The captain who understands all routines, including when to move, praised British Jung-won

Compliments are continuing for "captain" Son Heung-min Tottenham.

Tottenham rose to fourth place with a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in the 32nd round of the 2023-2024 Premier League PL held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 8th .

With the victory, Tottenham continued its hope of a European match as it moved to fourth place with Aston Villa 60 points, 18 wins, 6 draws, 8 losses, which had played one game less, and was ahead of the tie or goal difference Tottenham +20, AV +17.

Once again, it was a game where Son Heung-min's performance stood out. Before this game, Son Heung-min was leading the team's ranking competition with 15 goals and eight assists. In particular, he was playing a role in the team's fourth-place competition with a tremendous performance in March.

Son recorded two shots on the day. One was blocked by a defender, and the other failed to score due to the goalkeeper's good defense and bad luck in the goal post. However, he clearly displayed good performance as he connected two key passes.

Son already made 400 Premier League appearances. The result was made in the last round.

The Times reported, "Son made outstanding efforts to make changes. At the opening game of this season, he greeted Tottenham fans in the corner of the stadium."

Ahead of this season, Tottenham manager Enzi Postecoglou found a new captain to lead the team. It was because of the departure of the existing main players. Harry Kane, who was like a symbol of Tottenham, left for Bayern Munich. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was expected to be transferred. At the same time, he needed someone to lead the team internally.

Postecoglou's choice was Son Heung-min. Postecoglou said, "He has excellent leadership both on and off the field. He is ideal as our new captain. Everyone knows that Son is a world-class player. He is respected across groups in the squad," explaining the reason for selecting the captain.
As for Son, who became the first non-European captain, Football London said, "The appointment of Son as captain surprised Tottenham. However, Son proved Postecoglou's choice was right. With Lloris and Kane gone, Tottenham made a good choice to give Son the armband."

"He is also the captain of the Korean national soccer team. He is currently the longest-serving first-team player in Tottenham and the hottest star in the club," he said. "In fact, I had doubts about Son's appointment as captain inside Tottenham."

The reason was leadership. Football London said, "He is a respected player in the club, but not many people saw him as a Tottenham leader. Despite being one of the elders of the team, the 31-year-old has not been a part of Tottenham's leadership group."

Meanwhile, The Times praised Son, saying, "He has been relentless in his efforts to make changes. Early in the season, Son investigated the team's routines, from sleeping on the training ground the day before a match to what to wear to an away match and when to move."
