Only Son Heung-min (Tottenham) cries again.
Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, will play the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 in the 2024-2025 season at the AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar, Netherlands, on the 7th (Korea time).
I desperately hope so. Tottenham had 10 wins, 3 draws and 14 losses (33 points) in 27 matches of the English Premier League during the 2024-2025 season. It is ranked 13th out of 20 teams. He was also eliminated from the Carabao Cup and the English Football Association (FA) Cup. At least, he continues his challenge to win the Europa League. Tottenham went straight to the tournament in fourth place with five wins, two draws and one loss in the Europa League phase this season.
Injury variables occurred ahead of the showdown. 'Core'Deyan Kulusevski's rise. British media BBC reported on the 5th that Kulusevski will be tested for injury concerns. Tottenham face Alkmaar in Europa League clash. Tottenham's last chance to win the trophy this season is reported. Reporter Paul O'Keeffe, who is familiar with Tottenham news, also said 'Kulusevski injured his foot. Further examination is in progress. Kulusevski is the core of Tottenham. He has scored seven goals and four assists in 27 league games this season.

There is another problem. Because of Christian Romero. Tottenham's main centre-back Romero has been sidelined for a while due to injury. In the return match, he was replaced in 15 minutes due to injury. Romero is expected to return against Alkmaar. However, Romero sparked controversy by raising the possibility of joining the Argentine A team even before his return match.
In the end, it is Son Heung-min's performance again this time in a chaotic situation inside and outside the ground. Son Heung-min is expected to lead Tottenham's attacks with Brennan Johnson, Wilson O'Donbert and James Medicine.
Son Heung-min started the EPL away game against Ipswich on the 23rd of last month and recorded two assists. He scored 10 goals and 10 assists in 35 official games this season, becoming the fifth player in his career to achieve double-digit goals and assists this season. He also scored 126 goals and 71 assists in 326 EPL matches, achieving 70 goals and 70 assists. Son Heung-min's 70 goals and 70 assists in the EPL is the 11th valuable record in history. However, in the subsequent match against Manchester City, he came off the bench. After the game, Postecoglou said, "(Son Heung-min and others have already played a lot of time, so I thought a little recovery and rest would help us. We need as many options as possible because the league and the Europa League are in a row."
