Is there a reason why Tottenham Hotspur or Enze Postecoglou deliberately demeaning the teenage prospect who just joined the team and not playing in the game. Moreover, Tottenham is disappointed with one player due to continuous injury issues from the beginning of the season. Anyone should use it if it can help the team.
Nevertheless, Tottenham is turning a blind eye to Yang Min-hyuk (19), who joined the team early last month. It was even excluded from the FA Cup game against the fifth division team. There is only one thing that this situation means. This is because Yang Min-hyuk did not meet the standards of Tottenham club and Postecoglou. In a word, it means that he has not shown his ability to play.

A fan asked a question. "There is no signal at the club level so far about Yang Min-hyuk, who just came to England. I wonder if it's a strategic reason or an injury.'
Reporters O'Keefe replied. "Tottenham focuses on adapting Yang Min-hyuk to football with England".
Another fan asked. "Then can Yang Min-hyuk play for the U-21 team?" Regarding this, reporter O'Keefe responded, `Yang Min-hyuk is currently focusing on taking English lessons. Depending on the speed of adaptation, coach Postecoglou may be given a wide range of options in the first team. But (Yang Min-hyuk's skills) are closer to youth academy level than Archie Gray or Lucas Beribal."
Although it is not the official position of the Tottenham club, this answer from reporter O'Keefe, who has been covering and writing about the Tottenham situation for a long time, shows the reality of Yang Min-hyuk.

For some reason, Yang Min-hyuk failed to pass the reference point between Tottenham and Postecoglou.
Yang Min-hyuk moved to England late last year and joined Tottenham. Originally, he was scheduled to join in January, but Tottenham asked him to join early. The reason for the early joining was not disclosed at the time, but it can be said that this included an overall level test for Yang Min-hyuk.

If you join the team training, you can see this quickly. Even if Postecoglou does not have any preconceived notions about the K-League or Yang Min-hyuk, Yang Min-hyuk's level is immediately revealed by training him with other players. In other words, he did not meet expectations.
Maybe it's because Yang Min-hyuk lacked his original skills or because he accumulated fatigue in the process of coming back from the K-League. Or he couldn't adapt to the local atmosphere, such as language. There can be many reasons. However, what is certain is that coach Postecoglou and Tottenham's club decided that Yang Min-hyuk could not be sent to the first-team game.

Thanks to this performance, Tottenham came to Korea and decided to recruit Yang Min-hyuk. However, unlike his performance in the K-League season, Yang Min-hyuk's appearance at Tottenham's training ground was only at the level of a youth academy. It is not known whether the K-League itself is 'under-level' as Postecoglou said, or whether Yang Min-hyuk's skills have regressed.
What is certain is that Yang Min-hyuk has to grow up in the youth team for quite some time. It is expected that a lot of patience will be needed to see it in the first-team game.
