Son Heung-min's transfer showed the end of an era, and the club hopes the new players will have as much influence as the former captain. Son Heung-min was outstanding at Tottenham and is now definitely in the club legend group. Son Heung-min played in 454 games for Tottenham and scored 173 goals. It is ranked fifth in Tottenham's list of the most played players in history. He has also scored one goal and one assist in his first four games as he is quickly adapting to MLS.
His performance was also outstanding in this A-match friendly match. Above all, the fact that the opposing coach was Tottenham's old teacher, Pochettino, drew attention from England.
The media reported that "Tottenham fans had a notable scene before the start of the game."The former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who now leads the U.S. national team, approached Son Heung-min and greeted him before the game began, and the two shared a warm hug…"
Coach Pochettino recruited Son Heung-min and developed him into a world-class player. At that time, Tottenham was a team competing in the English Premier League (EPL) championship and also reached the UEFA Champions League final.
Now Romero will play the role of the new captain after Son Heung-min. Analysts say Son Heung-min's vacancy will be filled sufficiently.
