– The number of Son Heung-min’s’Wonder Goals’ among the goals is also confirmed. Statistics company Understat revealed that Son Heung-min’s expected goals against Arsenal were 0.02. Expected score is a number obtained by analyzing data such as shooting position, distance to goal, shooting angle, and pass type. In short, 0.02 means that it was a difficult goal, enough to enter 2 times in 100 shots.

Understat pointed Son Heung-min as’the deadliest finisher in Europe in the last 5 years’. Son Heung-min has scored 61 goals since August 2016, which is 19 goals more than expected (42.4 goals). As for the percentage, it was 44.41% more, far ahead of 3rd place Lionel Messi (Barcelona, ​​21.31%) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus, 0.67%). This means that Son Heung-min scored many goals with a difficult shot in a difficult situation.

It is highly likely that the hell training that Son Heung-min used with his father (Son Woong-jeong, 59) as a child helped improve his shooting ability. In February 2011 while playing for Hamburg (Germany), Son Heung-min hit 1,000 shots with his father in his hometown, Chuncheon, Gangwon, 500 times with his right foot and 500 times with his left foot every day for five weeks. Son Heung-min said, “I stuffed the fallen sugar by putting chocolate and bananas in my mouth. I remembered the scene of’Fear of Foreigners’ I saw in the past,” he confessed in his autobiography.

Tottenham will play the Premier League game at home at 5:15 am on the 14th. Opponent changed from Aston Villa to Fulham. Due to the outbreak of a coronavirus outbreak in the Aston Villa club, the fight against Fulham, which was postponed on the 31st of last month, was decided instead. Two days ago, Son Heung-min, who was completely absent from the FA Cup round of 64, tries to score the most goals in the league in a single season. Son Heung-min, who scored 12 goals this season, scored 14 goals, the most individual in 2016-17.
