Son Heung-min had a strong spirit ahead of the long-awaited Europa League Round of 16. He urged all the teams to gather and demanded that they do their best to advance to the quarterfinals.
Spurs Webb said on the 12th (Korea time) "The moment to decide the season will come to Tottenham Hotspur." To survive in the Europa League, they need to reverse their one-goal deficit against AZ Alkmaar`"Son Heung-min, the captain of the team, urged all the members to gather around.
The media said "Tottenham's recent performance is disappointing. Against Bournemouth last Sunday, Tottenham were inferior in their overall performance, allowing a total of 17 shots and conceding eight shots on target"He gave up five crucial scoring opportunities and exposed defensive anxiety by scoring an expected loss (xG) of 2.20"
Tottenham also performed poorly in an away match against AZ Alkmaar, the first leg of the Europa League round of 16. Only one shot was made on goal, and even that came right before the end of the game.
If this poor performance is repeated, it is impossible to advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa League. There is a myriad of things to supplement in the upcoming game.
In an official interview with the club, Son emphasized that mental strength and commitment are the key to victory. He delivered a clear message to his team members ahead of the second game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Son Heung-min said, `We have another important home game on Thursday. We need everyone's strength. Supporters, players, staff and clubs should all become one. That way, we can turn the game around"The quality of the individual alone cannot bring about victory. You need the right mentality and commitment. Performance and effort are always important."
Son Heung-min also said, `There is no need to discuss individual skills. But if you don't do your best, soccer is a sport that can be turned upside down at any time. "We have to focus. We have to take the game seriously, respect the opponent, and make sure to turn it over at home."
The second Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar on the 14th is the most important match for Tottenham this season. It is also the starting point for Son Heung-min to win the championship. As such, Son Heung-min seems to be in a different position ahead of this game. If they fail to win this game and are eliminated from the Europa League, Tottenham's season will effectively end.
Tottenham has given up the English Premier League (EPL) this season and has a disastrous report card of being in the middle and lower ranks. As a result, players including Son Heung-min and the team, including the coach, could not avoid criticism. Propaganda in the Europa League is the only opportunity to quell criticism and produce meaningful results in a disappointing season.

Fortunately, Son Heung-min is in good physical condition.
I didn't play full time in the last league game, and I also tasted the goal. He is in a state of full confidence.
Son Heung-min stepped on the ground at the start of the second half against Bournemouth on the 9th.
In the 9th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min caught the ball near the left side of the penalty box and hit it in the middle, attempting a right-footed shot. I hit the post. It was a technique I often used in my heyday.
Son Heung-min even induced a penalty with his good ability to break through. In the 37th minute of the second half, Madison put a space pass into the penalty box, and Son Heung-min tripped over the goalkeeper as he ran. A penalty was declared and Son Heung-min won the psychological match against the opponent's goalkeeper by showing a panenka kick toward the center. It was his 11th goal this season and the decisive goal to prevent his team's defeat.
For Son Heung-min, this Europa League could be his last chance at Tottenham. Son Heung-min is signed until 2026, but Tottenham is likely to sell him before the contract is terminated. As it is an important competition to achieve a successful finish at Tottenham, it is expected to be determined.
