Goal silenced for a month since the League Cup semi-final on the 6th of last month
Reporter Park Ji-hyuk = Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who is playing an active part in the English professional football Premier League (EPL), has a prolonged goal silence. Six games in a row, it has been silent for a month.
Son Heung-min played full-time in the 22nd round of the 2020-2021 EPL against Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 5th (Korean time), but was unable to raise the attack point.
Tottenham scored the winning goal to Giorginho and lost 0-1.
Son Heung-min, who boasted a fast scoring pace at the beginning of the season, added 5 games in the league and 1 game in the English Football Association (FA) Cup, and did not get a goal for 6 consecutive games.
In the semi-final of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) against Brentford on the 6th of last month, it was the last month to score 150 goals in Europe. All that was recorded was one help each in the league match against Sheffield United on the 17th and the Wickham and FA Cup round of 32 on the 26th.
Recently, his best friend, Harry Kane, escaped from injury, giving the impression of isolation. Seasonal attack points are 16 goals and 10 assists (including 12 goals and 6 assists in the league).
After leaving Kane, Tottenham fell into a swamp with three consecutive losses. With the first three consecutive losses this season, he is falling behind in the rankings. With 9 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses (33 points), it was pushed to Everton (36 points) and fell to 8th place. Chelsea (36 points) rose to sixth.
In the underwater game, Son Heung-min stepped forward as the left attacker in the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Son Heung-min tried to shoot with his left foot 5 minutes after the start of the game and took an active offensive, but headed straight to the goalkeeper.
Chelsea took control of the game. Tottenham was pressed with a high ball share, and Timo Werner scored a penalty in the 23rd minute. Giorginho, who played the kicker, calmly scored the opening goal.
Tottenham, who fell 0-1 in the first half, tried to make a change by injecting Eric Lamela and Lucas Moura in the 24th minute of the second half, excluding Berchwein and Tangwi Ndombele.
Son Heung-min suffered from the opponent’s harsh and strong concentration checks. When Kane is away, opponents are using tactics to block and isolate Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min attempted one more shot with his right foot in the extra time in the second half but missed the goal.
