"I don't see Son Heung-min as the captain."
This is the opinion expressed directly by a British football expert. In the end, Tottenham is in a no-show mood again this season. Although the match has not yet been confirmed, another chance to win was lost after being devastated by Liverpool 0-4 in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Son Heung-min started and worked hard, but Tottenham was not an opponent of Liverpool. Son Heung-min tried to prevent a 0-goal disaster, but his shot hit the post. Son appeared to hold back his tears after the game. The disappointment must have been twice as great because he is the player who has the greatest desire to win.
However, after the game, Tottenham's current crisis is being treated as if it was Son Heung-min's problem. Jamie Redknapp, who has played for Tottenham in the past, appeared on Sky Sports in the UK after the game and shot Son Heung-min openly. Redknapp said "A message must be sent to the players as well. The ordeal continues. It's an ordeal made by the players. Players should have some responsibility, tooHe suddenly blindly criticized Son Heung-min.
He said "Especially I don't see Son Heung-min as the captain. I've never seen Son Heung-min lead the team. What does Son Heung-min bring when the team is in trouble? I wanted to see experienced players lead the team, but they didn't show that at all. It was terrible," he added. Jamie Carragher, a Liverpool legend who watched this, agreed.
British sports bible said on the 8th that `Tottenham fans think a player should leave this summer after the match against Liverpool", and surprisingly, the target was Son Heung-min. The media added reactions posted by some Tottenham fans on social media while shedding light on Redknapp's remarks.
One fan commented "Son Heung-min is exhausted. The club will always love Son as a legend, but it's time for Son to leave this summer" developed the argument. Another fan chimed in "We need a major rebuild this summer."
Of course, there was not just an opinion that Son Heung-min should be sold. The fan with the dissenting opinion is the only player Son Heung-min looked like he could score. I don't like to say this. Played every game, noticeably exhausted, Son always ran back and defended. Tottenham are so terrible. If Son Heung-min was a Liverpool player, he would have scored a goalSon Heung-min is being sacrificed, he said.
Germany's One Football on the 9th "Tottenham captain Son Heung-min must have had an unforgettable night as his team suffered a crushing defeat in the Carabao Cup. For Son Heung-min, this game raised questions about his leadership on the field as well as his defeat. We expected good performances from the captain and veteran players, but the actual situation on the field began to question whether the team was mentally capable of coping with the crisis," he reported.
The above media outlet stated that `Son Heung-min has set an example in many games this season, but his lack of leadership was evident in games where Tottenham needed guidance from experienced players. Stronger leadership will be vital at key moments if the team wants to end its long wait for the championshipSon Heung-min said, "As a captain, we need to lead the players by shouting."
The local atmosphere in England does not end with a question mark about Son Heung-min's qualification as captain. Team Talk in England mentioned Son Heung-min while shedding light on Tottenham players whose future is uncertain amid the crisis of Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou's dismissal.
The media reported that Son Heung-min, the Tottenham captain, has recently been extended until the summer of 2026, but Son is not the former Son Heung-min. Tottenham is looking to the future in the recent transfer market, so Son Heung-min's future is an area that needs to be judged.
The reason is that `Son Heung-min's lightning speed and lethal finishing ability are no longer completely proof, and there is also a feeling that he is feeling the heavy burden of the club's captaincy after seeing the recent departures of players like Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris" was presented. In other words, he judged that Son Heung-min is having a difficult time both as a player and as a captain.
Finally, the media outlet stated that "Son Heung-min remains an absolute legend at Tottenham and still has his moment, but that moment is not much more than it used to be. It might step down next season, and even if it's sold in the summer, it's not too surprising if it's at the right price,' he added. It is fate as an ace and captain who has begun again amid Tottenham's crisis.
