Many players, including Son Heung-min, were strongly criticized this season along with coach Enze Postecoglou. With Tottenham struggling in the league, questions continue to be raised about whether Son should take over as captain and whether his leadership is appropriate while the team goes through a difficult period.
Football London reported on the 19th (Korea time) 'Tottenham already has their own Mohamed Salah, but everyone is criticizing him'
This is what Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is saying. Obviously, he is performing above average, but it is true that excessive criticism is poured into Son Heung-min.
Tottenham recently activated a one-year extension option in their contract with Son Heung-min. As a result, Son Heung-min will play for Tottenham until 2026 and is likely to continue as captain.
Fans can offer different opinions in terms of Son's role as captain and the degree to which he contributes to the team. In conclusion, however, performance is an important factor in evaluation.
In the same vein, the media insisted that Son Heung-min's performance this season is not bad, despite Tottenham struggling at the bottom of the league.
Football London said, `If you look at the number of big chances made in the Premier League, only three players have created more chances than Son Heung-min.'"Son has made 16 big chances this season, with only Bukayo Saka (19), Cole Palmer (19), and Mohamed Salah (21st) holding higher records.", he explained. He added "These 16 Big Chance making led to nine assists in the Premier League."

In fact, few people have avoided criticism inside Tottenham throughout this season. This is because everyone acknowledges that Tottenham's season has never been a good one.
In particular, coach Enze Postecoglou is under increasing pressure, and controversy continues over his future. The UEFA Europa League is Tottenham's only chance to win the trophy this season, and the quarter-final match against Eintracht Frankfurt next month is expected to be an important turning point.
Winning the tournament is practically the only way Tottenham can qualify for next season's European match. Of course, it is too early to give up the English Premier League. The gap with Newcastle United, currently sixth in the Premier League, is 13 points.
