In particular, Son Heung-min was respected by fans and the club as he did his best to lead the team to victory even though he was in an incomplete condition, as he is not in 100% physical condition.
Reporter Paul O'Keefe, who is familiar with Tottenham's internal news, said on SNS on the 4th that Son Heung-min recently had a problem with his groin, adding, "I don't train every day these days. I am currently managing the amount of training so that I can play on the weekend," he said.
Coach Postecoglou also said in an interview with "Football London" on the 2nd, "Son Heung-min was not 100% against Liverpool, but he was desperate for the game. He tried to give everything he could, and he did."
"Son Heung-min will never play all 90 minutes," he said. "We always tried to give him about 60 minutes, but Son Heung-min again led the front and put pressure on him. The captain's efforts were great because he also scored a goal," he added. 스포츠토토
Tottenham, which finished eighth in the league last season thanks to Son Heung-min's performance as captain, succeeded in rebounding as it is in the beginning of the season but is currently in second place. Son Heung-min also participated in the Premier League scoring race once again after the 2021/22 season, scoring the most goals after "monster striker" Erling Holan (8 goals, Manchester City).
