Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou compared the situation between Son Heung-min and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool).
Tottenham won 1-0 at home in the first leg of the "2024-2025 England Carabao Cup" semifinal against Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 9th (Korea time).
The game was decided by a single goal. Lucas Veribal scored at the 41st minute of the second half when Dominic Solanke hit a non-stop shot with his right foot. Having secured the first leg of the semifinal, Tottenham gained the upper hand to advance to the final. The second leg will take place on March 7.
Starting the game on the day, Son played 72 minutes until the 27th minute of the second half, but had no goal. Yang Min-hyuk, a freshman at Tottenham, was listed as a substitute for the first time since joining the team, but failed to play.
Coach Postecoglou's remarks are being re-examined amid rising expectations for Son Heung-min's first career win. Coach Postecoglou mentioned Son Heung-min and Salah at an official press conference before the game against Liverpool.
Postecoglou said, "Salah is a world-class player. However, if he plays for Tottenham, it is not certain that he will be able to replicate his performance in Liverpool." He added, "Salah is playing for a fantastic team. If he played for Liverpool, he would have scored more offensive points than now."
"In order to be a good team, we need to create chances to attack and play solid defense. Tottenham is a team that lacks that part at the moment," he said, diagnosing his team's situation.
It is a comparison between Son Heung-min and Salah, but it is actually a statement that points to the difference in competitiveness between Tottenham and Liverpool. Salah's outstanding performance like now is thanks to the overall outstanding team, and Son Heung-min claimed that he would have received more help if he played for Liverpool. 먹튀검증
