[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] Recently, Tottenham Hotspur is on the rise. At the center are Gareth Bale and Harry Kane.
British media Evening Standard said on the 8th (Korean time) “Kane and Bale presented hope that Tottenham could end the season in fourth place. Son Heung-min shouldn’t forget it, too.” If the KBS line (Kane-Bale-Son Heung-min) continues to play, it was said that it could be expected to be successful.
On the 8th, Tottenham defeated Crystal Palace 4-1 in the 27th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020/21 season. Tottenham (45 points), who achieved three consecutive EPL wins, jumped to 7th place and narrowed the gap with Chelsea (50 points) in fourth place.
The breath of Kane and Bale stood out. Kane helped Bale’s two goals, and in the second half he scored two goals, accumulating four attack points against the Palace. Son Heung-min, who recently showed off his helper side, also assisted Kane in scoring with an accurate pass. Indeed, the KBS line flew a lot.
At the beginning of the season, Tottenham cruised thanks to the great performance of Son Heung-min and Kane. From the second round of the EPL, he ran undefeated in 11 games (7 wins, 4 draws) and took the lead for a while. The possibility of winning also emerged.
But soon it was stubborn. There were several problems, such as lack of defensive concentration and monotony in the ground-breaking situation. One of them was the scoring biased toward Son Heung-min and Kane.
Recently, Tottenham’s worries were cleared up as Veil’s condition revived. Bale played six games in the official game, scoring six goals and three assists. Above all, it is encouraging to show good breath with Son Heung-min and Kane.
The media raised their thumb, saying, “Vale is feeding Kane in an instinctive and impressive way like Son Heung-min did.”
If the offensive trio showed good breath, I thought it would win a ticket to the UEFA Champions League. The media predicted that “if Bale and Kane maintain their current form and especially Son Heung-min can score a goal, the Spurs will be able to reach fourth place despite a long slump.”
For Tottenham to finish the season in fourth place, the future is important. Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle must earn as many points as possible in the three consecutive matches. Tottenham will face Everton and Manchester City in turn, starting with Manchester United on the 11th of next month.
