Tottenham fans' criticism of Son Heung-min is serious.
Recently, Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has been the subject of criticism from some Tottenham fans. It was the North London derby where the criticism began. Tottenham lost 0-1 to Arsenal in the fourth round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 15th (Korea time).
Tottenham faced Arsenal with the best lineup of the match, but collapsed in the 19th minute of the second half when they lost a point to Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalyangis. Tottenham, which failed to recover one goal, ended up losing two consecutive games following the previous match against Newcastle.
After the game, Son Heung-min also expressed regret. Son dominated the game in a post-match interview, but lost a set piece. I felt the same frustration as last season, and I think the fans would be disappointed. We have to develop, and we have to unite in difficult moments. Players should be responsible for scoring goals. To make the right decision, being cool is the hardest part of football. We will rebound strongly. There is a long way to go."

However, Tottenham fans expressed anger at one of Son's words. It was the claim that he dominated the game. British media reported 'Fans ignored Son Heung-min in the interview. They responded that dominating the ball is different from dominating the game,' he said, adding that fans refuted Son's opinion.
The British football fancast also said, `Son Heung-min is partly responsible for the team's blunt attacks. He has been offered practically nothing, and he has to sit on the bench for the League Cup match against Coventry City. He also insisted on excluding Son from starting, saying, 'Wilson O'Dober should be provided with a chance to start instead of Son Heung-min.
According to Global Sports Media Goal, Tottenham fans are saying, "'Son Heung-min is a shameful captain' and ' Domination doesn't win, stupid. He's probably the worst captain of all time', 'There's no leadership on the field. You should leave your seat to a man of authoritySome even argued that the captaincy should be deprived. In addition, Tottenham fans posted on social media 'He doesn't look good in the armband. I need another player','I can't expect much from him'

It is not the first time this season that serious criticism of Son Heung-min has been made. Son Heung-min was even rumored to be released after his poor performance against Leicester City in the last opening match. At the time, England's Football 365 was 'Son Heung-min is the perfect option for Tottenham's attack, but now it should be seen as just one of many options. Now he doesn't deserve a starting position against every situation, every opponent. There is no question about this either. Already, we have included Son Heung-min on the list of players Tottenham should sell this summer. He also evaluated that Son Heung-min is not unconditionally a starter and should be on the release list.
However, Tottenham fans did not agree with this at the time. On the other hand, even Tottenham fans criticized the interview, so Son Heung-min may be hit hard.

Meanwhile, considering Son Heung-min's achievements and influence at Tottenham so far, the criticism is excessive. Son Heung-min played 31 rounds of the league in the 2023-2024 season and succeeded in playing 400 matches in 295 EPL games, 44 English Cup tournaments such as the FA Cup and League Cup, and 61 UEFA club competitions such as the Champions League. Since then, the number of games played has increased further.
Even if Martin Chivers, the club's fourth-leading scorer, exceeds Tottenham's record of 174 goals, it is enough to have 164 goals, and it is possible to expect his 100th help in the EPL next season. In addition, he is ready to catch up with legends in several EPL career records. He also scored 122 goals overall in the EPL, ranking 21st in the all-time scoring list.
He also showed his legendary side. In a recent interview "I still want to achieve something. It's not up to me to decide whether I'll be the legend of this club. I wouldn't call myself a legend because I still want to win here. That's why I'm committed. I think our future is bright with coach Enze Postecoglou and this club. We need to keep improvingHe also showed his will to become a legend of the club without winning the championship.
Despite Son Heung-min's tremendous achievements at Tottenham so far, some fans have shown an extreme aspect of asking him to exclude him from starting every word he says. A quick rebound is expected to be needed to quell the disappointment of fans.
