After pouring in nearly 200 billion won, Son Heung-min is the one-top. Tottenham, which recruited Hishalisson and Dominic Solanke, wasted money.

 

Son Heung-min's team Tottenham Hotspur lost 1-2 to Newcastle United in the third round of the English Premier League in the 2024-25 season at St. James Park in Newcastle-upon-Tain, England on the 1st.

 

Tottenham, which allowed Harvey Barnes to score the first goal in the middle of the first half, balanced it with an opponent's own goal early in the second half, but gave up the winning goal to Newcastle striker Alexander Isak in the 33rd minute of the second half. Following the 1-6 defeat in the 2022-23 season and the 0-4 defeat last season, it will mark its third consecutive away win.

 

On this day, Son Heung-min started as a left wing and played as a central striker from the second half, but played a poor game in which he could not hit a single effective shot for 90 minutes.

 

 

Son Heung-min, who was considered to be released by the British media due to his lackluster performance in the opening match against Leicester City, reversed public opinion by scoring a goal in a match against Everton just before, but he remained silent again in the away match against Newcastle. He was busy moving between the left and the center, but he was sluggish again, posting a shocking record of one shot and zero effective shots.

 

Son attempted to shoot near the box at the 10th minute of the second half. However, his shot was blocked by defender Dan Byrne's tackle. It was Son's only shot in the upcoming match.

 

Son Heung-min, who did not perform well, was given a harsh evaluation once again.

 

Alessdair Gold, a reporter for Football London in England and dedicated to Tottenham, said, "I made three key passes, but when I became a central striker in the second half, I had difficulty getting into the position to score a goal."

 

The British Evening Standard gave a more harsh evaluation. "He launched a menacing attack from the left side in the first half and made several menacing passes into the box. However, he had difficulty in performing his role as a center forward after halftime," the British media said, rating him five points. It was the lowest score among the starting strikers along with Dejan Kulusevski.

 

 

There is a reason why Son Heung-min has no choice but to continue to come out as a central striker. This is because the two strikers, Hishalisson and Solanke, who Tottenham recruited with great determination, fell side by side due to injuries.

 

Solanke joined Tottenham for 65 million pounds or 114.2 billion won from Bournemouth ahead of this season. However, he got hurt after the match against Leicester and skipped both Everton and Newcastle.

 

The same goes for Hishalisson. He transferred from Everton to Tottenham for 60 million pounds about 105.5 billion won two years ago, but has not displayed impressive performance in the past two seasons, and this season he is currently out of his team due to injury after the match against Everton.   메이저사이트

 

Adding to the transfer fee of the two players is almost 125 million pounds, which means it cost us 219.6 billion won and nearly 220 billion won. Tottenham is not having much effect even though it has spent a transfer fee to bring in a world-class striker. Rather, the sad thing of continuing to sacrifice in the center to Son Heung-min, who can play well on the left, is repeating.
