Son Heung-min collapsed in the forced force.
Tottenham beat Karabakh Azerbaijan 3-0 in the first round of the “2024-2025 UEFA Europa League” league phase at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 27th.
Son started as left flanker and played for 71 minutes until the 25th minute of the second half. He failed to score an offensive point, but fired a threatening shot, which could be the starting point for Tottenham’s third goal, contributing to his victory. He had two shots, one key pass, and 88 percent 28/32 passes of success rate on the day.
With his team leading 2-0, Son hit a shot that served as the starting point for the net goal at 23 minutes in the second half. Son grabbed the ball from the so-called “Son Heung-min Zone” outside the box, and the goalkeeper fired a shot that was curled low with his left foot. Solanki, who was rushing towards the goalpost, kicked the second ball as it was to finish the game.
Local media also gave Son a favorable evaluation. “He provided chances to attack by actively moving from the left side,” the British newspaper Football London said, giving Son a rating of 7. As his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, Solanke grabbed it again and scored a goal.
“As Tottenham captain, he failed to display neat performance. However, with counterattacks, Son’s speed caused huge problems to Karabakh. Son’s shooting also served as the starting point for the additional goal.”
Immediately after scoring the goal, Son was in an unstable situation. He did not show up despite the goal ceremony of his teammates, but sat on the ground and couldn’t stand up. Although it is not known exactly, Son was seen grabbing his hamstring throughout the second half, and his gesture seemed to be a problem as if he was kicking the ground during the shooting process. Coach Enze Postecoglou excluded Son and deployed Timo Werner to prevent injury. Son was a bit limp and came to the bench. 토토사이트 추천
During September, Son played as many as seven matches including the league, the cup, the UEFA Champions League and the A-match. He is displaying strong performance that could strain his body.
Britain’s “Evening Standard” said, “Son Heung-min was replaced because he felt abnormal in his physical condition and caused a big concern to Postecoglou.”
Postecoglou was asked about Son during the post-match press conference. According to the British media “Football London” on the day, when asked if Son is okay, he replied, “I haven’t talked with him yet. I just said Son is a little tired. I haven’t talked with the medical staff yet.”
