Jamie O’Hara, who is frustrated by Mourinho football, “The only player who invades is Son Heung-min.”
[골닷컴] Reporter Man-Sung Han = Midfielder Jamie O’Hara (34), who played an active part in Tottenham in the past, expressed concern that Son Heung-min (28) does not seem to be enjoying the football pursued by Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho.
Tottenham was running at the top of the league until the 13th round match of the 2020/21 English Premier League against Liverpool on the 17th (Korean time), just about 10 days ago. At this point, Tottenham continued to win and win 11 games in a row in the Premier League. Some expressed anticipation that Tottenham had a chance to win the league in 60 years.

However, Tottenham only added one point in their recent three matches, losing 1-2 to Liverpool, 0-2 to Leicester City and 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton. Tottenham’s ranking plummeted to 7th in the league.
Oh-hara, who became a broadcaster after his retirement from active duty, received an interesting question on English radio’TalkSport’ about Tottenham and Wolverhampton finished 1-1 on the 28th (Korean time). The host was asked,’Will the players in the Tottenham attack team enjoy Mourinho’s football?’ Oh-hara replied, “Son didn’t look like he enjoyed it last night.”

“Tottenham had a 3-5-2 formation this day,” Ohhara said, “It was a good tactical choice. In the first half, Tottenham took the lead and led the tempo. But what I want to ask is, after Tottenham scored the opening goal, it was a good choice. “Why is the speed, the intrusion movement of players who do not own the ball, the infiltration through the back space, etc.? The only thing in Tottenham that can do this is Son Heung-min.”
“Aside from Son Heung-min, Tottenham’s flanks are Matt Doherty and Sergio Regilon. They don’t have an explosive speed. Harry Kane can come down between the lines, but he’s not a speed player. That’s why. Unless Kane connects a pass to Son Heung-min who infiltrates into the back space, Tottenham has no such attack route. Kane and Son Heung-min cannot do everything,” he pointed out.
Son Heung-min is scoring 14 goals and 7 assists in 23 games, including the cup tournament this season. He is currently the top scorer among Tottenham players this season, overtaking Kane (9) with 11 goals in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Ohhara made her premier league debut in 2007/08 after going through the Tottenham Youth Academy. During his active career, he played 56 games at Tottenham, including the Cup, and scored 7 goals.
