Throughout the 2020-21 season, which started in September last year, Tottenham took the opportunity to take a break. As we play the FA Cup against the 8th division team, it is time for all the main players, including Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Pierre-Emil Hoivier, to take a break.
Tottenham will play the 3rd round of the 2020-21 FA Cup with Marine FC at Crosby Rosette Park in Merseyside, England, at 2 am on the 11th (Korean time).
Marine FC is currently a member of the Premier League Division One North West (8th Division) and is an amateur team with most of the players doing other things at the same time.
When comparing objective abilities, Tottenham greatly leads. In Tottenham, there are many national team players such as Son Heung-min, Kane, Hugo Joris, Hoivier, Toby R. Tottenham’s unilateral advantage is predicted.
Therefore, Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho is expected to give opportunities to players who have not played much in the game. The British football media, Football London, also predicted that “Tottenham will make a big difference in the match against Marines.”
Son Heung-min is also likely to take a break. Son Heung-min played a lot of time as a starter in all three games held over the past 10 days. Considering the play characteristics of Son Heung-min, who mainly uses sprints to speed up instantaneously, it seems that his physical consumption is more than others. In addition, Son Heung-min always devoted all of himself to the stadium, showing a dedication to defense.
In addition, in Tottenham, except for Son Heung-min, there were no reliable flanks, so Son Heung-min waited for most of the games. It was a situation where I could hardly let go of my mind even if I couldn’t play as a starter.
Fortunately, Tottenham dealing with Marines seems to be able to give Son Heung-min a break. In particular, considering the schedule of the 18th round of the English Premier League (EPL) with Aston Villa on the 14th, three days after Tottenham’s match against Marine, it seems essential to Son Heung-min. Aston Villa is a tough opponent from Tottenham’s point of view as it is currently marking 8th place with good performance this season.
Since September, Tottenham played the EPL, the League Cup, and the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League without stopping every 3-4 days. This FA Cup round 3 schedule is an opportunity to take a breath. The same goes for Son Heung-min.
