'I want to cry alone.'

When all the members of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League cheer with joy in happiness, there is the only person who was in a gloomy look. Some things make sense when you look at the situation. Once expected to be the front-line striker of the team, he is now completely out of Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou's plans. It's Hishalysong who became 'backup of backup'. The future of Hishalisson is increasingly bleak.

Tottenham beat Everton 4-0 with Son Heung-min's multi-goal in the second round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 11 p.m. on the 24th (Korea time). It is a meaningful victory in many ways. First of all, this is Tottenham's first victory this season. In the first round, they drew 1-1 with Leicester City.

It is also meaningful that it is a victory with multiple points over the negative factors of the key striker's injury. Tottenham seek to recruit frontline striker in summer transfer window Just before the opening of the season, he finally managed to sign Dominic Solanke for a transfer fee of £65 million. Solanke will be at the forefront and Son Heung-min will be able to turn to his original preferred position, the left wing. It was expected that Tottenham's attack could be more stabilized.

In the opening game, Solanke finally appeared on the front line. However, he did not show a clear impact in the first game. Still, he showed expectations that he could gradually improve over time.

However, these expectations were dashed in just a few days. This is because Solanke suffered an ankle injury during team training. It seems that his condition deteriorated against Everton and his injury worsened in practice. As a result, Solanke will not be able to play for the time being. He was absent from the match against Everton in the second round. In the end, Son Heung-min had to return as a central striker.

Son Heung-min, who returned to the front line in a crisis, showed his true value. He scored goals in succession in the 25th minute of the first half and the 32nd minute of the second half, helping his team win 4-0. Yves Bissouma and Christian Romero also scored. Tottenham seems to be relieved for now. The joy of the first win is great.

However, contrary to this atmosphere, Hishalisson had to feel helpless again. Hishalisson was substituted for newly hired Odover in the 22nd minute of the second half and played about 30 minutes, but he did not show much performance. Above all, it should be noted that Solanke did not make the starting lineup even though he was out due to injury.

British media TBR Football said, `He seemed very angry despite his 4-0 victory over Everton. It includes a number of opinions from local experts. Pat Nevin told BBC Radio 5 that `Even if Postecoglou's decision was right, Hishalisson had an unhappy face on the bench' and"he clearly wanted to play. But we have to see what all the players who came out before him are doing well.' This means that Hishalisson's current position within Tottenham has completely faded.

Despite Solanke's injury, Hishalisson had to watch as many as five strikers play before him. This means that Coach Postecoglou considers Hishalisson to be about 'backup of backup'. What is serious is that we have to accept this position until the end of the season. He refused to transfer himself and said he wanted to stay with the team. It is too late to push for another transfer now. There is no choice but to make efforts to improve its position on its own or accept the current situation.
