Wolverhampton was 16th, lower than Tottenham. The difference was five points before the game. However, the loss narrowed the gap between 15th-ranked Tottenham (37 points) and 16th-ranked Wolverhampton (35 points) to just two points. Tottenham is on the verge of falling to 16th place. The worst ranking of all time is just around the corner.

There was something noteworthy about the game on this day. It was a game where Son Heung-min was completely excluded. Before the game, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min suffered a minor bruise on his foot'Shockingly, he announced his exclusion from participation.

The injuries are not serious. However, it can be seen that it was given a break in advance for the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals in Frankfurt, Germany on the 18th. From Tottenham's point of view, the victory or defeat of the league game has long ceased to be meaningful. It's heading for the worst ranking ever, and there's not much room to go up. That doesn't mean you have to worry about relegation. You just have to wrap it up quietly.

It is a loss in itself to give Son Heung-min, who is in poor physical condition in such a game. It's better to give it a break and focus on the Europa League, which aims to win. Tottenham drew 1-1 in the last game. To reach the semifinals, they must win the second round of away games.

He was excluded from the starting lineup for this reason, but Son's departure caused a huge change in the team. When the central point disappeared from the offense and defense, Tottenham players scrambled and caused a defeat against Wolverhampton in the lower ranks.

Tottenham allowed the opening goal just two minutes into the game. Wolverhampton Velegar scored a free kick in front of the left side of the penalty area. Vicario Keeper punched, but he headed to Aitnuri, who was near the left side of the arc. Aitnuri hit a non-stop left-footed shot to shake Tottenham's net. VAR on the offside was played in the shooting situation. However, a goal was recognized a short time later.




Tottenham's defense kept losing their minds. In the 38th minute of the first half, Aitnuri crossed from the left side of the penalty area. At the gate, Munesi pushed with a header. Again, Vicario Keeper hit it. However, the ball hit Tottenham defender Spence, who was standing in front of the goal, bounced back and was sucked into the goal. Tottenham finished the first half 0-2 with an own goal.

Tottenham struggled a little in the second half. Matistel scored a comeback in the 14th minute of the second half. However, in the 19th minute of the second half, defender Christian Romero gave the ball to Aitnuri with an error. Aitnuri pushed it to the left, and Stran Larsen pushed it in to make it 3-1.

Wolverhampton replaced Gomes in the 37th minute of the second half with Hwang Hee-chan. Tottenham chased Hishalisson 2-3 with a header goal in the 39th minute. However, Wolverhampton dribbled after Cunha intercepted Beribal's touch mistake in the 41st minute of the second half, creating a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, and calmly finished with a goal. In the end, Tottenham lost 2-4.

This is the result of a head-on contradiction to the 'Son Heung-min's theory of uselessness'. Son Heung-min has devoted himself to the team for 10 years since 2015, setting a myriad of records and ranking 'Tottenham Legend', but has suffered a lot of criticism this season.

It is true that the performance has fallen slightly compared to last season. However, he still has seven league goals and nine assists. They are third and first in the team, respectively. It is a grade that cannot be ignored, and should not be ignored.

However, whenever he failed to score an offensive point in the game, he was criticized too much and rated close to terrorism. In the end, the public broadcaster BBC reported on the 11th 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.'

Some argued that the team should be replaced quickly with another player because it is not very helpful to the team at most and only the weekly wage is expensive. All of these were malicious claims trying to undermine Son Heung-min 'South Korean captain' and 'Tottenham's central point'.

However, Son Heung-min's role became more prominent due to the defeat against Wolverhampton. In particular, his ability as a leader to calm down struggling players is being reevaluated.

In addition, it was a game that showed how much coach Postecoglou has forced Son Heung-min to play 'Please soccer'.
