Will the Korean national soccer team’s ‘captain’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and ‘rookie’ Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain, PSG) continue their goal storm this weekend?
Son Heung-min’s team, Tottenham Hotspur, will play an away game in the 10th round of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, England, at 4 a.m. on the 28th (Korean time).
Tottenham, undefeated in 9 consecutive games (7 wins, 2 draws) since the opening, is at the top of the league (23 points).
Striker Harry Kane, who was the team’s star, left for Bayern Munich (Germany) ahead of the season, but Son Heung-min is playing very well wearing the captain’s armband.
Son Heung-min, who became the first Asian player to become the EPL top scorer (23 goals) in the 2021-2022 season, is showing off his superb goal scoring skills again this season.
He has 7 goals and 1 assist in 9 games. In the home game against Fulham in the 9th round (Tottenham won 2-0), he was in full swing by assisting the opening goal and James Maddison’s additional goal.
The opponent, Palace, is ranked 11th in the league (12 points) and is experiencing severe defensive ups and downs this season. In the previous game against Newcastle United, they also gave up 4 goals.
It is also positive for Tottenham that Son Heung-min is a Palace killer. Since joining Tottenham in 2015, he has scored a total of 7 goals against Palace.
In the first match last season, he led the team to a 4-0 victory with a key goal.
Lee Kang-in, who won a gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and scored his debut goal in Klinsmann’s international match in October, is also on his toes.
Lee Kang-in’s team, PSG, will play an away game against Brest in the 10th round of French Ligue 1 at 9 p.m. on the 29th.
PSG, currently ranked 3rd in the league (18 points), is chasing leader AS Monaco (20 points) by 2 points.
Lee Kang-in came on as a substitute in the second half of the match against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League group stage on the 26th and scored his debut goal for PSG and his first goal in the Champions League.
Lee Kang-in, who scored 3 goals and 1 assist against Tunisia and Vietnam in two consecutive friendly matches in October, is continuing his upward trend even after returning to his team.
The opponent, Brest, is 5th in the league (15 points).
PSG is ahead in terms of objective power, and with Kylian Mbappe, Gonzalo Hamus, Randal Kolo Muani, and Lee Kang-in recently scoring goals, an easy victory is expected.
Hwang Hee-chan, who plays for EPL Wolverhampton, will play the 10th round EPL home game against Newcastle at 1:30 am on the 29th.
Wolverhampton is 12th in the league (11 points), and Newcastle is 6th in the league (16 points).
Hwang Hee-chan, who provided his first assist against Bournemouth on the 21st, has scored 5 goals (1 assist) in the league this season.
