[골닷컴] Reporter Park Byung-gyu = Tottenham Hotspur’s Steven Verbine, 23, revealed that he improved his playstyle after observing the movement of role model Son Heung-min.
British media’HITC’ reported on the 30th (Korean time) how Son Heung-min had influenced him, citing an interview with Verbine’s’Mirror’. Verbine raised expectations when he joined Tottenham from PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands in January. In particular, he made a strong impression by scoring his debut goal in his debut in the Premier League round 25 against Man City in the 2019/20 season. Afterwards, he played 14 games in the league, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist.

However, this season did not meet expectations. He played 10 games in the league but has no attack points. In the competitive position, prominent seniors such as Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura, and Gareth Bale were holding on.
Fortunately, Moura and Bale were injured and the opportunity came again. Director Jose Mourinho gave a greater role and movement. Verbain agreed and said that he is trying to imitate Son Heung-min’s move. “The attack movement improved because of Son Heung-min. Before coming to Tottenham, I didn’t participate much in the defense, but that changed.”
“I think a lot of players learned from each other. Of course, Son Heung-min’s position is always good. He knows how to jump in. I didn’t before, but watching Son Heung-min knew what to do.”
