Tottenham will ungratefully sell SON Heung-min (33, Tottenham), who has been rumored to be on the verge of a big club move after a recent local opinion piece suggested a sale.
Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou said on Monday (Aug. 8), “Slumps are part of the football I love. It’s my job to feel it and overcome it,” he said, adding, “If we give up and get frustrated in difficult moments, why would I be here?”
Tottenham Hotspur lost 2-4 away to Liverpool in the 36th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on June 6. With the loss at Liverpool, Tottenham has conceded 14 goals in a hellish four-game losing streak (0-4 against Newcastle, 2-3 against Arsenal, 0-3 against Chelsea, and 2-4 against Liverpool), leaving them with 60 points and a seven-point gap between them and fourth-place Aston Villa (67 points) 카지노사이트 with three games remaining.
Against Liverpool, Tottenham put in a Jekyll and Hyde performance.
They took the lead in the 16th minute when Gakpo moved from the left flank to the center and sent in a cross that Salah headed home. Tottenham also conceded in first-half stoppage time. Robertson picked up the ball in the box and played it to Salah, who fired a shot that was powerless. Robertson pounced on the rebound and slotted the ball home.
Nothing changed for Spurs in the second half, especially left-back Emerson, who failed to adjust his defensive line and completely missed Salah, and Bentancur in the middle of the park.Liverpool’s third goal came five minutes into the second half when Gakpo scored with a pinpoint header from Elliot’s pass. Then, 14 minutes into the second half, Elliott made it 4-0 when he scored a wonder goal off a pass from Salah. The goals highlighted Postecoglou’s tactical ineptitude.
Spurs made changes in the 17th minute of the second half, bringing on James Maddison for Bentancur, Dejan Kulicepski for Hicharisson, and Oliver Skipp for Emerson. Tottenham’s game suddenly came alive when Heung-min Son moved to the left wing with the introduction of Tosun. In the 27th minute, Johnson’s pass was accurately finished by Tosun to make it 1-4.
Then, in the 32nd minute, Son Heung-min scored his 120th Premier League goal, finishing off a pass from Tosun.
Tottenham now trailed 2-4. There were no more goals. The game ended in a 2-4 defeat for Tottenham. The loss was Tottenham’s first four-game losing streak since the 2004-2005 season.
Postecoglou was unperturbed by the slump and vowed to get over it: “Slumps are part of what I like to do. It’s part of football to feel these things,” he said, adding, “If I don’t enjoy it or give my best in difficult moments, why would I be here?”
On the weight of being a head coach, Postecoglou said: “That’s part of my role. Honestly, it’s hard to face bad moments and bad moods as a coach, but I haven’t had them throughout my career, but you have to be calm to overcome them.”
Son celebrated his 300th PL appearance and 120th goal against Liverpool. His 120th goal equals Steven Gerrard’s record, which shows how much of an impact he has made in the PL. He followed that up with 17 goals and 9 assists, carrying the team single-handedly after Harry Kane’s departure.
However, despite these performances, some local fans are arguing that Tottenham should sell Son Heung-min. They argue that Son is one of the reasons for the team’s decline and that only by selling him and replacing him with a younger player can the team rebound.
Son’s contract with Tottenham runs until June 2025.
This is according to the contract he signed in the summer of 2021. According to the article, Spurs have an option for a one-year extension. The publication speculates that Spurs will extend Son’s contract even if he doesn’t want to.
In addition to these rumors, Spanish FC Barcelona publication Total Barca, 토토사이트 추천 which specializes in FC Barcelona on social media, said, “Son Heung-min could be for sale at Tottenham after this season. If he is on the market, he could be on Barca’s summer transfer list.”
Total Barca added: “He is a perfect fit for Barça. He’s a very decisive player on the left flank,” while Total Barca analyzed the pros and cons, saying that “the problem is that he’s relatively old and will be paid a lot of money.”
