[인터풋볼] Reporter Park Ji-won = Dejan Kulusevsky picked Son Heung-min as a close colleague for Tottenham Hotspur.
Kulusevsky joined Tottenham in the winter transfer window in January of this year. Until then, he had played in Serie A in Italy. He started with the Atalanta youth, then played at Parma and Juventus. Kullussevsky, who received early attention, was called up to the Swedish national team in November 2019, leading up to his debut.
He came to Tottenham and performed at his best. During the second half he recorded 5 goals and 8 assists in the English Premier League (EPL). He made a devastating attack with Heung-Min Son (23 goals and 7 assists) and Harry Kane (17 goals and 9 assists) in a triangular formation. As a result, Tottenham were dramatically able to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
As with this season, Kulusevsky is an important option for coach Antonio Conte. He appeared in all 9 official matches played before the match A in September. Then he is off to a good start with 1 goal and 3 assists.
Kulusevsky is currently on a schedule for the Swedish national team. Then, on the 26th (Korean time), he conducted an interview with ‘Afdon Vladett’ of Sweden. Here, Kulusevsky chose ‘Christian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancourt, Pierre-Emile Hoyvier, Heung-Min Son, and Ben Davis’ as close friends.
He continued, “It’s an amazing team with a lot of interesting characters. It’s really good and I laugh a lot. I talk a lot with everyone, players and coaches. It feels like family,” he added.
Heung-Min Son was close with Kevin Bimmer and Delhi Ali in the past, and got along well with many of his colleagues following that. In particular, Davis picked Son Heung-min as the most fun player at Tottenham and said, “Heung-min Son gives us good energy every day. He is always happy and a good person to get along with.” Heung-Min Son was also named Kulusevsky, who had not joined for a long time.
“It’s easier to play for Tottenham than for Juventus,” Kulusevsky continued. This team is more functional and makes the game a lot easier. When I came to Tottenham, my physical and speed improved, and my shooting increased a lot. “I’m in the right position to get more into the penalty box and score an easy goal.”
On the other hand, Kulusevsky recorded one assist in the match once morest Serbia, and will return to Tottenham following playing once morest Slovenia on the 28th.
