Heung-min Son, who has already helped season 10, is cool and steady

Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham), who has entered the peak of the season, has been recognized for his best performance in the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) this season.

The BBC settled the first half of the EPL on the 26th and gave Son Heung-min the highest rating among Tottenham players. Son Heung-min, who participated in all 18 regular league matches in the 2020-21 season, scored an average rating of 6.48 points, beating teammates Harry Kane (28, 6.36 points) and Giovanni Rosselso (25, 5.88 points) to the top of the team.

The BBC said, “It is noteworthy that Son Heung-min beat his attacking partner Kane and ranked first among Tottenham players. He praised him as being the best with 12 goals and 6 assists in the regular league this season.” The fact that Son Heung-min ranked first in the rating instead of Kane, who was far ahead in attack points (12 goals, 11 assists), is a result of being recognized for leading the team’s attack without ups and downs.

Son Heung-min once again confirmed his strong presence in the 4th round (final of 32) of the English Football Association (FA) Cup in the 2020-21 season held at Adams Park in High Wycomm in England. Tottenham met Wickham of the Championship (Second Division) and finished 1-1 in the first half and scored three goals at the end of the second half to win 4-1. Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho (58), who made up the starting lineup with 1.5 troops, changed the atmosphere by introducing key members in the second half. In the 13th minute of the second half, Kane, in the 23rd minute, Son Heung-min and Tangwi Ndombele (25) were sent to the ground in turn. Since then, three goals have been scored.

Son Heung-min broke through a powerful dribble and broke the opponent’s left side. It also contributed to the team’s third goal. After digging into the left flank, he assisted Ndombele’s goal in front. Whoscored.com, a website specializing in soccer statistics, scored 7.2 points for Son Heung-min, with a short evaluation that “dominated the side.”

Son Heung-min, who helped Tottenham’s round of 16, recorded his 10th assist in the regular league and cup competitions this season. Both goals scored (16 goals) and assisted in double digits. It was close to the most assists in a season (12) that were established last season, raising expectations for a record break.

Head coach Mourinho has a pleasant history of holding the second season’s championship trophy in each team he joins. The cup competition is more likely to be realized than the regular league. Tottenham, who had previously reached the Carabao Cup (League Cup) final, came one step closer to the top in the FA Cup. The European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League is also challenging to win.

Son Heung-min, who is strong in the game and puts team play ahead, is an essential player for Tottenham to retake the lead in the regular league. Tottenham will face off against defending champion Liverpool on the 29th. With 33 points (5th) in the season, Tottenham wins with 36 points, pushing Liverpool with 34 points to fourth place. The gap with leading Manchester United (40 points) can also be narrowed to four points.

For Son Heung-min, it is also an opportunity to leap to the top of the league goal. Son Heung-min is currently tied for second with Kane with 12 goals. Above all, Liverpool is home to Mohamed Salah (13 goals), who is the leading goalkeeper and leader of the league.
