Son Heung-min, Tottenham’s captain and legend, visited Tottenham’s youth players on the 19th (Korea time) and had a Christmas party. Tottenham defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the 17th round of the 2023-24 Premier League held at the City Ground in Nottingham, England, on the 16th, when Hishalisson and Dejan Kulusevski scored goals. Tottenham (33 points, +12) with two consecutive wins maintained its fifth place, with no point difference from Manchester City (33 points, +20 points), which played one game less. Nottingham (14 points) is in 16th place.
Captain Son Heung-min, who started as a left winger, played 88 minutes. As a left flanker, Son actively participated in the attack with several threatening shots, but failed to score offensive points. Still, he managed to garner concentrated checks from his opponents by displaying flimsy moves.
Tottenham changed its direction to a header in the 47th minute of the first half when Hishalisson flooded the cross that Kulusevski put up with his left foot. The goalkeeper couldn’t use his hands and it became the first goal. Hishalisson survived by scoring two consecutive goals for the first time. Tottenham, who kept tapping, finally scored an additional goal. Son Heung-min pressed strongly when the goalkeeper caught the ball in the 20th minute of the second half. The panicked goalkeeper kicked it off with a goal kick, but Tottenham caught the ball. Kulusevski’s strong right footed shot shook the net.
However, in the 24th minute of the second half when the team was leading 2-0, Bissouma made a dirty play by kicking the opponent’s shin. The referee stopped the game and conducted a video review. The referee ordered Bissouma to leave the game directly. Tottenham had to endure about 20 minutes with 10 players remaining. 사설 토토사이트
Son Heung-min played 88 minutes and was replaced by Emerson Royal. It was a calculation to protect the ace and secure the victory. In the end, Tottenham, who kept 8 minutes of extra time well, secured 3 points. Tottenham won two consecutive games after a long time with a clean sheet.
The game showed Son’s role change due to the change of position. Son caught more balls than when he appeared as a one-top player on the day, but became the target of intensive checks by his opponent. Nottingham, a three-back, tried to block the development of the ball by attaching two defenders exclusively to Son.
Still, various attacks were derived thanks to Son Heung-min’s derision. In fact, Hishalisson and Kulusevski, who have good form, naturally unraveled after returning to injury. It is safe to say that it was helpful for Son Heung-min to lead the opponent while playing similarly to the playmaker on the left.
Including this game, Son Heung-min has been active as the core of the team this season. He is receiving the trust of the team not only as an attack but also as a captain. In many ways, it is a season when evaluations rise rapidly. Especially when other key players are struggling with injuries or dismissals, he is showing off his dignity in all games.
As such, Son’s status has entered the irreplaceable realm. The scoring record is also supported by Tottenham with Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane all gone. Son Heung-min, in particular, is a role model and idol among Tottenham fans and youth.
Such Son Heung-min turned into a Santa and visited Youth. He visited Tottenham Youth, which is dedicated to training, and had a Christmas party. Wearing a Santa hat, he enjoyed taking pictures with young players and successfully motivated them. In the photo with the youth players and the leader, Son was called the “main man” and made him realize his popularity.
