Even if it was a little sluggish, local media in the UK, which had been criticizing Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur), expressed trust in Son Heung-min ahead of an important match.
Son Heung-min is expected to start in an away match against Fulham in the 29th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Craven Cottage in London, England, at 10:30 p.m. on the 16th (Korea time).
British media Football London revealed the expected selection list, expressing high expectations by putting Son Heung-min as a left wing forward. Despite the tight schedule, Son Heung-min is the only card he can trust to win the team.
Tottenham have a murderous schedule. He played his 28th round home game of the EPL against Bournemouth on the 9th, and played the second round of the UEFA Europa League against AZ Alkmaar on the 14th. After a day off, he has to play an away game in Fulham on the night of the 16th. Tottenham already has a lot of injuries, so such a schedule is quite burdensome. On the other hand, Fulham has an advantageous schedule to take five days off after the match against Brighton on the 9th and play at home.
Therefore, the media outlet said, "'Postecoglou has to decide which players to push into the danger zone to play three games a week.'" This could include Christian Romero, who started in back-to-back games after missing months, and Wilson O'Dober, who scored the winning goal against Alkmaar. Postecoglou said he could start new players like Destiny Udoji, Rodrigo Bentancur or Brennan Johnson, or Archie Gray or Matistel could also be in the squad.
But Son Heung-min's position remained unchanged. Football London put out a 4-3-3 formation as a predicted lineup against Fulham. Dominic Solanke, who has recovered from his injury, is expected to be in the center of the three attackers. Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson were placed on both sides of Solanke.
Football London, which put Son Heung-min as a left wing striker, expected Son Heung-min to play like he did against Alkmaar, saying, `The choice of this position is either Son Heung-min or Tel, but if Son Heung-min, who was a threat against Alkmaar last Thursday, is in a suitable situation to play.
Son Heung-min scored one assist in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 against AZ Alkmaar, but practically he was involved in all three goals and led his team to a 3-1 victory. It served as the starting point for Odobert's goal in the 26th minute of the first half and the 29th minute of the second half. In the third minute of the second half, he helped James Maddison to score an assist. Thanks to Son Heung-min's strong performance, Tottenham was able to advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa League. I'm looking forward to the same role this time.
Midfielders included James Maddison, Lucas Beribal and Rodrigo Bentancur. Archie Gray was put in place of Romero, who started consecutively as a four-back. Mickey Van Derpen is expected to play center-back with Gray. Destiny Udoji and Jed Spence were placed in the left and right full-back position. The goal belongs to Guglielmo Vicario.
Son Heung-min will move to South Korea and join Hong Myung-bo after the match. Son Heung-min played full time against Alkmaar. In the match against Bournemouth on the 9th, he was deployed at the beginning of the second half and scored one goal while playing on the ground until the end of the game. Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min will continue his recent trend of achieving consecutive offensive points.
