[마이데일리 = 최용재 기자]Criticism towards Son Heung-min (Tottenham) is flooding.
Son Heung-min has only scored in one game (three goals) in the Premier League this season. It can be said that it is a shabby appearance of the top scorer (23 goals) last season. Expectations for the top scorer were so high that the intensity of criticism was also strong.
The local press is overdoing the cold expression. It’s terrible. Horrible. This expression appears frequently. There was also a claim that ‘only the shell remained’ and a voice saying that Son Heung-min should be removed from the selection. Heung-Min Son is busy criticizing here and there.
But don’t worry too much. What if a lot of people criticize it? Son Heung-min is preparing for the game, playing the game, improving his condition, and scoring goals, but the only person who is most important is ‘absolute trust’.
The accusations of others are just accusations for the sake of accusations, without accountability. The absolute trust of the single most important person is sincerity accompanied by a sense of responsibility.
He is Tottenham manager Antonio Conte. He too is in crisis now. Even hard rumors have appeared. He needs goals and wins to get himself out of trouble and overcome the crisis. A situation in which his own life is at stake. In this situation, coach Conte emphasized his faith in Son Heung-min. This is the part where you can feel how much trust he has.
Coach Conte was ‘convinced’ that Son Heung-min would soon return to his best skills ahead of the Crystal Palace match on the 5th.
Conte said: “Son Heung-Min struggled after suffering a facial injury. He didn’t score in the World Cup either. But Heung-Min Son is trying to find his best form. If you start to doubt about it, Tottenham will be in an even bigger crisis.”
He continued, “It is a law that a player cannot always play all games in the best condition during a season. Son Heung-min’s poor condition is a normal phenomenon. The expectations placed on Son Heung-min are always high. Son Heung-min’s dedication, will and desire are always the same. Son Heung-min knows his role well.”
