Son Heung-min’s front-line card has been repeated since the pre-season. It is inevitable because there is no suitable striker, but it is a glimpse of the possibility of Son Heung-min’s top in the new season.

Tottenham beat Queens Park Rangers (QPR) 2-0 in a friendly match on Loftus Road in London on the 20th. He showed a good flow of three consecutive wins in pre-season by catching Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) and QPR, including a closed practice match with Cambridge United earlier.

Tottenham used Son Heung-min as a central striker again. As Hisharlisong has been excluded due to an injury, there is no alternative to use him as a striker. Son Heung-min, who also showed off in the match against Hearts, unfortunately finished without a goal, but it was difficult to make changes again this time.

With Son Heung-min at the forefront, Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson were placed on the left and right. Lucas Beribal, Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr took over the midfield. Jamie Donley, Oliver Skipp, Archie Gray and Pedro Porro worked together for the four-back, and Brandon Austin kept the goal.

Tottenham shook the flow. In the midst of this, Beribal collapsed due to injury in the 24th minute of the first half. Beribal, who felt abnormal since the pre-season, was immediately replaced by Dejan Kulusevski.

Son Heung-min increased his concentration in a chaotic situation. He showed a bolder movement than in the previous game. He also had a chance to score in the 28th minute of the first half. Johnson’s cross was finished with a left-footed shot at the gate. Unfortunately, he failed to score as his shot was blocked by the opponent’s goalkeeper.

Nonetheless, Tottenham, which boosted the mood through Son Heung-min, scored the first goal in the 40th minute of the first half. After exchanging one-two passes with Kulusevski, Bissouma scored the first goal by even beating the goalkeeper who popped out to narrow the angle.

Son Heung-min had another chance. In the 44th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min finished a ground ball cross from Johnson’s right foot, but it did not hit properly. Werner’s shot before the end of the first half also failed to penetrate the goalkeeper.

Tottenham replaced all 11 starting players at the beginning of the second half just like it did at the match against Hearts. Son Heung-min also joined the bench. During the first 45 minutes, Son showed 80 percent pass success rate (December 15) and 50 percent shot accuracy (February 1). It was somewhat regrettable that he had two “big chance misses.”

In the second half of Tottenham, James Madison, Mikey Moore, Manor Solomon and Dane Scarlett were responsible for the second half.

In the second half, the score did not come out as expected. Tottenham, which included young players, faced a crisis rather than QPR’s onslaught. In the 14th minute of the second half, Emerson Royal fired a shot threatened by the opponent and blocked it, and in the middle of the second half, 메이저놀이터 he consecutively presented dangerous opportunities to QPR.

In a frustrating situation, Scarlett sealed the net in the 42nd minute of the second half. Scarlett penetrated the goal with a cross from Moore’s left to the out front. With this goal, Tottenham beat QPR 2-0 to continue its pre-season winning streak.

Having completed its early pre-season tour in Europe, Tottenham will now embark on its Asian tour. It will move to Japan and have an exhibition match with Vissel Kobe on July 27. It is Tottenham’s first Japan tour in 33 years.

Tottenham first visited Japan in 1971 and had three friendly matches with the Japanese All-Star. And the team has not had a chance since it joined the Kirin Cup hosted by Japan in 1991 when Tottenham won the FA Cup. Son Heung-min, who has played for Tottenham since 2015, is also the first player to stand in front of a Japanese soccer fan wearing a Tottenham uniform.

After the match against Kobe, he will visit Korea. Tottenham will hold a friendly match with the K-League All-Star at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on March 31, and face Bayern Munich on March 3.
