Son Heung-min (29) has already recognized his scoring power. In addition to this, he is also working on his help ability. It is Son Heung-min who not only shines herself, but also makes the whole team shine.
Son Heung-min led the team’s 4-0 victory in the 26th round of the 2020-21 English Premier League (EPL) against Burnley held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 28th (Korean time).
This season, Son Heung-min clearly opened his eyes to assist.

It is more interesting to look at Son Heung-min’s help records in chronological order. Son Heung-min entered Tottenham’s first season, 2015-16 season 5 help, but since 2016-17 season 9 help, 2017-18 season 11 help, 2018-19 season 10 help, 2019-20 season 12 help. . And it is showing a steady increase, up to 15 this season, which is not over yet.
In the early days of Tottenham, Son Heung-min focused on the role of making a decision after receiving a puncture pass from the second line and digging at high speed. In an attacking union called’DESK’ (Dele Ali-Christian Ericsen-Son Heung-min-Harry Kane), Son Heung-min’s mission was mostly finished.
However, recently, they are contributing to the team by creating goal opportunities as well as scoring goals.
Even in the match on the 28th, after calculating the timing, he showed himself creating a shooting chance by giving Bale an easy opportunity with an accurate kick. In the FA Cup Round 5, which was held on February 11, the FA Cup was reborn as a’universal helper’ by giving 3 help in only one game.
This means that Son Heung-min has stepped up a notch to provide good opportunities to his colleagues in addition to his main weapon, finish and breakthrough ability. It has one more powerful weapon that complicates the opponent’s calculations.
In fact, in the match on the 28th, Bale was able to break through a long sluggishness thanks to Son Heung-min’s 2 help, which led to great vitality for the whole team. The presence of Son Heung-min made not only Son Heung-min shine, but many others.
Recently, the spotlight was focused on Son Heung-min’s score. It was natural that he did not neglect the’major’ score, such as scoring 4 goals against Southampton in the second round of the EPL and scoring 3 consecutive goals from round 4 to round 6.
However, Son Heung-min grew a step further. Now, in addition to scoring (18 goals), help (15) is also a level of attention.
