[인터풋볼] Reporter Shin Dong-hoon = Records proved that Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham) showed tremendous breath with the so-called’DESK line’.
Son Heung-min is a superstar representing Tottenham. Son Heung-min was responsible for Tottenham’s attack, scoring 16 goals and 8 assists in 25 games in the official game this season. He scored 12 goals in the English Premier League (EPL) and is ranked second in scoring after Mohamed Salah (13 goals). Of the 12 goals, not one penalty kick (PK) score is drawing attention.
It continues to set meaningful records. Son Heung-min scored 100 goals in the Tottenham uniform on the 2nd (hereinafter referred to as Korean time) in the EPL round 17 match. On the 6th, he scored in the England Football League (EFL) Cup match against Brentford, leading the team to the final. With this, Son Heung-min played 254 matches for Tottenham, scoring 101 goals and 55 assists.
Then, who was the Tottenham player who showed the best breath with Son Heung-min in the EPL? According to the soccer statistics media’Opta’, Harry Kane took the overwhelming first place. Son Heung-min teamed up with Kane for a total of 33 goals. This is only the difference between 36 and 3 goals, the most joint EPL goals scored by Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
It is amazing to look at just this season. Son Heung-min and Kane jointly scored 13 goals in 16 matches this season, tying the record of Chris Sutton and Alan Shearer during the 1994-95 season in Blackburn. Considering that there are 22 games remaining in the future, it is very likely that Son Heung-min Kane Duo will rise to first place. In detail, 9 out of 12 goals scored by Son Heung-min this season came from Kane’s toes. Conversely, 4 out of 10 goals scored by Kane were helped by Son Heung-min.
Dele Ali took second place (15 goals) and Christian Eriksen (12 goals) placed third. In other words, it can be seen that Son Heung-min jointly scored a total of 60 goals in EPL with Kane, Ali, and Ericsen. This corresponds to 60.6% of the 99 attack points that Son Heung-min recorded in the EPL. At one time, they created a Tottenham revival under the direction of Mauricio Pochettino with their respective DESK lines.
Son Heung-min and Kane are still irreplaceable players for Tottenham, but Ali and Eriksen are different. Ali is staying on the bench at Tottenham, so the transfer is considered a strong situation. Ericsen left for Inter Milan in January 2020 and took on a new challenge. However, in Inter Milan, it is classified as out of power and, like Ali, is seeking a transfer.
