It's a twist. Hishalisson (Tottenham) has changed his position. The possibility of taking the ace position was raised due to Son Heung-min's departure.
Tottenham, led by head coach Thomas Frank, will play Burnley at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 16th (Korea time) in the opening match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season.
It's the beginning of a new era. Tottenham had a big change ahead of the new season. He has broken up with coach Enze Postecoglou, who has led the team so far. Coach Frank has taken the new helm. Son Heung-min, who has been at the center of the team for the past 10 years, also left. Son Heung-min joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He scored 173 goals in 454 games during this period. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the EPL joint top scorer (23 goals) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushkashi Award in 2020. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Pushkashi Award are the first and only milestone for an Asian player to date. Above all, he lifted the trophy in the Europa League (UEL) in the 2024-2025 season. Son Heung-min took on a new challenge after winning the trophy. He will wear the LA FC uniform and play on the ground.
Coincidentally, Tottenham rarely won after Son Heung-min left. In a friendly match with Bayern Munich (Germany) on the 8th, the team lost 0-4. On the 14th, he bowed his head after a penalty shootout at the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG, France). This time, the opponent is 'Advancing Team'Burnley.
