[인터풋볼] Reporter Shin Dong-hoon = The scoreless period is getting longer, but many people are trusting Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min, who became the top scorer by scoring 23 goals in the English Premier League last season, is still scoreless this season. He provided an assist before the opening game of Southampton, accumulating attacking points from the first game, and there is no record therefollowing. As the game progressed, his physical condition improved and the content of the game improved, showing Son Heung-min that everyone knew, but there was no goal, and some criticized him.
While Son Heung-min is disappointing in scoring, his partners are pouring in goals. Harry Kane scored five goals in the Premier League alone, helping Tottenham Hotspur’s undefeated streak. It was outstanding to score points in decisive scenes and give points. Richalisson showed a good performance as a substitute, but exploded a multi-goal in the first match of the UEFA Champions League group stage match once morest Marseille.
Dejan Kulusevsky also scored goals, and Eric Dyer and Ryan Sessegnon also tasted goals. Midfielder Pierre-Emil Hoivier scored two goals. In the meantime, Son Heung-min has no goals, making it even more comparable. As the match once morest Marseille ended without a goal, the argument that Son Heung-min should be removed from the starting lineup and replaced with Richalisson or Kulusevsky is gaining strength.
Son Heung-min expressed his thoughts on the goalless situation in an interview following the match once morest Marseille. Son Heung-min said, “It’s okay. He still thinks he has plenty of chances to score. In some scenes, luck didn’t come. Of course, there were times when he didn’t finish well. Now this hurdle will make me stronger. I am confident that it can be improved enough. The important thing is that the team is doing well.”
“We will do whatever the team needs,” he said. It’s really upsetting to not be able to score a goal at a crucial opportunity. However, all the members believe in me. Fans are also showing trust. If I score just one goal, I think my confidence will be restored and I will set the stage to score more goals.”
Tottenham fan community ‘Spurs Web’ said, “I believe Son Heung-min will score at least 15 goals in the official game this season. In fact, Son Heung-min has always had ups and downs. When he scores he knows Tottenham will win. I am not at all concerned regarding Son Heung-min’s current situation.”
