Tottenham Hotspur, who failed to end their losing streak, currently has only 26 points and dropped to fifth place.
Son Heung-min looked melancholy after the game. It feels like I haven’t gotten over the failure yet. Even so, Son Heung-min, who took the microphone as the captain, apologized to the fans first. According to the British “Metro” report, Son Heung-min said: “I’m sorry to the fans. Three consecutive defeats is certainly not the result we want, but the encouragement from the fans keeps us confident. As I prepare for next weekend’s game, I feel a greater sense of responsibility.” “
Son Heung-min doesn’t just take care of the fans. Teammates who tried their best on the field also gave comfort. Son Heung-min “I did everything to win this game until the end. It was a difficult result. It was difficult for me to accept the defeat. But as captain, what I can say is that all the players did their best to win.” Maximum effort. We still created good scoring opportunities and are giving everything we have.” He also expressed the hope that fans understand the efforts of his teammates.
He said: “I think when we led 1-0, we should control the situation on the field. We respected the opponent but made a few mistakes. We started to get into the state (in the second half) very slowly. After the goal was ruled offside, we Not calm enough and always has been. At the same time, the pace of the game has dropped, giving opportunities to the opponents. The game has become difficult.”
Finally, Son Heung-min said: “But I am still very grateful to my teammates who showed everything under difficult circumstances. But (three consecutive losses) this is a difficult situation to accept. No matter how good the game is, in the end you can only talk about the result. Create The course of the opportunity and the way we played was great. I am really happy. But if I lose the game, especially at home, I will be very heartbroken,” and strongly expressed that now it is time to win a victory to cheer up .
Even so, Tottenham Hotspur has been the first to score a goal in three consecutive games. The goal was scored by Giovanni Lo Celso, who started in place of the injured James Maddison. In the 22nd minute of the first half, a corner kick was taken and the ball was cleared out of the penalty area. The ball flew to the feet of Lo Celso, who was not being marked, and he volleyed the goal. But in the end, Villa overtook the score. In fact, Tottenham once had the possibility of widening the score.
But what prevented Son Heung-min from scoring was not other than unfortunate offside. There were 3 offside goals in this game.
With this defeat, Tottenham Hotspur set another historical record. The football statistics media “Squash” reported: “Tottenham Hotspur is the first team in the history of the Premier League to remain unbeaten in the first 10 games of the season and lose in the next 3 games.”
Tottenham Hotspur’s current decline has only occurred three times in the history of the English Premier League. Another football statistics media “OPTA” mentioned: “Tottenham Hotspur is the third team in the history of the English Premier League after Huddersfield City in the 1924-25 season and Sheffield United in the 1971-72 season. A team that goes unbeaten in 10 games and loses the next three.”
Tottenham Hotspur may set an even worse record in the next round. The opponent is Manchester City, which ranks second in the league.
After Son Heung-min moved to Tottenham Hotspur, he won 9 out of 17 games against Manchester City. The total score is 9 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses. The problem is that 5 of the 7 losses came at Manchester City away from home. Tottenham Hotspur are very strong when facing Manchester City at home, but often fail to show their strength at Manchester City’s home court.
All we can look forward to is the performance of captain Son Heung-min. In 17 games with Manchester City, Son Heung-min scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists. He is known to the world as Manchester City’s full-time killer. It is worth mentioning that in the 2018-19 European Football Union (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) top 8, he scored the winning goal in the first game and multiple goals in the second game, which is considered to be Son Heung-min’s historic performance. one.
Last season Tottenham lost 2-4 to Manchester City. After scoring 2 goals in advance, they conceded 4 goals in a row and finally collapsed. This is a similar trend to Tottenham Hotspur, which recently suffered three consecutive defeats. Even though they took the lead, they failed to hold on and collapsed. The same mistake cannot be repeated against Manchester City. If you fall into the quagmire of 4 consecutive losses, you will face the risk of ranking down again.
Heading into the game against Manchester City, coach Forstko Gru said he will continue to play attacking football. “I say it again, the result is really disappointing. It will be even more disappointing for our fans and especially for the players because the players felt that the football we wanted was played well. On another day, This is probably a game that we win easily. Although losing is not satisfying, that’s how it is when building a team. “I saw a lot of what the team wanted in this game”, praising the players them.Return to Sohu to see more
