There was a reason why Son Heung-min (Tottenham) exploded in anger.
Spurs Web, which mainly delivers Tottenham’s news, reported on the 4th (Korea time), “There was a strange moment when Son Heung-min asked coach Enze Postecoglou for advice.”
Tottenham lost to Newcastle 1-2 in an away match of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season at St. James’ Park in Newcastle, the U.K. on Sunday. Tottenham ended up losing for the first time in three games. 먹튀검증
The scene in question occurred at 13 minutes in the second half. James Maddison got a free kick through an opponent’s foul. When the referee’s whistle blew, Son grabbed the ball. After catching the ball, he expressed his intention to kick the free kick. However, Pedro Porro and Yves Bissouma rushed in and offered to kick the free kick. Bissouma acted discontent towards the prisoner. Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson stepped in to calm him down. However, Bissouma continued to greed for free kicks. In the meantime, even Madison participated in the “free kick match.” Eventually, Son talked with the bench, and finally Porro kicked the free kick.
Citing a report by the British media Football London, Spurs Webb said, “There was a strange moment when Tottenham couldn’t decide who should kick the free kick. When Tottenham got the chance to kick a free kick, both Po and Madison wanted to play kicker. However, they couldn’t reach an agreement. Up until then, Tottenham’s set pieces were all clever routines. They often took short passes from Son and pushed them quickly into the penalty box. However, they couldn’t reach an agreement this time. Son Heung-min asked for help from the bench, and Radu Dragusin reportedly delivered a message to the coaches. Postecoglou decided 23 with his fingers. It was Po’s uniform number. However, Po made Tottenham’s situation even more embarrassed by sending the ball over the crossbar.”
Meanwhile, Son was criticized after staying silent in the opening match against Leicester City. In the ensuing second round match, he scored two goals by himself. However, he bowed his head again due to the embarrassing team atmosphere in the third round match.
