"Did he mean to come quickly and learn again?"

Yang Min-hyuk (19, Tottenham), who received attention as a new Korean Premier Leaguer, has yet to make his EPL debut. Yang Min-hyuk, who left for England early at Tottenham's request last month, was given his uniform number 18 in January and completed his official registration. However, he has yet to appear in the actual game.

He also failed to play in the FA Cup match against Tamworth, which was expected to be a strong debut. Since then, it has not even been able to enter the replacement list. As well as anticipation for his debut, his nervousness is growing.

However, maybe Yang Min-hyuk's EPL debut game will not be held within this season. This conclusion can be reached by combining the consistent remarks and actions of Tottenham and coach Enze Postecoglou and the analysis of the local media.

Yang Min-hyuk was brought in early, but he seems to have decided that he is not in shape or skill to play. So, it means that the youth team should rather stop expecting and build up the foundation firmly.

First of all, this atmosphere was first detected in Postecoglou's strong remarks.

Coach Postecoglou held a pre-press conference ahead of the 20th round of the English Premier League (EPL) match between Newcastle and 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 4th (Korea time). Here came a question about Yang Min-hyuk, but he said he only made harsh remarks.

He "I don't have any special plans. I'm letting them adjust well. Still very young, from the other side of the world. The level of competition there (K League) is incomparable to the level you will meet here (EPL). It's a completely different stage. "I think having Son Heung-min will be of great help. I'm trying to help them adapt quickly inside and outside the club. I don't have any special plans, and I'll watch them adjust and proceed accordingly."

He is too frank when it comes to remarks made to new prospects. In addition, it was a remark that caused anger from Korean fans as it contained a view that underestimated the K-League too much.

However, the level of his remarks was different from what he expected, and all of these remarks were from Postecoglou's sincerity. Watching Yang Min-hyuk, who joined the team, it is highly likely that he was disappointed in terms of his physical condition and skills, unlike the record. That's why it was classified as 'cultivation' instead of 'real use'.

Postecoglou moved according to what he said. Tottenham also seems to have given full power to Postecoglou on this part. Coach Postecoglou rarely gives Yang Min-hyuk a chance to experience real games. Tottenham is currently in a precarious position, so there is no room to give experience points in consideration of prospects. We need to use a player who is helpful to the team and can bring about victory right away.

So even in the FA Cup against Tamworth in the fifth division, he almost all of the main members were dispatched. There is no room for Yang Min-hyuk in Postecoglou's mind. The fire has fallen on the top of the foot.

In conclusion, it is very unlikely that Yang Min-hyuk will come out during the remaining league schedules or cup competitions in the future. At least until the end of this season, Postecoglou's stance is likely to be maintained. Tottenham and Postecoglou identify Yang Min-hyuk as a 'cultivation' player who should develop his potential, not a 'real use' that can be used immediately. At least this season, this trend is expected to be maintained. Depending on how much Yang Min-hyuk grows during this period, he will have an opportunity to play on the EPL stage in the future.
