September 18, 2022 Tottenham Hotspur FC Leicester City FC Will the three-top without the ‘EPL Top Scorer’ last season lead to reality? South Korea’s striker Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham) is under threat.
England’s The Athletic insisted on the 14th (Korean time) that “In the next game, Dejan Kulusevsky (Tottenham striker) must start as a starting player.”
Tottenham Hotspur on the 18th Tottenham Leicester relay League home matches Tottenham manager Antonio Conte appears to be in trouble once more with a selection. Heung-Min Son, Kulusevsky, Harry Kane and Richalisson have four world-class strikers. Only three of them can get a chance to be selected.
Recently, there are growing calls for Son Heung-min to be excluded from the selection. There is a reason. This season, Son Heung-min has fallen into a slump. He played six league matches and two European Champions League matches, but failed to score a goal. He only raised 1 assist in the league opener. In the Champions League match once morest Sporting Lisbon (Portugal) that day, he did not even try to shoot. Tottenham also lost 0-2.
Heung-Min Son has a starting opportunity, but it is true that the starting position looks dangerous. At the very beginning of the season, Richalisson and more recently Kulusevsky have been removed from the starting roster. Both players are considered to be the best strikers in the league. There is nothing strange regarding playing as a main player instead of Heung-Min Son.

The media also said, “In a situation where Son’s decisive power has deteriorated, Hishalisong has recently been ranked in the top 11 in place of Kulusevsky.” “Director Conte maintained his trust in Son Heung-min more than Kulusevsky. But this belief was not justified.” said. However, as for Kulusevsky, he praised, “He replaced Son Heung-min as a substitute and raised Tottenham’s level once more. He moved in a dangerous area and created several chances. He should play as a starter in the next game.”
In fact, the starting rotation is an unavoidable problem. Tottenham have a tight schedule. In particular, in October, a whopping 9 games will be played in a month. Heung-Min Son can start the game at any time from the bench. “I have to accept the rotation because there are four strikers. It’s very difficult to get rid of one, but I have to make the best decision for the team and the players,” said Conte. As early as the Leicester City match, coach Conte can make a decision to ‘exclude Son Heung-min’s selection’.
It is the first time in four years that Son Heung-min has suffered such a drought. He also scored his first goal following eight appearances in the 2018-2019 season. At that time, he was greatly influenced by his participation in the 2018 Jakarta Palembang Asian Games. Son Heung-min finished the season with 12 goals and 7 assists.
