Son Heungmin, a very important and great example
Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski paid tribute to club captain Son Heung-min.
"Kulusevski paid tribute to Son Heung-min, who inspired him and made it his mission to keep Tottenham moving forward."
Tottenham will wrap up the season after the 38th round of the English Premier League in the 2023-24 season against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England, at 0:00 a.m. on the 20th.
If they secure a point in this game, Tottenham will confirm its fifth place in the league and advance to the UEFA Europa League next season. As the opponent is Sheffield, ranked 20th, which has just been confirmed to be demoted, it is expected to end with a comfortable victory for Tottenham.
Ahead of the final match, Kulusevskiy expressed his respect for Son's leadership, drawing attention. Son was appointed as Tottenham's captain before the start of this season. In Tottenham's 141-year history, which was founded in 1882, Son is the first non-European player to captain its team.
According to the media, Kulusevskiy said, "Son Heung-min is very important. He is our captain and an excellent example for all of us," adding, "We follow him and try to help him as much as possible."
"Everyone has to take responsibility. Only the captain cannot take responsibility. We are growing and learning," he said. "We have to show more every day and stay there for the team in difficult moments. That is where we always have to step up and help the team."
With only one game left until the end of the season, Son scored 17 goals and nine assists in the league this season, scoring the most offensive points in Tottenham. Thanks to Son's performance, Tottenham, which was ranked eighth last season, is now in fifth place and can advance to the European competition next season.
This season, Son Heung-min has become one of Tottenham's and Premier League legends, winning 400 games in Tottenham's career, his 160th goal in the club, and 300 games in the Premier League.
Son will challenge for another milestone in the final match against Sheffield. If he posts a single assist in the final match, he will achieve double-digit assists in the league to achieve his third career Premier League "10-10." In the 2019-2020 season (11 goals and 10 assists) and the 2020-2021 season (17 goals and 10 assists), Son scored double-digit goals in both the league.
Not many players have made more than 10 goals and 10 assists three times in Premier League history. Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah is the only active player who has recorded it three times, and Didier Drogba, a former Chelsea striker, holds this record.
Manchester United legend Eric Cantona and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard scored 10 goals and 10 assists four times and Wayne Rooney five times. 토토사이트 순위
Son Heung-min made several good scoring chances in the 37th round home game against Burnley on the 11th, but failed to score an attack point as his teammates failed to take advantage of it. Attention is expected to be focused on whether Kulusevski, who said he wanted to help Son Heung-min, will help Son achieve 10-10 in the final match.
