It is clear why Tottenham is the subject of criticism this season. It is a constant injury and deterioration in performance. Harry Redknapp recently pointed out in an interview with Talk Sports that Tottenham's problems stem from leadership issues.
Redknapp said there was no doubt Son was a good player, but he did not think he was fit for the captaincy role.
Enze Postecoglou, the current Tottenham manager, appointed Son Heung-min as captain early last season. Recently, however, some fans have questioned the decision. The point is that Son Heung-min is an outstanding player, but he is not suitable for his role as a captain.
Redknapp said, `Son Heung-min is a great player, but I wouldn't have chosen him as captain. He is a player who plays on the left wing. I don't think it's an appropriate position as a captain. "I thought Tottenham could use Archie Gray as captain in the end. But he is only 18 years old. It's ridiculous."
Redknapp mentioned central defender Kevin Danso, who was recently hired as a candidate for captain. Danso has just joined Tottenham, but he is considered a player who shows leadership within the team.
Radknapp added "Danso is likely to join Tottenham's captaincy soon. He has no qualms about taking on leadership roles,' he said. `Even though he may not be the most experienced player in the team, he could be the kind of person Tottenham needs as captain.
Redknapp is a person who has a strong opinion about depriving Koreans of their claims. Before undermining Son Heung-min, he did not give Park Ji-sung, who was the captain of QPR, a chance to play, and made him come down from the captain's position.

After Redknapp's remarks, Son Heung-min immediately showed leadership. In a league match, he saved his team's defeat with a miraculous penalty inducement and a fantastic Panenka kick.
In order to properly prove Son Heung-min's leadership, he needs to be able to lift the trophy. Son Heung-min's performance in the UEFA Europa League is of paramount importance.
The Europa League is an opportunity for Tottenham to escape the terrible 17-year-old swamp of no spectators. However, the current situation is not good. He was in a difficult situation after losing to AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of the last 16 with Lucas Beribal's own goal. Son Heung-min was not seen on the day.
Now Tottenham must win the second leg. As Tottenham was taken away in the first game, the first goal in the second game is more important than anything else. This is the moment when Son Heung-min's goal-scoring ability should be seen.
Postecoglou also seems to have put everything on the line in the Europa League in order not to be his last at Tottenham. This is why he rested key players such as Son Heung-min and James Madison in the last match against Bournemouth.
Coach Postecoglou also said, "The situation is not good. If he is eliminated from the Europa League, he is likely to be replaced. Tottenham will play AZ Alkmaar in the second round of the Europa League round of 16 on the 14th.
