(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Bo-in = Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte emphasized the importance of Son Heung-min (30) and Kane (29) duo.
Tottenham Hotspur will play a postponed match once morest Burnley in the 13th round of the 2021-2022 EPL at Turf Moor, Burnley, England on the 24th at 4:30 am (Korean time).
Tottenham, who defeated Manchester City 3-2 on the 20th to cut their third consecutive league title, dream of a sure rebound by defeating Burnley.
Heung-min Son and Kane are definitely the players who will take center stage.
In the match once morest Manchester City, Son Heung-min helped Kane to score an additional goal, and he jointly scored 36 goals in the Premier League.
This is the record for the most goals scored in EPL history (36 goals) set by Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba at Chelsea in the past.
If Son Heung-min and Kane, who have survived the ‘breathing of breath’, score one more goal together in the match once morest Burnley, they will set a new record for the most goals jointly in EPL history.

“Heung-Min Son and Kane are, as I always say, very good and important players,” Conte said at a press conference ahead of the Burnley match.
Then, “Heung-min Son left for regarding a month and a half due to an injury, and that wasn’t good for us either. After returning, he needed time to lift himself up. But he’s healthy now, and Heung-Min Son is an important player for us.”
Kane seemed to be experiencing back pain in the match once morest Manchester City, but Conte doesn’t look like he’s giving up on the Son Heung-Min-Kane combination.
“Kane was hit in the back, but he has to run with one leg,” Conte said. “He knows how important he is to the team.”
“I don’t force an injured player to play. I was just trying to talk regarding the importance of Kane,” he added. “Kane is ready.”
Coach Conte, who wants to ride on an upward trend, expected even performances from players besides Son Heung-min and Kane.
“We have to play a lot and we need all of these players,” he said, referring to Lucas Mora, ‘freshman’ Dejan Kulusevsky and Stevan Bergwein.
