"At a difficult time for Tottenham, Son Heung-min's form deteriorated...."
The BBC expressed strong concern about Son Heung-min's dropped form.
Son Heung-min's Tottenham confirmed its early elimination by losing 1-2 against Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup on the 10th (Korea time).
Son Heung-min missed one crucial chance each in the first and second half of the day. In particular, it was painful to miss a one-on-one chance following Mikey Moore's cross in the 23rd minute of the first half. It was a decisive chance that Son Heung-min, who is famous for his strong and calm finish at one-on-one, would have shaken the net of course.
Tottenham, ranked 14th in the league, was also eliminated from the FA Cup after losing 0-4 in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal against Liverpool, and now only looks at the Europa League this season. Amid criticism from media and fans, with a number of soccer statistics media and media giving Son Heung-min the lowest rating of the offense, the BBC also voiced its voice on the 11th, saying, `Tottenham Captain Son Heung-min has been sluggish for a while.'
Son Heung-min has scored only one goal in the past eight games and has only one assist. Son Heung-min, the former Golden Boot (scoring champion), expressed regret, saying, "I don't know if it's because of his playing time, but Son Heung-min's deterioration in form at Tottenham, which has already become weak, could not be worse." 'The slump continued in the match against Aston Villa. Down 0-1, Son missed a golden opportunity for Martinez to tie the game by blocking his shot from close range, and even after that, he had little effect on the game.'Son Heung-min recorded just 23 touches in the match, seven of which came from his own side. The only player who recorded fewer ball touches than this was Mike Moore, who was replaced at half-time,' he said, revealing Son's touch map.
As criticism continued against some players, including Son Heung-min and goalkeeper Kinski, Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou made it clear to protect the players. "It's okay to convict me. But please don't criticize the outstanding Tottenham players!" raised his voice. "People can condemn me. I can say things like I didn't work well or I'm not good at it. That's all right." `What I want to say is that we should not criticize our players' performance in the current situation,' he said."If players judge and measure what they are doing with the exception of the current extreme situation, the analysis is distorted and not objective. What very few players have done in the last two and a half months deserves better evaluation." "If it's because you want to get rid of me, it's okay. You can do it a million times. But the way our players have shown over the past two and a half months has been amazing. I can't rate them more highly than this,' he said, covering the players who have been struggling in the injured ward where 11-12 key players have disappeared. "Every Thursday and Sunday, it's been more than two and a half months since I asked players aged 17-18 and senior players to play constantly. If you think this doesn't affect our team's performance at all, there's nothing more I can say. "I think this team will be an outstanding team when the rest of the players join. There's no doubt about it.," he said emphatically.
