Only Son Heung-min (Tottenham) is hurt again.

Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, will play Nottingham in an away match in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at the City Ground in Nottingham, England, on the 27th (Korea time). There is a desperate need for a reversal. Tottenham were completely defeated by Liverpool 3-6 in the previous match.

Rodrigo Bentancourt is expected to return to this game. British media The Bootroom reported on the 24th that Bentancourt is preparing to return to the game against Nottingham. He was suspended by the English Football Association (FA) for inappropriate remarks about Son Heung-min. Postecoglou has announced Bentancourt's plans to return, reports said.




Postecoglou said, `I'm glad Bentancourt is back. He trained very hard. 'Boxing Day' remains to be seen. But it was very tricky to have to deal with without a key player for three weeks."

It's a shock. It was last June. Bentancur, a Uruguayan, appeared on his own broadcasting program and made remarks related to Son Heung-min. He was asked to get Son Heung-min's uniform from the host. Bentancourt said, `Even if you bring Son Heung-min's cousin's uniform, you won't know. It looks just like Son Heung-min or his cousin." 'Orients all look the same' was a statement of racist perception.

Bentancourt apologized to Son Heung-min through his personal SNS (social network service). The situation was not easily resolved. It was because of the authenticity of the apple. Bentancur posted an apology on a page that lasted only 24 hours. Sonny brother! It was a really bad joke. I apologize. You know how much I love you. I never meant to ignore or hurt you or anyone, of course. I love you. However, the problem grew even more by writing Son Heung-min as Sony, not Sonny, who is nicknamed Sonny. But Bentancourt didn't care. His messy apology disappeared in 24 hours, and Bentancur later freely conducted his SNS activities.




Last month, the FA denied allegations that Bentancourt had made. The Independent Regulatory Commission determined that there was evidence. 'The Independent Regulatory Commission has issued a seven-match suspension and a £100,000 fine for Bentancourt for violating FA Regulation E3 in connection with media interviews' As a result, Bentancourt did not play in six English Premier League matches against Manchester City (away), Fulham (home), Bournemouth (away), Chelsea (home), Southampton (away), and Liverpool (home). In addition, the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United on December 20 did not make an appearance.

The problem is the complacent perception of reality between Tottenham and Postecoglou. Earlier, Postecoglou defended Bentancourt as a `mistake' and rushed to reduce the situation. He said "We know Bentancourt very well. I made a big mistake this time. You must be punished. It should provide opportunities for others to learn from this as well. Son Heung-min and Bentancourt held discussions in their own way. I think they both understand and respect each other's positions. I accepted the fact that someone close to me made a mistake. It's an opportunity to atone for learning. We understand everything and dream of a tolerant society. It is no exception to those who have made mistakes. Like Bentancourt."
