'Age effects us all'
BBC Sport revealed the unadulterated opinions of local fans on Son Heung-min's recent form on the 12th (Korea time). Shortly after Tottenham's 1-1 Europa League quarter-final first-round draw with Frankfurt, the BBC said: 'Son Heung-min no longer seems to be an indispensable player for TottenhamIt was unimaginable to replace striker Son Heung-min at a time when he was aiming for the winning goal not too long ago. However, he was replaced against Frankfurt. The coach's decision was entirely justified because it did not have a significant impact on the game. Son Heung-min criticized, 'He's not as sharp as he used to be.' `There is no doubt that Son Heung-min is a Tottenham legend, but his influence is getting weaker and his speed is falling as much as it is.' BBC Sports then presented the fans' opinions, saying, `I asked your opinion on Tottenham captain Son Heung-min's recent form.' All of the fans gave negative reviews full of regret, such as a drop in speed and lack of confidence due to Son Heung-min's age.
A fan named 'Sean"I personally think Son's problem is that he's about to turn 33 and he's physically in decline. Tottenham fans should accept that Son Heung-min cannot play every three to four days. I think Son Heung-min needs a week or so of rest and lacks confidence," he wrote.
The fan named "Richard" straightforwardly said, "If I were you, I would take the captain's position away from Son Heung-min and hand it over to Romero." "Please allow Romero to express himself freely, referring to the history of handing over the captaincy to Ian Bottom in the 1981 Ashes. " Another fan, 'Ren', wrote "Son Heung-min is unfortunate, but age affects all of us'Time goes by' recalled the truth. `Since Son is no longer an outstanding player, Son should step down for the sake of his team" made a claim of rigidity. A fan named `Charlie'Son Heung-min's slowness as he gets older is affecting the game, and I think we need to recruit someone who can influence the game without speed," he said, pointing to the aging curve of the speed racer.
Another fan 'Rory' admitted that Son Heung-min was a great player of the club and still shows flashy moments from time to time, but insisted that Son should be used as a tactical super serve instead of starting. "He needs to be an impactful sub. Throw in after an hour against exhausted defenders could have a bigger impact on the game. Playing with Tel or O'Doubert, their pace will wear down opposing defenders."
Son has seven goals in 28 league games this season. He lifted the Golden Boot (scoring king) trophy with 23 goals in the 2021-2022 season, and it must be a poor performance compared to the fact that he has scored double digits for eight consecutive seasons from 34 games to 17 goals in 34 games last season after 14 goals in the 2016-2017 season. Tottenham's scorers, which have long been focused on Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, are diversified to Brennan Johnson (11 goals), James Medicine (9 goals), Dejan Klusevski and Dominic Solanke (7 goals), and Captain Son Heung-min's role as a dedicated chance maker in the process can be seen as a positive change, but it is regrettable that Sonny's unique spirited play in the box, which broke down the opponent's defense line with relentless speed and wowed fans with cannon shots and calm finishes, has subsided a bit. Son Heung-min last scored a goal in a home game against Bournemouth (2-2 draw) on the 9th of last month. Fans are missing his signature `click' ceremony. He is eager to set a milestone for nine consecutive double-digit goals in the remaining seven league games this season. Form is temporary, but class is eternal. Ten years of commitment at Tottenham doesn't run away.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min's Tottenham, who broke four consecutive English Premier League (EPL) games with a 3-1 victory over Southampton on the 6th, will go on an away trip to Wolverhampton in the 32nd round of the EPL at 10 p.m. on the 13th. Tottenham remains 14th in the league with 11 wins, 4 draws and 16 losses in 31 games and 37 points.
