[인터풋볼] Reporter Kim Dae-sik = High praise for Son Heung-min’s goal-making power continues.
US’ESPN’ wrote an article on the 11th (Korean time),’Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are the lifelines of coach Jose Mourinho’, and praised Son Heung-min’s goal-making power. The media said, “Son Heung-min, like the expected help value, exceeded the expected score to a ridiculous degree. According to statistics compiled in early January, Son Heung-min’s 41 goals were 44% higher than his expected score. This number was the highest in the world.”
Son Heung-min’s goal determination this season is unrivaled. It is also true by looking at the number of shots. Mohamed Salah, who currently ranks first in scoring, scored 16 goals with 73 shots. Bruno Fernandez, who is tied for second place in scoring with Son Heung-min, shot 78 times, Harry Kane shot 74, and Dominic Calbert Lewind shot 54 times. In contrast, Son Heung-min’s shooting record is only 43 times. It is said that it brought the best efficiency even with few opportunities.
In the expected score value suggested by’ESPN’, Son Heung-min is the highest level in the EPL. The expected score is simply a statistic that adds up the probability that each shot will lead to a score. So far, Son Heung-min’s expected score is only 8.07. It is a shame to score about 8 goals, but Son Heung-min is scoring 13 goals. Five goals or more were scored with personal abilities. There is no player in the EPL who has generated more points with his personal abilities than Son Heung-min.
However,’ESPN’ expressed concern that Mourinho is extremely dependent on Son Heung-min and Kane. The media used Tottenham’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City as an example. “If two of the best players are missing, almost all teams will struggle, but Mourinho’s extreme dependence on Son Heung-min and Kane was revealed in this match.” Explained.
In fact, when Kane was injured and Son Heung-min couldn’t score, Tottenham looked like a team that had forgotten how to win. In fact, the sum of Tottenham’s expected goals scored only 1.04 from Kane’s loss in the second half against Liverpool to his 0-1 defeat against Chelsea. While still having concerns about Plan B, coach Mourinho is aiming for victory against Manchester City once again with these two players ahead. The match between Tottenham and Man City will be held at Etihad Stadium on the 13th.
