'2006 Special' Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou's remarks related to Yang Min-hyuk seem to be interpreted too broadly.
Asked about Yang Min-hyuk, who was officially registered as a Tottenham player on the 1st, Coach Postecoglou said in a pre-press conference for the 20th round of the English Premier League (EPL) 2024-2025 season against Newcastle on the 3rd (Korea time), "There is no clear plan. I don't want to make my debut too much, saying, "Adaptation is the first thing."
Then "Yang Min-hyuk is still young. He came from the other side of the world, a level difference from where he has to run. Sonny (Son Heung-min) will help him adjust to the team."
In Postecoglou's remarks, there is no expression that directly undermines the K-League and Yang Min-hyuk. The reference to 'level' (level) is interpreted as an intention to emphasize that the EPL is a high-quality league. It is undeniable that the EPL and K-League show a big difference in football level and attention.

Coach Postecoglou had consistently appreciated his potential even before recruiting Yang Min-hyuk, who had been increasing his stock price from Gangwon in July last year. It is reported that the club's ambitious policy of raising the honor, such as Yang Min-hyuk, Lucas Veribal, and Mikey Moore, is also in progress under the agreement with Postecoglou. It is absurd to ignore prospects recruited with expectations even before their debut.
Regarding Yang Min-hyuk, who appeared at the Tottenham training center in Enfield last month, Postecoglou said, `Yang Min-hyuk seems to be in good physical condition. I am already preparing well enough to communicate in English. I like that posture," he said, without hiding his expectations.
It is also far from true that Tottenham treated Yang Min-hyuk as a 'less player'. It is based on the basis that Yang Min-hyuk has not yet been listed on Tottenham's website five days after the new year's brightness, and according to Yang Min-hyuk, almost all registration procedures for his debut have been completed, from issuing visas to taking profile photos.
An official from Yang Min-hyuk's side said on the 5th, `There is no problem, just because of the problem of including hyphen in Yang Min-hyuk's English name. Tottenham is working to confirm the name of the club in the contract."
If the holiday is over local time and the English name is decided to be 'Min-Hyuk' or 'Min-Hyuk', it is expected that the website will be registered. Yang Min-hyuk is said to have requested 18 of the empty numbers from the club.

Yang Min-hyuk, who headed to London, England, early on December 16 last year at the club's request, has been focusing on building his body for nearly 20 days. Rumor has it that Tottenham received quite good reviews during the first-team training and physical testing process. Yang Min-hyuk, who watched Liverpool, Wolverhampton and Newcastle on the spot, is likely to make his debut as early as the 9th through a home game in the first round of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool or an away game in the third round of the FA Cup against Tamworth (fifth division) scheduled for the 12th. If Postecoglou decides that Yang Min-hyuk needs more adaptation time, his debut could be delayed.
Currently, Tottenham has fallen to 12th place after falling into a swamp of four consecutive wins (one draw and three losses) in the league due to a 1-2 come-from-behind loss against Newcastle. For Yang Min-hyuk, who is new to the European stage, debuting in a cup competition can reduce the burden even a little. Yang Min-hyuk, who won the K League 1 Young Player Award in 2024, said in the last departure interview, `I'm ready and confident. "I want to play at Tottenham and increase the attacking point..." he said, expressing his lackluster ambition.
