 Son Heungmin is retiring? Don't make a hasty prediction! EPL winger Top Five POSTECH's cover!



[Tottenham Hotspur Training Center (London, England) = Egan Sports Chosun, reporter] Tottenham manager Enzi Postecoglou said he could not predict Son Heung-min's retirement prematurely.

Tottenham will play Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 26th (local time). A day before the match, Postecoglou took part in a press conference held at Tottenham Hotspur Training Center in London, England.

In the second half of the press conference, a question came out about Son Heung-min. It was a question of how much longer Son Heung-min, who turns 33 this summer, can play. Coach Postecoglou responded by waving his hands with laughter. The question was meant to be ridiculous.




"Son Heung-min was able to rest between games. It was a huge advantage. You could see the results at the game last weekend. I was able to recover between the game and the game. Son Heung-min had enough time for a week to regain his energy," he first expressed his thoughts. Then " (against Ipswich) The first half was outstanding. He was excellent in the previous game as well."

Postecoglou said with certainty.

"For players like Son Heung-min, it's better not to try to predict how long they will play. Because these players always go beyond any expectations. It's because of the way they manage themselves, the attitude of taking care of their bodies, and the level of performance."




He continued his assessment.

"It's been a difficult year for us this season, but Son Heung-min is still playing well. If you look at his record, it's still outstanding. Compared to any winger in the league, you'll still be in the top five. There are probably not many players who can match Son Heung-min given the consistency over the past 9 to 10 years. Probably in the top 10% of players in the same position in the Premier League. That's true, and he's still on a level. So there's absolutely no reason to say Son has slowed down."
