Son Heung-min watched his team's 1-1 draw with Leicester City in the first round of the 2024-2025 Premier League on the 20th (Korea time).
British media 'HITC' assessed that there was no unusual change in the first round, and the result was simple, but the result of Leicester City's draw with Tottenham was surprising.
Tottenham football expert Jamie O'Hara noted Son Heung-min and center back Christian Romero as the main culprits of the defeat.
O'Hara said, "Tottenham were able to get enough of the game in the first half. The second half was disappointing and Son Heung-min was not good enough. Romero was a complete mess, too", he pointed out.
British media outlet Football London gave Son a rating of five points. Football London gave Solanke a good cross early in the game. There were a few shining moments, but it wasn't enough. As the game progressed, it was not visible' he said negatively.
Another media outlet '90min'Son Heung-min fizzled out good opportunities with a few wrong touches' set up a blade.
Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou also praised himself for his lack of goal-scoring ability.
According to 'TalkSport', Postecoglou "I thought the second half started well. For the first 15 minutes, we had the upper hand. But it was wasteful in front of the goal. We have not shown enough determination. There was a lack of composure in and out of the box"The attackers were held accountable.
Postecoglou added "In a football game, it is always dangerous for an opponent to go up and score once. That's exactly what happened. The opponent gained momentum. We lost our composure. If you keep missing opportunities like today, you can't expect better results."

Son Heung-min and Tottenham's official contract ends this season. The contract expires in the summer of 2025. However, the news about the renewal of the contract is still quiet.
Even at the start of the 2023-2024 season, it was widely predicted that Son Heung-min would sign a major renewal. However, as the sun changed, such a story went straight into it. There have been reports that Tottenham will invoke the option of 'extended one year', which is also muted.
Tottenham recruited three teenage wingers during this summer's transfer window: Mikey Moore, Yang Min-hyuk, and Wilson O'Doubert. He left his future with Son Heung-min unclear and transfused a large number of young players into the same position. It is not unreasonable to interpret that he is preparing to say goodbye to Son Heung-min.
In this situation, if Son Heung-min fails to show his presence, chances are high that Tottenham will not even implement a one-year extension option, let alone renew the contract.
Of course, it's just the first game. Statistics websites such as HuscoordCom and Footmob gave Son 7.2 and 7.3 points, respectively, and evaluated them easily.
