[Tottenham Training Center (London, England) = Egan Sports Chosun, reporter] Tottenham manager Enzi Postecoglou declared that there is no reason not to send Son Heung-min to the national team for his health care.

Son Heung-min was replaced by himself during the first round of the Europa League phase against Karabakh at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 26th. It was in the 23rd minute of the second half when they were leading 2-0. Tottenham scored a decisive goal in the 23rd minute of the second half. Son Heung-min attempted a right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area. The goalkeeper hit it. Solanke jumped in and scored a goal. Son Heung-min's third help of the season was recognized.

Son Heung-min, who saw the goal, sent a replacement sign to the bench. After shooting, he must have felt a strain on his thigh. Son Heung-min collapsed as it was. I touched my left thigh after I collapsed. Tottenham quickly replaced Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min, who met in the mixed zone after the game, said "It's really good "

At a press conference on the 27th, Postecoglou said, "(The players played hard and were quite tired in yesterday's game (against Karabakh)," adding, "(Everything is okay except for Son Heung-min)." "Son Heung-min doesn't seem to be a big injury. They want to train tomorrow. We will decide after looking at the condition."

There was also talk about the transfer of the national team. Son Heung-min also flew to Seoul for the World Cup qualifiers during the A-match period in September. After playing against the Palestinians in Seoul, they flew to Muscat, Oman, for the match against Oman. Then I came back to London. The distance alone was more than 20,000 kilometers. We have to go through a similar journey in the October A-match. In response, Tottenham fans are suggesting not to send Son Heung-min to the national team to manage him.

However, Postecoglou was adamant. "There is no chance that " (he will not be sent to the national team). Because I know how important the national team is." I knew the reality. He said "Of course, if you don't play for the national team, you can see it as a benefit to the club`But one day Son Heung-min will no longer be able to play for the national team. Therefore, I want Son Heung-min to play as much as possible. I don't want anything to happen that I regret not being able to represent the country."

I respected Son's choice. Coach Postecoglou said, `It's up to the players themselves to make these decisions"You know best how the player feels about his career. No matter how long your career is, that time is short compared to your whole life. "You want to fill that time as much as possible and you will try to make as many memories as possible. Because one day, I won't have a chance to play for the national team anymore."

Postecoglou said it would be better not to play for Son Heung-min for the clubThere will never be a selfish remark of .'"
