Dec 12, 2024

Tottenham-based soccer expert Jamie O'Hara poured out sharp criticism on Son Heung-min. He is not a world-class player because he can no longer see the speed and sharpness of Son Heung-min.

I didn't deny Son Heung-min's performance at the club, but he evaluated his performance this season to be markedly different from last season.

O'Hara is an English Premier League player who has scored nine goals and seven assists in 93 games. In the second division, the Championship, he played in 84 games and scored two goals and 13 assists.

A football expert from Tottenham poured out sharp criticism on Son Heung-min. He is not a world-class player because he can no longer see the speed and sharpness of Son Heung-min.

"Son Heung-min is no longer a world-class player," said Jamie O'Hara, a soccer expert from Tottenham, on talk sports on the 11th (Korea Standard Time).

He did not deny Son's performance at the club.

"Son Heung-min has contributed 255 goals in 424 appearances for Tottenham throughout all tournaments. This is a great record for a player who mainly played in the side." Son joined the club in 2015 when Mauricio Pochettino was in charge. His first season was not outstanding, but he played great most of the time since then."

However, he evaluated that his recent performance is difficult to call a world class.

"He will remain a legend for the club, but he has come under criticism for scoring just five goals in 16 matches in all tournaments this season," O'Hara said. "When I talked about Son about a month ago, he was a world-class player. But not anymore. "The reality is that" "He was a great player at Tottenham, but I think it's time to find a replacement. I was criticized by Tottenham fans for saying this, but I'm right."

Ohara said, `Son Heung-min is still capable, but he is no longer the Son Heung-min we have seen for the past three or four years. He said, "I can't take over my opponent now, I've lost speed and sharpness.'

Son Heung-min is definitely struggling this season. It is true that the number of opportunities to play has decreased a lot due to injuries. However, the statistics show that it is similar to last season.

In the 2022-2023 season, Son Heung-min scored 17 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League. He averaged 2.4 shots, 1.9 key passes, and 1.1 dribbles per game.

This season, Son recorded four goals and four assists in the Premier League. He is averaging 1.9 shots per game, 2.1 key passes, and 1.4 dribbles.

It is true that Son Heung-min's contribution to goals per game has decreased. He averaged a goal or assist every 109.1 minutes last season, and he averaged every 117.75 minutes this season. It does not appear to be a significant difference.

Some say that O'Hara can express his opinion, but it is too early to devalue Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is still a player who can play for Tottenham, and it is still too early to judge that his ability has declined.

Jamie O'Hara is a player who has scored nine goals and seven assists in 93 appearances in the English Premier League. He also played in the second division, the championship. He played in 84 games and scored two goals and 13 assists.
