Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who has recently been experiencing a goal storm with a scary rise, can save his hopes of advancing to the UEFA Champions League next season.
Tottenham will play the 2022-23 English Premier League (EPL) round 35 home game against Crystal Palace (hereafter Palace) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 11:00 pm (hereinafter Korean time) on the 6th.
After parting ways with manager Antonio Conte in March due to poor performance, Tottenham hired assistant coach Christian Stellini as acting manager. However, Acting Stellini was sacked in the aftermath of a 1-6 loss against Newcastle on the 23rd of last month, and coach Ryan Mason is currently leading the team as an acting agent.
Although Tottenham is trying to change the atmosphere by changing the command tower frequently, the sluggishness is getting longer with 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 4 games, including the 3-4 defeat at Liverpool.
On the other hand, Son Heung-min’s recent rise is remarkable.
He has been very active with 4 goals and 1 assist in his last 5 matches. Son Heung-min, who scored double digits for 7 consecutive seasons in the EPL, tied with Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nasr) by scoring 103 league goals in the previous round against Liverpool.
If he scores against Palace, he will be on par with Chelsea legend Didier Drogba with 104 goals. Jumps over the drogbar when there are multiple goals.
In order to save Tottenham, who have lost four games in a row, Son Heung-min’s goal must be fired again.
Tottenham, currently recording 54 points (16 wins, 6 draws, 12 losses), was pushed to 7th place in the league. The difference between 4th place Manchester United (63 points, 19 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses), which played one less game, is 9 points. At least, as United lost to Brighton on the 5th, there is a glimmer of hope of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.메이저놀이터
Heung-Min Son has a lot of good memories against Palace, which he must win.
Son Heung-min has scored 7 goals in 13 matches against Palace. He scored his Premier League debut goal against Palace in the 2015-16 season, and in 2019, he scored a goal against Palace in Tottenham Hotspur’s opening game, becoming the first scorer at the new stadium.
In January, when sluggishness and orbital fracture injuries overlapped, there is also a good memory of throwing off the frustrating mask by operating the scorer for the first time in about three months against Palace.
Attention is focusing on whether Tottenham, who will put Son Heung-min at the forefront, will be able to beat Palace and secure 3 points and continue their hopes for 4th place.
