Tottenham Teammates Rally Around Son Heung-min After “Not a Legend” Criticism

Tottenham colleagues saved the spirit of Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham), who heard that he was “not a legend.”

Tottenham uploaded a short video on the club’s social media on the 5th (Korea time) saying, “One word to describe Son Heung-min (nickname Son Heung-min).” In the video, Tottenham players said words praising Son Heung-min.

Here is a video that gives an insight into Son Heung-min’s status within the club, and Son Heung-min gave a ‘punch’ to former Chelsea captain, Andy Townsend, who recently said that “the evaluation of him as a ‘legend’ is excessive.”

The first word spoken about Son Heung-min in the video is ‘Legend’.

Left back Destiny Udogi called Son Heung-min a “legend,” followed by Pedro Forro, who hailed him as “God.”

Richarlison gave an unusual answer. He compared Son Heung-min to Brazilian legend Ronaldinho and described him as “Sonaldinho”.

After that, Son Heung-min, who appeared on the screen singing a song, passed without asking any questions.

The praise continued for Heung-min’s Son.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg described Son Heung-min as “Great,” and “newbie” Radu Dragusin, who joined in January, said he was “Inspirational.”

In summary, most players called Son Heung-min a ‘legend’. Not only Udogi, but also Ben Davis, Mickey van der Ven, and Yves Bissouma called Son Heung-min a ‘legend.’

Lieutenant James Maddison called Son Heung-min “family” and Guglielmo Vicario said he was a “great leader.”

Son Heung-min’s ‘love doll’ described him as an “amazing person.”

In addition, players commented on Son Heung-min as “my captain,” “humble,” and “disciplined and hardworking.”

Son Heung-min, who only saw the video later, smiled brightly.

He shared the post with the phrase “Love From The Boys” and a heart emoji.

As Tottenham colleagues say, Son Heung-min is a legend.

On the 31st of last month, Son Heung-min scored 1 goal against Luton Town in the 2023-2024 English Premier League and was listed as one of Tottenham’s top 5 scorers ever. He reached 160 goals in his Tottenham career, surpassing Cliff Jones (159 goals) and rising to 5th place with the most goals in the club’s history. Now, only four people are above him: Martin Chivers (174 goals), Bobby Smith (208 goals), Jimmy Greaves (268 goals) and Harry Kane (280 goals).

He also praised Tottenham head coach Son Heung-min. “Son Heung-min has high expectations that he must always be the best, no matter who the opponent is or what game he is playing. It is very difficult to do that,” said the coach Angie Postekoglu in a press conference after the Luton Town game. “It may be easier to try to settle for Min as he has already achieved so much, as a person and as a player, but he strives to perform at the highest possible level every time he plays. If you look at his football, his effort and his leadership, he is an all-round player.” He gave a thumbs up.

Son Heung-min recently received a harsh evaluation from Townsend, a former Chelsea player and current football expert. And on this day, Tottenham counterattacked him without saying a single word through the video posted by Tottenham. This is because his colleagues have come forward and recognized him as a ‘legend’.

According to the British media ‘Talk Sports’ on the 2nd, Townshend said, “Son Heung-min is a great player. However, the word ‘legend’ should only be used in the right context,” he said, adding that it was still too early to call Son Heung-min a legend.

He emphasized once again, “It is true that Son Heung-min is a great player for Tottenham, but he is not a legend.”

Townsend, who played mainly as a midfielder during his career, played the most games for Aston Villa. During his four-year career, he played in 166 games, scoring 10 goals and providing 28 assists. At Chelsea, he played in 124 games over three years, scoring 14 goals and providing 10 assists. He, who served as the ‘captain’ at Chelsea, poured cold water on Son Heung-min, who had recently received a series of favorable reviews.

In reply to his words, Son Heung-min did not say anything directly. However, Tottenham colleagues who ‘experienced Son Heung-min first-hand’ recognized Son Heung-min as a ‘legend’. Townsend’s mouth can’t help but sink in.
