This is because he failed to score an offensive point in the last UEFA Europa League. If it was Son Heung-min in the past, he had to stay on the field to be responsible for scoring until the end of the game, but now he is one of the players who is replaced early.
BBC reported on the 11th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min doesn't look as fast or as sharp as he used to be.
This means that Son Heung-min's flawless goal-making ability is no longer visible after his trademark penetration. Son Heung-min's talent was to prevent him from reacting to the opponent by taking a movement that penetrates the back space of the defense or a half-beat fast shot. However, the BBC judged that this shrewd play was missing.
Son Heung-min, who was in his prime, remained on the field until the end of the second half if Tottenham was aiming for the winning goal.
Son Heung-min was not seen playing full-time against Frankfurt in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. This is because he left the stadium as a substitute in the 35th minute of the second half.
Tottenham had a disappointing 1-1 draw against Frankfurt, which may have been the most important game of the season.
The media argued that the replacement of Matistel in place of Son Heung-min in the 35th minute of the second half was a legitimate judgment. This is because Son Heung-min did not show much influence in the game.

In the meantime, the media is sure that Son Heung-min is a legendary player who set the record for the most appearances in the club with Harry Kane with 67 appearances in the European competition. He pointed out that his influence in the game is gradually weakening due to the decrease in speed.
The BBC also reported that Son Heung-min has scored only one goal (penalty against Bournemouth) in the last 17 games, and he is no longer considered an absolute being at Tottenham.
Son Heung-min did not score an offensive point in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals, but he did not perform badly. These negative points seem to have come out because of the high expectations for it.
On the day, Son Heung-min was involved in Pedro Porro's equalizer.
In the 26th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min poked a long space pass to Madison, who penetrated into the center, and Madison delivered it to the prisoner. Porro's witty backheel shot was the best, but if you look at the situation in front of it, Son Heung-min's exquisite pass led to the equalizer.
In the second half, Son produced a flashy scene.
Solanke, who caught the ball in the penalty box in the 11th minute of the second half, connected the pass to Son Heung-min on the left. Son Heung-min immediately tried to shoot after hitting the center of one timing. It was a sharp course to cut through the corner of the goal, but it was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Tottenham will play in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt on the 18th. As it is an away game, it is not expected to be an easy schedule. Above all, if Son Heung-min scores an attack point and leads his team to the semifinals, the evaluation could be reversed again.
