Heung-min Son (30), the ‘goalkeeper’ of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL) praised Hischarlisson (25, Brazil), a Brazilian striker who joined the team this summer.
Heung-min Son said in an interview with Football London, a British local media on the 8th (local time), “I trained with Hisharlison throughout this pre-season, and he was a player with amazing skills.”
Hisharlisson, who scored 53 goals and 14 assists in 152 appearances for Everton until last season, signed a contract with Tottenham until 2027 last month and became a teammate of Son Heung-min.
Hisallisson, who has excellent forward pressure, athletic ability such as speed and activity, as well as physical strength and physical strength, is expected as a resource to build a three-top team with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane this season.
He was disciplined for throwing flares into the crowd during last season’s game, and was unable to play in the opening game of the 2022-2023 season with Southampton.
Meanwhile, Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski made a big splash with one goal and one assist once morest Southampton, sparking a rivalry between the attacking teams.
Son Heung-min said, “Competition is always a good thing. I really enjoy playing with Hisharlisson.
Through competition with him, I am always improving,” he said.
Heung-Min Son also helped centre-back Eric Dier to score in this match and started the new season in a good mood.
Thanks to the performances of Kulusevsky, Dyer and Ryan Sessegnon, Tottenham won 4-1 in the opening match once morest Southampton.
In the opening match, Son Heung-min said, “It was a really important victory. It’s good to start the season with three points.
Several players were involved in the scoring.”
“I would have expected Nana Kane to score in a 4-1 win, but the fact that several people scored is a good sign[for the team],” he said. “The team is more important than the individual.
It’s good to see other players (except me and Kane) score goals.”
In addition, Son Heung-min said, “Actual performance is more important than a great team,” when it comes to a team that has been strengthened by the active recruitment of players this summer.
Tottenham, which showed ‘salty water’ in the transfer market in the previous summer, signed a large number of ‘unknown players’, including Hisharlisson, Fraser Foster, Yves Bisuma, Ivan Perisic, and Clement Langlet.
In response, Football London said, “Many people think that the current squad, led by manager Antonio Conte, is the strongest force in recent years.”
However, Son Heung-min said, “It doesn’t matter how much you reinforced the team.” “We have really good players, but it’s important to quickly realize how the team plays.”
“Having a good team does not guarantee success.
“We have to run until the end of the season,” he said.
