Captain Son Heu

Captain Son Heung-min's first game is tied with Tottenham and Brentford for allowing PK

Local British media said, "A game that falls short of expectations" Park Han-jung's evaluation...unfortunate goal-determination

I wonder if I had too much expectations. It was twisted from the first game after wearing the captain's armband.

Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who was somewhat sluggish in the opening game as a captain, did not receive good reviews from local British media. Tottenham played against Brentford in the first round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season at G-Tech Community Stadium in Brentford, England, on the 13th.

Tottenham tied Brentford 2-2. Son Heung-min was appointed as the team captain this season and started the day. He failed to score an offensive point and was replaced with 15 minutes left before the end of the game.

Park Ji-sung was the first Korean player to captain the team in the EPL when he was at Queens Park Rangers (QPR), followed by Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min, who plays for EPL Tottenham, is warming up on the ground ahead of the first round away match of the 2023-2024 season against Brentford on the 13th.

Ahead of Tottenham's match, many expectations were raised for Son Heung-min in England. Harry Kane, who had been paired until last season, moved to Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga, drawing more attention to Son Heung-min.

However, the captain's debut was a disappointing result for Son Heung-min and Tottenham. Son Heung-min provided an excuse for losing a point in the 27th minute of the first half when Christian Romero was leading 1-0.

He participated in defense and gave up a penalty kick in the process of competing with Matthias Jansen. The referee did not blow the whistle at first, but pointed out Son Heung-min's foul through an all-field review.

Brian Mboumo, who played as a kicker, calmly succeeded and balanced it 1-1. Son also missed a chance to score.

In the 15th minute of the second half, he took a chance on the left side of the goal area, but the finish was regrettable.

Son Heung-min, who plays for EPL Tottenham, is regretful when a penalty kick was ruled during the defense in the 27th minute of the first half during the first round of the 2023-2024 season away match against Brentford on the 13th.

Tottenham was the first game of the season, but Kane's vacancy seemed large. Son Heung-min rarely showed a long-term breakthrough against Brentford.

Tottenham lost a point to Joane Wiesa in the 36th minute of the first half and was taken 1-2 before balancing with Emerson Royal's equalizer in the extra time of the first half. The two teams exchanged battles in the second half, but no more goals were scored and the game ended.

Britain's Sky Sports said, "Son Heung-min did not play as well as expected, allowing a penalty kick." On the same day, "Husad Dotcom," a statistical site specializing in European soccer, gave Son Heung-min a 6.1 rating.

It is the second lowest rating among Tottenham players. Tottenham player, who has a lower rating than Son Heung-min, scored 5.9 points as midfielder Oliver Skip. Football record site "Footmob" also gave Son Heung-min and Hisharlisson 6.2 points, the lowest among Tottenham players who started. 스포츠토토

Tottenham will play the second round of the EPL in the 2023-2024 season against Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 20th. It is also the home opener of this season.
