Son Heung-min (28) once again showed off his’one shot one kill’ ability, showing off his upgraded determination. Although the team suffered a regrettable defeat, local praise for Son Heung-min poured out.
Tottenham lost 1-2 in the 13th round of the 2020-21 English Premier League (EPL) against Liverpool at Anfield in Liverpool, England on the morning of the 17th (Korean time). Liverpool took the lead with 8 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss, and 28 points, while Tottenham came in second with 7 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses and 25 points.
On this day, coach Jose Mourinho came out with a blatant tactic of’first defense and then counterattack’. In the first half, Liverpool’s 80-Tottenham had only 20%.
EPL scorer Chris Sutton in the 1997-98 season, who was in his prime at Blackburn Rovers, said, “The first match against Liverpool, which has many injuries, is a great opportunity for Tottenham to win.” It’s not that there will be a number of games in the game. It’s not the Morinew style,” he predicted.
He then expressed his view that “but with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, we could be harassing Liverpool enough.”
Liverpool dominated the game with the kickoff, and Tottenham crouched. Then he believed in Kane and Son Heung-min in the front. The typical case was an aggressive 4-4-2, but in reality, he aimed for a counter attack after blocking. It was a form of leaning on the decision power of the two players, and Son Heung-min answered that belief.
Son Heung-min opened the goal of Liverpool by accurately breaking the defensive line when Rosso scattered a through pass under the half line in the 33rd minute of being dragged to 0-1, infiltrating and calming control, and then attempted a right foot shot. It was Tottenham’s first shot that day, and it was truly one shot, one kill.
After the match, the British Evening Standard praised the move to break the line, saying, “At the only chance I have come, I scored a goal with a finish like his trademark. Given Son Heung-min’s infiltrate behind the scenes, it is impossible to raise the defensive line high.” After that, he evaluated, “”Son Heung-min’s finishing work is becoming more and more fatal.”
In fact, it is boasting excellent determination this season. Records prove. Son Heung-min, who scored his 11th goal in the regular league alone, took the lead in the scoring race with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). It was the 14th gun in various competitions, and with the help of seven, Son Heung-min has already created 21 attack points.
This day’s goal was also the 99th goal scored by Son Heung-min wearing a Tottenham uniform. British Telegraph highlighted the team’s ace-level performance by saying, “The 99th goal in Tottenham’s career showed why Son Heung-min is becoming the centerpiece of the Morinyu system.” One of the symbolic points, 100 goals, is left.
Son Heung-min, who scored a total of 50 goals in the German Bundesliga from 2010 to 2015, including three seasons in Hamburg and three seasons in Leverkusen, has already scored 99 goals in five years at Tottenham. Son Heung-min is not a waste of the expression Ilchwiwoljang.
The BBC of the UK introduced Son Heung-min as a “world class striker” saying, “Tottenham was overwhelmed by Liverpool for 30 minutes after the start of the game. But he calmly finished and made up for one opportunity that Son Heung-min came to.” At one time, there was an excitement among fans, but this is Son Heung-min, who became a real world class.
