‘377G 148 goals 80 assists+PL top scorer’ Son Heung-min would be a Tottenham legend if he left now…”it would be hard to argue”

The British media has confirmed that Son Heung-min is a Tottenham Hotspur legend.

“Even if Son Heung-min were to leave Tottenham now, it would be hard to argue that he is considered a legendary Tottenham striker,” British media outlet GiveMeSports reported on Thursday (June 14).

“Heung-min scored 148 goals and provided 80 assists in 377 games for Tottenham, forming a great partnership with Harry Kane. He was the Premier League (PL) top scorer in the 2021-22 season. He became a Tottenham legend when he became the club’s new captain.”

Heung-min has become a world-class player in his own right, but it was his hard work and his father’s dedication that got him there. Unlike other players, Son Heung-min was trained by his father, a former soccer player himself. His father, Son Woong-jeong, taught him the basics. He went on to attend Northeast High School, and shortly thereafter traveled to Hamburg as part of the Korean Football Association’s youth program.

Living in Europe at such a young age helped him develop step by step. He made his preseason debut for Hamburg in the 2010-11 season at the age of 18, and was quickly promoted to the professional ranks. His talent was noticed in Germany. He scored 41 goals in 135 Bundesliga games over five years with Hamburg and Leverkusen.

He was called up by Mauricio Pochettino to join Tottenham in the PL. At the beginning of his career, he received some unfavorable reviews. His touch was inaccurate and his movement was poor. However, Son made up for it and eventually became one of the best wingers in the PL. He formed a great partnership with Harry Kane and became Tottenham’s main goal scorer.

In the 2020-21 season, he was the PL’s top scorer. While Tottenham struggled, Son was a prolific scorer. He scored 23 goals to finish as the EPL’s joint top scorer with Mohamed Salah. He became the first Asian player to score in all five major leagues. Heung-min is world class. At the time, Son had scored 23 goals without conceding a penalty.

Last season was a bit of a disappointment. He had a rough start to the season and started some games from the bench. He also suffered a major injury in the UEFA Champions League (UCL), fracturing his orbital bone and playing with a mask. This, coupled with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, took a toll on his body. It was even reported that he played through a sports hernia. Nevertheless, Son still managed to score 10 goals and provide six assists in the league.

Along with Son Heung-min’s struggles, Tottenham had one of their worst seasons ever last season. It was Antonio Conte’s first proper season as manager, and a lot was expected of him. Conte is a championship coach. He had won trophies with Juventus, Inter Milan, and more. Tottenham fans wanted him to break the mould. He brought in the likes of Higuain, Perisic, and others.

The team was competitive at the start of the season, and remained in contention for Europe. However, the team began to falter in the run-up to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and Antonio Conte left the club after making critical comments about Tottenham. Assistant coach Christian Stellini took over as acting manager, but was sacked after a 1-6 loss to Newcastle. 온라인카지노

Ryan Mason took over as acting manager, but there was no turnaround. Spurs finished the season in eighth place and failed to qualify for Europe for the first time in 14 years. Cup competitions were also unsatisfactory. Spurs were eliminated in the round of 16 in both the FA Cup and UCL, while the Carabao Cup ended in the round of 32.

The appointment of Enze Postecoglou signaled a new beginning for Spurs. Postecoglou led Celtic to the Domestic Treble last season. However, his lack of big-league experience raised some concerns. He was tipped to be the quickest manager to be sacked in the PL.

This summer, Tottenham let Harry Kane go, but they’ve done well to reinforce. They brought in the likes of Mickey van der Vaart and James Maddison, while bringing in Dejan Klosepski and Pedro Foro outright from loan. A new captain was also named. Son Heung-min was named the new Tottenham captain, with Romero and Maddison serving as vice-captains.

The existing captain was Hugo Llorez and the vice-captains were Harry Kane and Eric Dier. Yoris was on his way out, and Dier was not in Postecoglou’s plans. Kane, a former Tottenham youth player, had been tipped as the next captain, but his move to Bayern Munich meant that Son Heung-min would wear the captain’s armband.

Tottenham announced on their website, “Son Heung-min has been appointed captain of our team. He inherits the captain’s armband from Yoris. James Maddison and Cristian Romero are the new vice-captains. Heung-min, who is also the captain of the South Korea national soccer team, is now entering his ninth season with Tottenham.”

“This season, I want to show that the Sonny we all know is still there,” he said during pre-season. The opening game was a disappointment, as he didn’t look as explosive as he had in the past, and he conceded a penalty for a foul inside the penalty box.

Son Heung-min had a different role. Previously, Son was Tottenham’s main goal scorer. He would get behind the defense and create chances, but this season he’s been more of a helper. He was at the center of the attack, creating chances with crisp passes.

In the fourth round, however, he came up front in place of Lacazette. Coach Enze Postecoglou’s choice paid off. Heung-min scored a hat-trick and Tottenham went on to win 5-2. For his performance, Son was named to the Best 11 for the fourth round. He even climbed to the top of the PL Power Rankings. Kane’s departure was expected to leave a huge gap up front, but the arrival of the nails (Son + Heung-min) eased some of the worries.

Spurs have been on a roll. They drew 2-2 with Brentford in their opening game, but have since won their next three and are unbeaten in four games. They even beat Manchester United 2-0. Currently, Spurs are in second place behind Manchester City. They’re also playing attacking soccer like never before, giving fans something to watch. Spurs have scored 11 goals in four games, second only to Brighton. After the international break, Tottenham will play Sheffield Wednesday on October 16.
