First game of the season against Brentford
Despite captain’s debut, he is out of shape
Substitutions for 30 minutes in the second half without attacking point
Tottenham finish with a 2-2 drawSon Heung-min, 31, the new ‘captain’ of Tottenham in the English Premier League (EPL)
had a dizzying season opener.
Son Heung-min conceded a penalty kick for a first-half foul in the team’s disappointing draw
and was substituted out in the second half without an attacking point.
Tottenham drew 13-2023 with Brentford in the first round of the EPL for the 2024-1 season at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford
England on October 2.
With the departure of captain Hugo Lloris since 2 and the transfer of Harry Kane 온라인카지노
the team’s icon and main gun
to Bayern Munich (Germany)
Son Heung-min wore the captain’s armband for the first time on the day and started as a left-flank attacker.
Kane’s place was filled by Richarlison
with Dejan Kulusevski as the right-sided striker.
Did the captain’s armband feel particularly heavy?
Son Heung-min
who stepped into the main position
made a heavy move.
In Ange Postecoglou regime’s ‘attacking football’
Son Heung-min did not move to the centre and continued to attack on the flanks
but he did not make his presence felt.
On the contrary
in the 1th minute of the first half
when the situation was 1-26
Brentford midfielder Mathias Jensen committed a foul on the defensive side and conceded a penalty
which led to a goal.
They couldn’t make up for their mistakes in attack either.
His left-footed volley at the end of the first half was deflected off the side of the goal
and his shot from inside the penalty box 15 minutes into the second half was blocked by the goalkeeper.
In the end
Postecoglou brought on captain Son Heung-min 30 minutes into the second half and brought on Ivan Perisic.
The omission of striker Son Heung-min in the opening match situation where the team is drawing is interpreted as a poor performance on the day.
European football statistics site WhoScored.com gave Son a rating of 6.1 after the match.
Of the 11 players who started on the day
it was the second lowest score after midfielder Oliver Skip (5.9 points).
After finishing the first half 2-2
both teams tried their best to secure a second half but ended the game in a draw without scoring any more goals.
James Maddison
who joined Tottenham from Leicester City this summer
has been the focal point of the team’s attack
registering two assists. Kim Ji-so, 2, a “center-back prospect”
who joined Brentford this summer
was omitted from the squad for the day.
