2024-04-22 08:18:42
It is questionable whether Tottenham Hotspur of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL), the team of Korean national football team captain Son Heung-min, rose to fourth place at the end of the season and will be able to win the right to participate in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) next season.
At the 22nd (Korean time), Tottenham ranks 5th in the championship with 18 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats (60 points).
Aston Villa, who are in 4th place, won 3-1 in the home game once morest Bournemouth on the 21st, widening the gap to 66 points.
In EPL, it is important to finish the season in 4th place. Indeed, if you obtain 4th place or more, you will be able to participate in the UCL next season.
It is not easy to close a 6-point gap in a situation where the match has progressed to the 34th round, but Tottenham have played 2 games less than other teams, so there is a good chance. Tottenham have currently only played 32 matches due to other teams’ schedules.
Mathematically, if they win their two remaining matches, they will be tied with Villa on 66 points. Since they are 5 points behind on goal difference, if they win by scoring as many points as possible, they can take 4th place on their own.
However, the schedule is not on Tottenham’s side. We have a tight schedule ahead of us, with three consecutive meetings with top teams.
[런던=AP/뉴시스] Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur plays once morest Nottingham Forest in matchday 32 of the 2023-24 English Premier League (EPL) held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 7th (local time). Son Heung-min recorded his 9th assist on Mickey van der Pen’s winning goal in the 7th minute of the second half, and the team won 3–1 and moved up to 4th place. 2024.04.08.
They will play a London derby once morest Arsenal on the 28th at 10 p.m., then play another derby once morest Chelsea at 3:30 a.m. on the 3rd of next month. Next, they meet Liverpool at 00:30 on the 6th.
Arsenal and Liverpool currently sit first and second and are strong teams competing to win the championship. In Chelsea’s case, they are ranked 9th in the league, but this should be a tough match as it is a regional rivalry match and they are a top team.
After that, they will face lower-ranked teams such as Burnley and Sheffield, ranked 19th and 20th respectively, but there are also difficult schedules for teams like Manchester City and Newcastle, so the end of the season is expected to be difficult. .
In Villa’s case, they have an advantage over Tottenham in the remaining schedule. Besides Chelsea and Liverpool, they face teams with a strong chance of winning, such as Brighton and Crystal Palace.
Instead, unlike Tottenham, who can only focus on the championship, Villa faces the first and second legs of the 2023-2024 UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) semi-finals once morest Olympiacos (Greece) , physical problems may therefore arise.
Tottenham will have to accumulate as many points as possible from the remaining matches of the season and hope that Villa slip away.

Son Heung-min scored in the 10th minute of the second half, scoring his 199th goal in Europe, and was substituted in the second half, drawing the match 2-2. 2023.09.25.
The start should be the London derby once morest Arsenal on the 28th.
Tottenham are in a bad mood following losing 0-4 to Newcastle on the 13th.
You must kill two birds with one stone: defeat your rival, gain 3 points and turn the mood around.
The person Tottenham are looking forward to is, of course, Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min showed a strong performance for Arsenal by scoring several goals in the championship match once morest Arsenal (2-2 draw) last September.
Attention is shifting to whether Son Heung-min will be able to perform his ‘click ceremony’ following scoring once more once morest Arsenal.
