‘Tottenham captain’ Son Heung-min, 5 games without a win, “unacceptable”

Tottenham's recent 1 draw and 4 losses

Son Heung-min, the captain of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL), argued that players should feel responsible for the five-game winless streak in the league.

Tottenham suffered a 1-2 comeback loss in the 15th round of the '2023-2024 EPL' against West Ham held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 8th (Korean time).

Defender Christian Romero scored the first goal in the 11th minute of the first half, but was unable to maintain the lead and lost by consecutive goals to Jared Bowen and James Ward-Prowse in the 7th and 28th minutes of the second half, respectively.

Tottenham, who led the team with 8 wins and 2 draws in the opening 10 games, fell to 5th place (27 points) after losing 5 consecutive games (1 draw, 4 losses).

According to 'Opta', a soccer statistics specialist, Tottenham is the first in EPL history to fail to win after leading 1-0 in five consecutive games.

Faced with poor performance and a humiliating record, captain Son Heung-min directly told the players that change was needed.

Son Heung-min said through ‘Amazon Prime’ after the game, “Whether we deserved to win or not doesn’t mean anything. We lost the game. “This is unacceptable,” he said.

He continued, “Players must take responsibility. Strikers must feel particularly responsible. “Because we had a chance to end the game,” he said, also pointing out the attackers’ poor scoring. casinositerank.com

Son Heung-min's remarks appear to be a scolding not only to the players who played that day, but also to himself.

Son Heung-min participated as a starter in this game and played for 88 minutes until the 43rd minute of the second half, but was unable to accumulate attack points.

In the match against Manchester City (3-3 draw) on the 4th, he boasted of light athleticism, recording 1 goal and 1 assist, but there was no flash in the match against West Ham.

It was so poor that it received low ratings from local media.

Meanwhile, Tottenham will host Newcastle United on the 11th to play the 16th round. Newcastle is currently 7th in the league with 26 points. gostopsite.com
