[OSEN=우충원 기자] The ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham) expressed his longing for Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), but James Maddison (Tottenham) supported him.

Son Heung-min was substituted 13 minutes into the second half due to his worst performance, conceding 2 goals in the 2nd away match against Newcastle United in the 33rd round of the 2023-2024 Premier League held at St. James in Newcastle upon Tyne, England on the 13th (Korea time). Tottenham lost badly 0-4.

Tottenham used a 4-2-3-1 pattern on this day. Guglielmo Vicario guarded the goal, and Destiny Udogi, Mickey van der Van, Christian Romero and Pedro Foro were the back four. Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur worked together in midfield, and Timo Werner, James Maddison, and Brennan Johnson were placed in the second line. Son Heung-min was named as the best player in the front line.

Son Heung-min made a mistake in the 30th minute of the first half when Newcastle scored the first goal. Son Heung-min missed a pass and gave possession of the ball to Newcastle, and Bruno Guimaraes tried a long pass to the front. After that, Anthony Gordon, who managed to receive the ball, won a physical battle with Udogi, and then inserted a penetrating pass in front of Alexander Isak, who also passed Van der Pen, easily hit the Tottenham net and scored the first goal.

They collapsed by conceding an extra goal just 3 minutes after conceding the goal. In the Tottenham camp, Foro made a wrong backpass, which Gordon blocked in the middle, creating a scoring opportunity. Again, Van der Pen tried to block, but Gordon beat Van der Pen and cut into the Tottenham net.

Son Heung-min lost the ball again in the 6th minute of the second half, becoming the culprit of the third goal conceded. Guimaraes stole the ball from Son Heung-min and attempted a long pass towards the front. After that, Isaac quickly overtook Van der Pen, entered the box, and hit the net with a left foot shot, scoring several goals on the day.

Son Heung-min, who showed his worst performance, could not play even 60 minutes and retired to the bench 13 minutes into the second half.

In the end, Tottenham manager Angie Postekoglou replaced Son Heung-min and brought in Dejan Klusevski.

Son Heung-min, who had 15 goals and 9 assists this season, was 10-10 for the 3rd time in his career and was challenging for the leading scorer and leading assists, but had his worst day at that he conceded a goal twice. .

According to Sofa Score, a football statistics media, Son Heung-min played 58 minutes and recorded two key passes, but did not hit a single shot. There were a whopping 7 turnovers. Two of those innings resulted in runs.

Son Heung-min said after the game, “I was happy when Harry Kane was at the club because 30 goals were guaranteed. But who will do that after Kane leaves? I love the weight. “Because if you want to play in the Premier League, you have to use that pressure as nourishment for your development,” he said, missing Kane.

In particular, Son Heung-min did not hide his sad feelings about James Madison, who showed a poor performance that day. Instead, he dealt with Madison, which was underperforming. Son Heung-min said, “Madison is a player I liked a lot even before he came to Tottenham. Madison creates chances, scores goals and counterattacks. I want to make Madison a higher level player. “He has a very bright future,” he said, energizing his colleague. / 10bird@osen.co.kr
