1st place in defense participation rate among attackers. Responsible for the most goals in the team with 17 goals, with a high line, the space behind is often open. There is a high dependence on Plan A, so there is an urgent need to recruit players to implement Postecoglu offensive football this summer.

Son Heung-min ran tirelessly wearing the Tottenham Hotspur 'captain' armband in the English professional football Premier League (EPL), but ultimately failed to reach the top four, which was his goal.

Tottenham lost 0-2 against Manchester City (Man City) on the 15th in the '2023-2024 EPL regular match'.

With the loss on this day, 5th place Tottenham (63 points) had the final game of the regular season remaining and the point gap with 4th place Aston Villa (68 points) widened to 5 points, canceling their participation in next season's UEFA Champions League (UCL).

Tottenham, who once rose to the top of the league, lost steam in the second half of the season.

Son Heung-min filled the void left by Harry Kane, who left for Bayern Munich (Germany) ahead of this season, but was hampered by the team's ups and downs.

In fact, Tottenham scored 71 goals in 37 regular league games. Kane surpassed 70 goals in the 2022-2023 season.

Son Heung-min is responsible for 17 of these goals and ranks 7th in scoring. In the Postekoglu system that favors strong pressure, Son Heung-min was an indispensable resource. This is also clearly evident in the numbers. According to the International Institute of Sports Research (CIES), an affiliate of the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), Son Heung-min has the highest defense participation among strikers playing in 30 professional soccer leagues around the world. Among players who played more than 1,200 minutes this season, their participation in defense was evaluated based on the distance they ran at a speed of more than 25 km/h during the defense process and the number of times they applied pressure to the opponent even without physical contact or touching the ball. 100 points were given. Ranked 1st. It runs without stopping. The problem was defense. Tottenham gave up 61 goals with the final game remaining, which is the most goals among UCL competing teams. There are only 6 scoreless games. Locals point out that there is a problem with coach Anzhi Postekoglou's aggressive tactics. Because the overall line was kept high to press forward, space behind the defense often opened up. Quick-footed center backs Christian Romero and Mickey van der Pen stepped in to cover, but if they missed the game due to injury or made a mistake, it inevitably led to a goal being conceded. There was also a large difference in performance between key players and bench members. When the player who was supposed to implement Coach Postekoglou's Plan A got injured, the performance suffered greatly. Representative examples include central defender Van der Pen and wing defender Destiny Udoggi. Radu Dragusin, Ben Davis, and Emerson Royale, who replaced them, failed to perfectly embody Coach Postekoglou's football. There were no problems in attack as Son Heung-min played without any major injuries throughout the season, but Tottenham's attack clearly weakened in the absence of James Maddison. If Son Heung-min had left due to injury, Tottenham's ranking might have been lower than it is now. Coach Postekoglou is likely to maintain attacking football next season. To achieve this, it is urgent to recruit players who fit this summer’s tactics. However, due to the failure to advance to the UCL, it is unclear whether Tottenham will be able to bring in high-quality players. 안전 슬롯사이트
