[스포티비뉴스=박대성 기자] Will manager Antonio Conte awaken Son Heung-min (31) like he did on the day of the ‘hat trick’? The possibility of a bench was raised once morest Fulham. If you sit on the bench once morest Fulham on the 24th, it has been 129 days in the Premier League since the match once morest Leicester City.
British media ‘Football London’ said on the 21st (Korean time), “Coach Conte is concentrating on bringing out Son Heung-min’s best performance. He can give him a bench break to help him find the best condition. Son Heung-min will play for Leicester City in September. He scored a hat trick following missing the starting lineup in the previous match.”
Son Heung-min was the top scorer in the Premier League last season. Although the team was not properly organized, he showed off his best goal sense alone and held the golden boot jointly with Mohamed Salah. Expectations were higher this season as he sailed from start to finish with manager Conte.
Expectations were also high for Tottenham as a whole through extensive recruitment in the summer. However, it was difficult to get along with the freshman, and Son Heung-min suffered an orbital fracture in a tight schedule and was unable to show 100% condition. He lost his sharp appearance due to the dissonance with Ivan Perishich.
Director Conte fully trusts Son Heung-min, but local analysis suggests that he may bring out ‘shock therapy’. ‘Football London’ pointed out that “Tottenham is on the right track and needs to find an answer to Son Heung-min’s decision to finish in the UEFA Champions League qualifier.”
If Son Heung-min sits on the bench once morest Fulham, he predicted that he would give Hischarlisson a chance to play. When the team atmosphere rebounds and Hischarlisson is in condition to play once more, it is a story that he can play instead of Son Heung-min in the match once morest Fulham.
If Son Heung-min played as a substitute on the bench, it was expected that the Leicester City match would be reproduced in the ‘awakening effect’. Son Heung-min was put into the second half once morest Leicester City in the 8th round of the Premier League last September and scored a hat-trick in 13 minutes. It was a shocking record that had never been seen in Tottenham’s 140-year history. There have been only seven players in all of Premier League history.
