No matter what sin SON is, it's too much. Even the public broadcaster BBC criticizes players who don't need to be in Tottenham



They say if it's sweet, you swallow it, and if you use it, you spit it out, but this is too much.

Son Heung-min (33), who has been dedicated to Tottenham for a long time, has been particularly criticized by local media this season. Of course, it is undeniable that the performance has fallen compared to last season. However, it is questionable whether it should be criticized at this level. Even the BBC, a British public broadcaster with strong public confidence, has ruthlessly undermined Son Heung-min.

British media BBC reported on the 11th (Korea Standard Time) that Son Heung-min's contribution to the team has fallen worse than before, saying, `It seems that Son Heung-min is no longer an indispensable player for Tottenham. This came after Son Heung-min did not perform well in the first leg of the 2024-2025 UEFA Europa League quarterfinals against Eintracht Frankfurt at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.

Son Heung-min started the game, but did not perform well. Other than serving as the starting point for Pedro Porro's equalizer and attempting a 'reduced (winding)' mid-range shot from the left side of the penalty box in the 11th minute of the second half, it did not stand out.

In the end, Son Heung-min was replaced in the 34th minute of the second half. The 86% pass success rate was recorded with two key passes, one effective shot, 33% cross success rate, 0% dribble success rate, and 12 turnovers.

To be honest, it is true that Son Heung-min played a disappointing game. The BBC criticized Son for this reason. The BBC said 'Not long ago, it was unimaginable to replace Son Heung-min when he needed the winning goal. However, he was replaced in the match against Frankfurt on the day. Son Heung-min is not having a big impact on the game. It's not as sharp as it used to be,' he explained.




Then 'Son Heung-min is a Tottenham legend, but his influence is getting weaker. The speed also dropped a lot. Son Heung-min is no longer an indispensable player at Tottenham"ㅏㄹㄹ"

Even British public broadcasters criticized Son's performance. Son's commitment is being forgotten.

The BBC reported on the 11th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min seems to be no longer an indispensable player for Tottenham.




BBC said 'Until recently, it was unimaginable to replace striker Son Heung-min at a time when he was aiming for the winning goal. However, he was replaced against Frankfurt. The coach's decision was entirely justified because he did not have a significant impact on the game. Son Heung-min doesn't look as sharp as he used to be.

There is no doubt that Son Heung-min is a legend of Tottenham. But his influence is getting weaker, and his pace is falling no less. Now Son Heung-min seems to be no longer an indispensable player for Tottenham.

The BBC is not the only one who has criticized Son Heung-min. Football London gave Son a rating of five. The Evening Standard also gave five points. It's the lowest point. Global soccer media GoalCom even gave it four points. 'If Postecoglou were to play this game again, he would have banned Son from dribbling. The ball was taken away too easily and was not a threat. Most of the media are similar. They all gave the lowest score.
