Son Heung-min, who joined the South Korean national soccer team earlier this month and is preparing for the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup, “stuck” at his lodging in the 21st round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) against Manchester United at Old Trafford, England on the 15th (Korea time).
He posted a picture of a TV screen featuring a video of Tottenham’s four-back introduction on his personal social network service (SNS) and cheered for his team by shouting Tottenham’s cheering slogan “COYS.”
This is what I expected. Son, who has been playing for Tottenham for nine years since 2015, has more affection for Tottenham than anyone else. He took on the heavy responsibility of leading the team this season with the new captain’s armband. Although I went on a business trip to Qatar for a while, I watched the game hoping that Tottenham would finish its first league game of the year well.
Tottenham drew 2-2 in the match that Son Heung-min watched. Hit by Rasmus Hoirun in the third minute of the first half, Tottenham brought the game back to square one with Hishalisson’s equalizer in the 19th minute. Marcus Rashford scored again in the 40th minute, but Rodrigo Bentancur scored an equalizer in the 1st minute of the second half, earning a valuable point from the enemy.
Son Heung-min is likely to have watched Timo Werner, who was hired on loan to fill his vacancy and increase his attacking options. Werner started as a left-handed striker in Son’s position and actively spent 80 minutes on the offensive before being replaced. He assisted Bentancur’s goal and contributed to the attack, but he failed to send any of his five shots, including two home runs, and was evaluated as a “half success.”
Fans expressed their longing for Son at the scene where Werner dug from the left side of the opponent team to the center and shot with his right foot in the 21st minute of the first half. Son’s unique technique is that he folds down the middle and curls the ball into the corner of the goal. Werner’s shot soared high into the sky.
Son Heung-min said, “It is regrettable that Tottenham, which led the game, failed to win, but I think he applauded to his teammates who fought well in the enemy territory. Tottenham must engage in a top-four battle without Son until Feb. 10 at the most. 토토사이트 순위
Son will play the first group match of the Asian Cup against Bahrain at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Jasim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar. Korea, led by Son, aims to win the title in Asia for the first time in 64 years since 1960.
