Captain Son Heung-min (32) praised Brennan Johnson (23, Tottenham), who came on as a replacement and played well in the thrilling comeback win.

Johnson was replaced by Rodrigo Bentancur in the 18th minute of the second half when the team was down 0-1 in the 27th round home game of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) once morest Crystal Palace on the 3rd (Korean time).

However, Johnson recorded two assists by using his speed to move laterally, contributing to Tottenham’s 3-1 comeback win. In particular, Johnson’s persistent concentration helped Timo Werner’s equalizer in the 32nd minute of the second half and Son Heung-min’s key goal, his 13th league goal, in the 43rd minute of the second half.

As a result, Johnson, who scored 2 attack points (2 assists) that day, recorded 3 goals and 6 assists in the league this season. It is the 4th most attack points in the league, following Son Heung-min (13 goals, 6 assists), Richarlison (10 goals, 3 assists), and James Maddison (3 goals, 7 assists). Considering that he only played 13 games as a starter, this is a great record.

Tottenham, who won thanks to Johnson’s performance, maintained 4th place (50 points). However, they chased down 4th place Aston Villa (55 points), who played one more game, and did not fall behind in the competition for next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Son Heung-min mentioned Johnson in an interview with Tottenham broadcaster ‘Spurs Play’ following the game. Johnson played for Nottingham Forest this season and joined Tottenham in the 4th round. Johnson, who has high speed, has established himself as a key player between the starting and bench positions with the trust of coach Angie Postekoglou.

“That’s what we need and especially the way we play,” Son Heung-min said. “We want to play at a high, high intensity. Especially who comes off the bench has to have an impact like Brennan did today. “It recorded the dog’s amazing help,” he praised.

Son Heung-min also said, “I like this guy, I love him, and I just want to help him as much as I can. Even when we started playing, I told him to make sure he was ready to play.”

He added: “I said to Brennan, ‘If you come in you can make a difference and that’s what we need.’ He’s been fantastic and I just wanted to give him a hug.”

Son Heung-min repeatedly emphasized, “Brennan obviously wants to score goals. But I am confident that when the time comes for him to work for the team and if he works in this way, the goals will automatically follow. I am 100% sure.”

This is an interview that reveals how much affection Son Heung-min, the team’s most senior player, has for Johnson. Johnson is considered a talent who will be responsible for becoming Tottenham’s next-generation winger. Johnson is learning a lot from Son Heung-min, and Son Heung-min is showing satisfaction with Johnson’s performance. /[e-mail]
