Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, will play the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 in the 2024-2025 season against AZ Alkmaar (the Netherlands) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 14th (Korea time).
It's a cliffhanger. Tottenham lost 0-1 in the first round of the round of 16 away. To advance to the quarterfinals, you must win by more than two goals.
Son Heung-min couldn't hold back his anger after losing the first round of the round of 16. He said "It was a performance far from the level we had to play. I am very disappointed that we have achieved this, including myself. Next week is the most important game of the season, so it has been a big wake-up call. We didn't produce anything in the first half. It was careless, and it didn't produce the results we had to do. Everyone is very disappointed with the individual and team performance. There is no excuse. It was just a 0-1 loss. It's not finished yet. We need to be much better next week."

At that time, Tottenham struggled with the opponent's strong pressure at the beginning of the game. In the end, Marcus Tavernier scored the first goal in the 42nd minute of the first half. Tottenham almost lost another point in the opponent's counterattack in the 7th minute of the second half. However, as a result of VAR, the goal was canceled due to offside, and it seemed to be over the crisis.
Tottenham pulled the sword of the turnaround. Son Heung-min, who was waiting on the bench, was put in. Tottenham saved Son Heung-min on the bench as if focusing on the Europa League. Son Heung-min took the ground instead of Brennan Johnson at the start of the second half.
The situation has not changed. Rather, in the 20th minute of the second half, he lost an additional point to Ivani Usong and was dragged 0-2. Son Heung-min couldn't hide his sorrow. His anger was captured on the broadcast screen.
In the end, Son Heung-min stepped up himself. Tottenham chased down with Papesar's score in the 22nd minute of the second half. Then came Son Heung-min. He used his explosive speed in the 37th minute of the second half to earn a penalty. Son Heung-min saved Tottenham from defeat by calmly scoring as a penalty kicker. It was his seventh goal (9 assists) in the league this season and his 11th goal (10 assists) in official matches.

The situation is not good. Kevin Danso is out with an injury, according to British media Football London. What is fortunate is the return of Christian Romero and Mickey van der Penn. However, it is said that both players are not in normal condition yet. Football London expected Tottenham to lean on Son Heung-min once again. The media expected Son Heung-min to start with Dominic Solanke and Matistel.
Tottenham have not been at the top in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. This season, he was also eliminated from the Carabao Cup and the English Football Association (FA) Cup. It remains in 13th place in the EPL. The Europa League is the only one with a chance of winning. The last time Tottenham won the European competition was in the 1983-1984 season.
