Son Heung-min was right 'Setpiece defensive hole' Tottenham move away from Champions League

Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League lost 0-2 to Chelsea in its 26th round match of the 2023-2024 season at Stampford Bridge in London on Tuesday. Tottenham recently lost three games in a row. Tottenham maintained its fifth place with 18 wins, six draws and 10 losses 60 points. It played one game less than Aston Villa 67 points, which was in fourth place, but failed to narrow the gap.

Again, set pieces were the problem. Trevor Chalova and Nicola Jackson scored, but they were all dead balls. Chalova scored the first header in a free kick situation in the 27th minute of the first half. In the 27th minute of the second half, when Cole Palmer's free kick hit the post, Jackson finished it with a header.


In the "North London derby" against Arsenal on June 28, Son also revealed problems such as losing points in set piece situations. Son stressed the need to exert more effort in set piece situations. "Ahnall is strong in ball in the air, but if you concede a goal in set piece in a game like this, things get tough. We have to focus on set piece in a big game," Son said.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Enze Postecoglou greets fans.

Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou doesn't take this into consideration. As a result, the team's overall level of completion has deteriorated. Recently, each team has been paying close attention to having a set piece coach. However, this is different from Postecoglou's stance. "This is not the first time I have asked a set piece question. I have a reason why I take this issue lightly," he said. "I will build a team that can succeed. Set pieces are not the only way."

However, the problem persists. British media outlet Talk Sports said, "In this season's set-piece situation, Tottenham conceded 22 goals including penalty kicks. It is the third largest number after Nottingham Forest 26 goals and Sheffield United 23 goals. Considering that both teams are in relegation zones, the seriousness of Tottenham's set-piece defense can be seen.

Tottenham will meet Liverpool and Manchester City in succession for the rest of the season. If repeated problems continue in the set piece, it needs to be revised quickly to produce results.

Tottenham, who dreamed of rebounding with Postecoglou this season, has been shaken up recently.
