Coach Anze Postecoglou defended Son Heung-min (Tottenham)'s recent slump. He showed unwavering faith, saying he could not question his ability.

Football London reported on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) that Tottenham manager Postecoglou responded to the question "Isn't expectations changing for Son Heung-min who is getting older?", saying "I don't agree".

Postecoglou says "Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) seems to have been asked the same question a year ago`"Son Heung-min still has physical abilities, qualities, and mental strength. I don't think he's losing his ability because of his age."




"Son Heung-min's performance this year is not as good as last year's, but I think this year will be as high as in the past," he said. "I think the reason why he slowed down this season is because of his playing time. It's because I haven't been able to play regularly this year due to several injuries." "I think the more you play regularly, the more records you'll be able to make," he added.

Postecoglou, in particular, praised Son for his passionate efforts and dedication.

Postecoglou said, `Even in training, Son is a very optimistic, energetic and passionate person. It's easy to see that you're in such a bad mood, but that rarely happens."




Tottenham are currently struggling with injuries and absences. Seven first-team players are not allowed to play in the upcoming away match at Bournemouth in the Premier League. For this reason, some point out that more players should have been formed at the start of the season.

In this regard, Postecoglou insisted that the squad should be strengthened with capable players, not just a squad that fills the head. Regarding the squad of the team, he mentioned that it still needs to be strengthened.

Postecoglou added "It's not just a squad with a lot of numbers. A team made up of players who can contribute to the team is more important" and "We don't think we have the ability to do that. It went through three transfer periods to build a team, squad and style of play." "We need to continue to strengthen to have squads and players groups that can compete in big tournaments," he said.




Postecoglou has a tremendous talent for the teenage players he recruited this year, including Archie Gray, Lucas Beribal, Wilson O'Dowbert and Yang Min-hyuk" he evaluated. However, they were cautious, saying that it is still to be seen whether they can all fulfill their potential.
