Postecoglou was asked about his future plans related to Yang Min-hyuk at a press conference before the 20th round of the EPL 2024-2025 season against Newcastle United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 4th (Korea time).
In response, Postecoglou "There are no special plans for Yang Min-hyuk yet, and adaptation comes first. The club is helping Yang Min-hyuk adjust well in the early stages`"Yang Min-hyuk is still young and he came from the other side of the world where his standards are not up to here.'
Yang Min-hyuk is a player who played in the K League. Coach Postecoglou's remarks could also mean lowering the level of the K-League. As Yang Min-hyuk is also a young player, it is pointed out that such remarks can lead to misunderstanding among players, so caution is needed.

Yang Min-hyuk's debut match at Tottenham was against Tamworth in the third round of the FA Cup on the 12th. As it is a team belonging to the fifth division of England, it is highly likely to rest key players such as Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson because it is considered weak.
Recently, Tottenham podcast host John Wenham also said "We could see Yang Min-hyuk's debut in the third round of the FA Cup if we were lucky."
Fans' expectations are rising. However, it is true that it is difficult to expect Yang Min-hyuk, who has played in the K-League for a year, to even sit on the bench against Tamworth, as he is determined to give sufficient rest and adaptation time.
I have high expectations for Yang Min-hyuk at Tottenham.
BR Football in the U.K. on the 3rd "A potential superstar named Yang Min-hyuk came into Tottenham."He's a player who can help Tottenham right now," he said.
The BBC also reported on the 1st that `With the new year, Yang Min-hyuk has the opportunity to register for Tottenham ahead of his debut in the first division.'

The team lost 1-2 to Newcastle on the 5th, making it a team without a win for four consecutive games. There is a desperate need for a player who will energize the team with energetic plays like Yang Min-hyuk.
Tottenham recruited Yang Min-hyuk from Gangwon FC in July last year for a transfer fee of 3.4 million pounds (about 6.1 billion won). Yang Min-hyuk played in 38 games in K League 1 last season, scoring 12 goals and 6 assists.
Kim Byung-ji, CEO of Gangwon FC, praised Yang Min-hyuk. This is because he has the mental strength and skills that also work in the English Premier League (EPL).
In an interview with the BBC, Kim said, `Yang Min-hyuk is fast, he can play left and right. He said, "I can use both feet, so I have similarities with Son Heung-min."
Yang Min-hyuk mainly uses his right foot, but he can also use his left foot and play anywhere in the right and left wingers' positions. In particular, it is considered an advantage because it has dribbling using speed and right foot decision ability that flashes even in difficult situations.
