'The time of confusion is over. 'Tottenham remains legendary'

Tottenham Hotspur's 'Captain' Son Heung-min (33)'s future has become clear. Now, he is ready to pour out all his energy to win the team again.

The immediate goal is 'Tado Liverpool'. Son Heung-min is expected to take the lead in offense in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinals against Liverpool at 5 a.m. on the 9th (Korea time). Both Son Heung-min and Enze Postecoglou are exerting great enthusiasm.




British media 90min predicted Tottenham's starting lineup in an article dealing with the prospect of the Carabao Cup semifinals between Tottenham and Liverpool on the 8th. Regarding Tottenham's current situation, the media said, `Tottenham is missing many first-team players due to injuries. In addition, James Maddison and Pape Sard will also be sidelined due to the suspension. Both players received two yellow cards in the previous round"I let the rhyme go.

In addition, regarding the current status of the defense, which has caused many vacancies due to injuries "In Tottenham's defense, goalkeepers Guglielmo Vicario, Christian Romero, Mickey van der Pan, Ben Davies and Destiny Udogi will all be absent." Goalkeeper Fraser Forster was sidelined by illness last weekend. This could lead to the appearance of the newly recruited KinskiWhile Wilson O'Dober and Hishalisson are also absent due to long-term injuries, Postecoglou explained that Mikey Moore may join on the day of the game.

As such, the Tottenham squad cannot be considered the best. In particular, the defense is in a bad situation.

In this situation, expectations for Son Heung-min, the leader of the offense, are inevitably high. Son Heung-min is also renewing his commitment to the match against Liverpool.

Son Heung-min has suffered a lot. This is because Tottenham's silence on renewing contracts and invoking contract extension options has caused confusion by rumors of a transfer to another team led by Barcelona. However, everything became clear when Tottenham announced on its official channel on the 7th that it would invoke the option to extend the contract with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min will play as Tottenham's ace until June next year.

Son Heung-min also expressed his relaxed mind. He said on his social network service (SNS) on the 8th, `I'm very happy. Had a happy 10 years at Tottenham, proud to be able to play another year. EPL is a stage that everyone dreams of as a child.




"From the moment you take the captaincy of the EPL team, you should make a lot of progress and try to be an example to other players. Responsibility is also needed. There are times when it's hard, but you have to continue to be comfortable with yourselfI always thought "Whenever I went through a bad time, the time to rebound comes". It means that if you have a bad time, a good time will come again" he said.

It is an expression of determination to continue the team's captaincy again with a new determination. If Son Heung-min's resolution is reflected in the match against Liverpool, he can show his energy to overcome the bad team situation.

Postecoglou also welcomed the extension of Son's companion. He said on the club's website "I am happy that Son Heung-min, who has made a big impact in the EPL over the past 10 years, will stay at Tottenham more. Son already has a very good career at Tottenham, he said. `Now Son's next goal is to finish his career with a win at Tottenham.'

Ahead of the important showdown with Liverpool, all the chaotic situations have been sorted out, and both coaches and players are united.

90min expected Son Heung-min to start against Liverpool and lead the attack. The media predicted that Tottenham will operate a 4-2-3-1 formation and expected Son Heung-min to play as a right winger behind front-line one-top Dominic Solanke. Behind Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min make up the second line of attack.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma were then expected to take the waistline, while Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray and Jed Spencer would be in charge of the four backs. Kinski, the newly recruited goalkeeper, is expected to take the lead in the selection.

Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min, who actually signed a 'life contract' with Tottenham, will score a goal against Liverpool to break through the gateway to his first career championship. For reference, the expected score of 90 min was a 2–2 draw.
