England's The Boyhotsper reported on the 21st (Korea time) 'Jamie O'Hara harshly criticized Tottenham stars after the draw against Leicester'
Tottenham drew 1-1 in the first round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Leicester City in 2024-2025 at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 20th. It was a disappointing result for Tottenham.
Tottenham took the lead by scoring the first goal of the game. It was an attack that started with Son Heung-min. In the 29th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min delivered a pass to Madison from the right, and Madison crossed from the front of the penalty box arc to the center. Inundated, the prisoner pushed it into his back and shook Leicester's net as it was.
However, he failed to keep the lead until the end. In the 12th minute of the second half, Ndidi's pass was followed by Christiansen, and a cross flowed to Patau. Patau crossed into the center of the box as it was, and Vardy, who Romero missed, cut Tottenham's goal with a header in front of the gate. In the end, the game ended in a draw.

Son Heung-min did not show any meaningful performance despite Tottenham's early advantage. Despite maintaining the advantage for most of the game, he failed to take advantage. Oharanne did not spare any criticism after the game, especially for Son's performance. O'Hara said Son should have been more influential in these important matches. England's HITC also noted that `O'Hara blamed Son for ruining the game.'
O'Hara said "The second half was disappointing. Son Heung-min was not good enough. Tottenham should have overpowered Leicester in the first half"Body's goal was a great header, but where was Romero at the time. A world-class defender, won the World Cup, but it was a mess"Son Heung-min and Romero's performance was pointed out."

However, other than simply pointing out Son Heung-min's disappointment in this game, it is not easy to understand the performance problems of the entire season or to point out that Son Heung-min was the main culprit of this draw. Son Heung-min certainly served as the starting point for the first goal of the game and dribbled several times. However, Leicester did not have enough space to play as they responded to Tottenham's high line with a low and tight defense, and all Tottenham players had difficulty digging it out.
In addition, it is difficult to say that it is a proper analysis to knock down Son Heung-min's skills, which he already proved by scoring 17 league goals until last season, with just one game in the opening game of this season.
Criticism of the sluggish economy is also the fate of superstars. Tottenham's disappointing result eventually led to Son Heung-min at the core of the team. In the second round of the league's match against Everton at home on the 24th, it is expected that everyone will need to keep their mouth shut.
