Son Heung-min cannot be left out for a big victory
Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro prayed for a recovery by imitating the ceremony of “captain” Son Heung-min.
Tottenham won the perfect victory despite Son’s injury. In the sixth round of the English Premier League in the 2024-25 season at Old Trafford, Manchester on the 30th, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanki defeated Manchester United 3-0 thanks to consecutive goals.
Tottenham has clearly entered an upward curve. It has gained momentum by winning four consecutive games, including the recent Cup. Above all, Son Heung-min, the captain and ace, won more confidence by overwhelming Manchester United even though he was absent.
Son Heung-min is not included in the roster. He still has not recovered from his thigh injury during a match against Karabak (Azerbaijan) of the UEFA Europa League held in China. Attention was focusing on whether Son will play or not before leaving for an away match at Manchester United, 토토사이트 and local media also agonized over whether to play or not to join the team, but did not expect him to play.
Tottenham, which had been worried about Son Heung-min, who has two goals and two assists this season, broke the balance of Young with kickoff, and took an easy victory. Three minutes into the game, Johnson neatly pushed a side cross and scored the first goal.
The numerical advantage has been added. In the 42nd minute of the first half, Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes was sent off by raising his foot high while competing with James Madison. It was a great boon for Tottenham because Fernandes, who has a high proportion of tactics, left.
Manchester United tried to clean up the line with 10 players, but Tottenham ran away at the beginning of the second half. Tottenham, which quickly counterattacked in the second half of the second half, scored 2-0 when Kulusevski completed Johnson’s pass.
Tottenham drove Manchester United strongly, which was discouraged from chasing. Manchester United’s power was lost at the end. Tottenham didn’t miss it and put a wedge in it. In the 33rd minute of the second half, when Lucas Beribal’s corner hit Pape Sar, Solanki put his foot on it and scored an additional point.
Due to the large variables of Manchester United’s exit, Tottenham played what they wanted even in Son Heung-min’s absence. It was a one-sided game that would have made the difference even bigger if Son Heung-min, who had a good goal-scoring ability, played.
Postecoglou also said, “We could have scored two or three more goals. With the pressure we tried, we encouraged Fernandez to leave. We put tremendous pressure on the opponent team,” expressing satisfaction, saying, “Since then, we have managed the game well. It is thanks to all the hard work of all the players.”
Tottenham shared their joy of victory with Son. Porro performed Son’s click ceremony when Solanki scored his third goal. BBC praised him for his meticulous consideration, saying, “Solanki copied the image of Gozo Satoru from a cartoon show, while Porro sent support to his injured teammate.”
Son Heung-min also thanked the prisoners of war. Right after the match, he posted a photo of himself taking photos of himself in the social network service and thanked him with heart emoticons.
While Son Heung-min complained of pain in his thigh muscles, the exact timing of his absence is unknown. “We have to go back to London and watch Son’s condition,” Postecoglou said. “I hope it’s not a big injury.”
Meanwhile, Korean national soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo, who is set to hold an A-match game in October, has included Son Heung-min on the roster despite his hamstring injury. Team Korea will hold two consecutive matches with Jordan (away) and Iraq (home) in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup North-China.
