I don't know how to use it properly, I don't even evaluate it properly... Son Heung-min, leaving Tottenham might be the answer

The criticism against Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) who is Son National is going too far. After the 0-1 defeat of Arsenal on the 15th (Korea time), the level of the game increased further. Tottenham was expected to have an edge against Arsenal, whose midfield collapsed due to Martin Odegaard's injury and Declan Rice's disciplinary action, but it only had a high possession and collapsed with a set piece after a frustrating game.
Son Heung-min, who stepped up to the left wing, made an altruistic play that focused on the connection. As a result, he finished the game without recording any effective shots. Back in the starting line-up 'Best Striker' Dominic Solanke was at his worst, while right wing Brennan Johnson repeated his mistakes. Coach Enze Postecoglou's style of increasing the number of attacks as much as possible remained, but he failed to bother Arsenal's defense.
None of the strikers were satisfied, but all the insults are directed at Son Heung-min. Especially "We dominated the game. The set-piece defense details were disappointing. "There is a long way to go, but it will surely rebound."Criticism has accelerated since the match interview. "There is no leadership.", "You have to come down from the main battlefield." Not only the back, but even the sound of "the worst argument we have". Of course, there was a response that "(Son Heung-min is legendary") but harsh voices continue.

It is doubtful whether coach Enze Postecoglou knows how to use Son Heung-min. In the match against Everton, which was close to the goal, Son Heung-min scored multiple goals. In other words, Son Heung-min is still capable. However, the British media focused on Son Heung-min, one of the best players in the English Premier League for 10 years, saying he had a poor game, and now fans have joined. Nevertheless, Son Heung-min is doing his responsibility without saying anything, but the situation continues to run out. Postecoglou is evasive about Son Heung-min's lack of set-piece tactics, and even covered Rodrigo Bentancur, who was racist towards Son.
Son's contract period is until this season. Of course, there is a one-year extension option, but Tottenham have yet to say anything. Son Heung-min is still an attractive player both in terms of marketing and skills. Several teams, including Atletico Madrid, are still salivating. Applause needs to be matched to make a sound. There is no one-sided loyalty. If you can't use a player who has devoted 10 years to the team properly or evaluate it properly, it's worth considering leaving Tottenham.
