Son Heung-min quelled criticism of himself with his skills.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 24th (Korea time) "Son Heung-min quelled Jamie O'Hara's criticism."," he reported.
The media reported that `Son Heung-min has not shown his best form at all this season and has often been criticized by fans for his poor performance as Tottenham captain"Though "Things have improved somewhat in recent weeks, and positive changes are showing signs of beginning, beating Ipswich 4-1 last weekend."," he said.
At the center of criticism was captain Son Heung-min.
O'Hara, who played for Tottenham in the past, said in an interview, `When you look at Tottenham's recent matches against Liverpool and Aston Villa in the FA Cup, it was a moment to show that this team is competitive. However, as a result, it showed the complete opposite. There was no fighting spirit, no passion, no will, no leadership at all."
Then "I hate to admit it, but this team's lack of leadership comes from the coach and captain. Unfortunately, Son is no longer fit to be captain of this team."He is a fantastic player, he has shown tremendous dedication for the club, but he is not a leader who can unite the team in difficult moments" he evaluated.
He also said "The captain should lead the team in front, and he should take a strong grip on the team in a crisis situation. But Son Heung-min is not that type. It's time to hand over the captain's armband to another player."

Despite this criticism, Son Heung-min has shown remarkable performance in recent games.
Son Heung-min contributed greatly to defeating Ipswich Town 4-1 in the 26th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Portman Road Stadium in Ipswich, England on the 23rd.
Tottenham, which was struggling with Ipswich's strong pressure early in the first half, changed the tide with Son Heung-min's dribble.
Son Heung-min dribbled into the goal after receiving a lobbing pass from the left side in the 18th minute of the first half. Afterwards, Son Heung-min used a step-over to completely peel off one defender and put up a low and fast cross. Brennan Johnson, who was penetrating, connected it with a shot and scored the first goal.
Son Heung-min succeeded in helping once again eight minutes later.
In the 26th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min caught the ball on the left side and hit the center with the defender in front of him, connecting the pass to Johnson, who was in a no-mark chance. Johnson scored with a direct shot.

British journalist Henry Winter said, `What was interesting was that Son Heung-min performed impressively in the game even though he was no longer a young player. I thought he was getting less skillful, but it was definitely different in today's game." "There were mistakes made by the opponent's defense, but the scene where he recorded two assists was really good."," he added.
Son Heung-min has quelled criticism and is on a good track. If he finishes the league stably and wins the Europa League, he can also play in the Champions League next season.
