min, who is the captain and responsible for the frontline attack. Harry Kane, the leading goal scorer who played until last season, left, but he mentioned why he trusted Son Heung-min without recruiting a substitute.
According to major British media, including the Guardian, on the 6th, Postecoglou opened his mouth to predicting Son Heung-min as Kane's replacement at a press conference a day before the EPL 11th round home game against Chelsea. "Son Heung-min scored a goal against me then the head coach of Australia at the 2015 Asian Cup. I've seen enough that he's a good goalscorer. He stressed that he was always a threat to the goal.
"I don't think it's realistic to bring in a player who will score 25 to 30 goals instead of Kane in the transfer market," he said. "I thought Son Heung-min would fit in really well." It wasn't the only option I was looking at, but he was probably the best fit for reality as a team, what we needed."
So far this season, Son has scored eight goals in the league alone, ranking second in scoring. This is a faster scoring trend than the 2021-2022 season, which won the top scorer 23 goals. 메이저사이트
Coach Postecoglou stressed, "The more Son Heung-min plays, the more he will be a player who threatens the opponent's goal and will be a huge asset for the team."
He also described his relationship with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, who is known for his strict personality, as "healthy." Coach Postecoglou, who said, "I hope it will continue to help the team develop," said, "The relationship with chairman Levy is similar to the relationship I have with the major decision-makers of other clubs. We can communicate in various ways. Of course, I don't have to hang out with him or talk to him every day," he said.
Son Heung-min will try to score his ninth league goal against Chelsea. Coincidentally, the head of the opponent team is Mauricio Pochettino Argentina, who led his Tottenham debut. Reunited as an enemy after four years.
