“Son Heung-min running again?!” Tottenham fans lash out at murderous schedule
‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) can’t rest. The 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) season is over, and he’s already preparing for the next game. In two days, they will play a friendly in Australia.
Tottenham will play a friendly against fellow EPL side Newcastle at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, on September 22nd. It’s a killer schedule. Son Heung-min and Tottenham’s season ended on Tuesday. After a 3-0 win against Sheffield United in the final round of 38, they finished the season with a record of 20 W, 6 D, 12 L (66 points) and fifth place in the league, punching their ticket to next season’s Europa League.
But Son Heung-min and the rest of the Tottenham squad couldn’t rest easy. They immediately boarded a plane for a friendly match two days later. The club uploaded a video of the players boarding the plane on Tottenham’s social media on Tuesday. Son Heung-min was smiling, but his tiredness was evident. The same was true for the other players. Forward Dejan Kuluczewski and defender Micky Vanderboven were also on the plane, looking like they were trying to smile.
With only two days of rest, and the distance traveled from England to Australia, Tottenham’s squad is likely to be tired. It’s a recipe for injury.
Tottenham fans have also criticized the club’s murderous schedule. “Fans are in disbelief at the club’s ridiculous decision to play just hours after 파워볼실시간 the EPL final,” the UK’s Sports Bible reported. According to the report, Spurs fans said, “It’s ridiculous what Spurs are doing,” and “I can’t believe the players are going through this. There’s nothing left but greed,” and ”It’s ridiculous that the players are going through this.
South Korean forward Son Heung-min has scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in 35 league appearances this season. He was aiming for the top goalscorer and top assists, but fell short. However, it was the third 10-goal, 10-assist campaign of his career. Only six players in EPL history, including Son Heung-min, have done this. Only Wayne Rooney, Mohamed 스포츠토토 Salah, Eric Cantona, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, and Didier Drogba have done it. Son Heung-min was also in the mix.
In his last game, against Sheffield Wednesday, Son provided an assist to take his tally to 10 goals and 10 assists. After going six games without an assist after his assist against Nottingham Forest last month, he was worried, but he was all smiles in his last game.
