Tottenham's 1st tier official is shocking! Son Heung-min, who was booed by home fans...Sonny can't control his ball → The coach treats Romero differently

Jul 21, 2025

Tottenham entered the pre-season ahead of next season. Son Heung-min's skills still did not rise. As such, voices of criticism are growing.

"British Football London on the 20th (Korea time) "Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke looked rather dull in the first half, as did Son Heung-min and Lucas Beribal," he said. This is Alesdare Gold's evaluation of the friendly match between Tottenham and Reading on the 19th.

The media praised Pedro Porro, Rodrigo Bentancur and Christian Romero, but evaluated Son Heung-min negatively.

"The captain Son Heung-min failed to find his rhythm overall and played a disappointing game by missing the ball several times," the media said. "It is noteworthy that the situation that followed his cross and the scene that was blocked by the defense during the dribble led to Tottenham's score."

"Son Heung-min showed his shot through the air in the game and his inability to control the ball properly during the solo breakthrough."In this scene, home fans booed him, and he later reacted somewhat irritably when Kudus did not pass Son Heung-min, who was in a large space."

Son's future is still in the fog. Tottenham manager Thomas Frank's remarks also do not give Son Heung-min confidence. Coach Frank has a different temperature with Romero and Son Heung-min.

Frank said of Romero `He's a very important player for us and we're looking forward to next season", but did not make such remarks about Son Heung-min.

Asked if Frank would keep Son as captain, he replied: "That's a good question. No decision has been made on the claim yet"I have a lot of work to do, and I'm organizing it in priority order." They are still thinking about who to give the captain's position.

In the friendly match against Reading, Romero was the captain for 45 minutes in the first half, and Son Heung-min kicked the armband until the end of the game. For now, if Son Heung-min remains on the team, it is unlikely that he will be deprived of the captain's position.

The media said, `If Son Heung-min remains for sure, there is no need to think about appointing the captain"There will be no reason to deprive the captain of a player who has devoted 10 years to the team."

Asked whether Son will decide his future, Frank also said, `It's tricky if that really happens. If a player has been at the club for a long time, of course, the club will make some decisions, and the manager and the senior members of the club will be involved in the process"If a player wants to transfer at a certain point, of course he has to consider it and the club will decide in the end."
