After the match against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur 'Captain' Son Heung-min's voice contained despair.
Tottenham lost 3-6 to Liverpool in the 17th round of the 2024-2025 Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 23rd (Korea time). Tottenham (7 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses, 23 points), which failed to add points, fell to 11th place in the league. Liverpool, on the other hand, solidified its lead with 12 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss and 39 points.
Tottenham is suffering from a series of injuries. On this day, he came out with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Dominic Solanke is in charge of the front line, and Son Heung-min, James Maddison and Dejan Klusevski are in charge of the second line. Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr backed the midfield, while Jed Spence, Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin and Pedro Porro formed a four-back. Frazier Foster was in charge of the goal.
Tottenham were taken from the start. He gave Díaz the first goal in the 23rd minute of the first half and allowed an additional goal to McAllister in the 36th minute of the first half. Tottenham seemed to close the gap with Madison's chasing goal, but they finished the first half trailing 1-3 when they lost to Sobosler again in the extra time of the first half.
Even in the second half, the pattern did not change. Tottenham, which lost to Salah in the 9th minute of the second half, lost to Salah's left-footed shot six minutes later. Tottenham narrowed the gap again with goals from Klusevski in the 27th minute of the second half and Solanke in the 38th minute of the second half, but he bowed his head in the 40th minute of the second half when Díaz allowed a right-footed turning shot. Son Heung-min was replaced by Timo Werner in the 36th minute of the second half without an offensive point.
British media Cutoffside gave Son a rating of 3. The lowest score among Tottenham players in the starting lineup. Considering that players who have performed poorly are usually given a rating of 5 and in severe cases, a rating of 4 is harsh, but it is also proof that they cannot be free from responsibility for Tottenham's poor performance.
Son told British Sky Sports after the match, `It's really disappointing. In particular, six runs at home is the worst result. It's really painful." Asked whether the defeat against Liverpool after the midweek game was due to the aftermath of the physical burden, "What should I say. As a soccer player, I always want to play. But now, we have to work hard to recover and make sure that as many players as possible come backAfter expressing the problem of the injured, "I don't want to make an excuse. We have to be ready and prepare for the game as sharp as possible."

Tottenham is moving away from the championship this season. Analysts say that the problem of injuries is lurking, but coach Enze Postecoglou's aggressive tactical style is also the cause. In response, Son Heung-min said, `Football always comes with risks. You can get a run even when you step back. "This is our style of play. We have to endure it together, whether it's good or difficult times." He said "Today's game was very disappointing. It will be the same for players, clubs, and fans. "The game schedule is tight, but we all have to join forces. We need to talk to each other and prepare for a rebound."
Son Heung-min has scored five goals in 13 out of 14 games this season. The contract with Tottenham expires after June next year, but no news has been heard about the renewal of the contract.
In the UK, Tottenham is expected to activate the option of a one-year contract with Son Heung-min. Fabrizio Romano earlier initiated the process of invoking the option of Tottenham extending Son's contract with Son until June 2026"(Son Heung-min will be accompanied by Tottenham for at least one more season.).
However, there are predictions that Son Heung-min will steadily transfer.

Earlier, it was predicted that Son Heung-min would return to the German Bundesliga. Bayern Munich is aiming for Son Heung-min. In particular, there is news that Harry Kane, who was a 'best friend' when he was at Tottenham, is openly supporting Son Heung-min's recruitment.
Son Heung-min has played for 10 seasons since joining Tottenham in 2015. He scored 166 goals and 77 assists in total, showing a remarkable performance among all the players who played for Tottenham. In particular, his leadership in and out of the pitch was considerable. However, despite such performances, the issue of renewal of contracts overlaps, and it seems to be falling into a victim of the team's recent sluggishness. Whether the accompanying Tottenham can continue is falling into the fog.
