Son Heung-min and Ivan Perisic, who were controversial due to rumors of discord, seem to have shaken off their emotions through victory.
Tottenham won 3-0 with Son Heung-min’s multi-goal and Arnaut Danjuma’s debut goal in the 2022/23 FA Cup Round of 32 against Preston North End held at Preston Deepdale Stadium on the 29th (Korean time). .
The protagonist of the victory was Son Hong-min. Son Heung-min played as a central striker in place of Harry Kane, and in the 5th minute of the second half, he shook the net with a powerful left-footed mid-range shot, and in the 24th minute of the second half, he scored an additional goal with a left-footed turning shot near the center of the penalty box. 스포츠토토
In an interview after the game, Son Heung-min said, “It was a necessary goal to boost confidence. It is always important for strikers to score goals. I am very happy that I helped the team advance to the next round.”
In this game, Perisic, who had been the subject of controversy due to dissonance with Son Heung-min, transformed into a special helper by helping Son Heung-min’s goal.
Perisic passed the ball with a heel pass in the 24th minute of the second half, and Son Heung-min, who received the pass, scored with a shot. The joint scoring between the two came out for the first time in 21 games.
The two players have played together several times in the left attack of Tottenham, but they have shown poor breathing in each game. The two often collided with each other over the timing of penetration and selection of passes within the game, and several issues were raised about the two’s breathing even in the UK.
In particular, in the recent game against Arsenal, the dissatisfaction between the two seemed to reach its peak.
At the end of the second half, Son Heung-min tried to pass to Perisic, who rushed in, but Perisic gave up when he did not look at the pass properly and did not match his timing. Afterwards, Son Heung-min expressed dissatisfaction with Perisic, who gave up too early, and Perisic also complained about the timing of the pass, which was captured on camera, raising fans’ concerns.
However, when he won the match with Son Heung-min in good harmony, Perisic announced through social media that there was no major problem in the relationship between the two.
After the game, he posted the sentence “Shortcut ★★★★★” along with a picture of Son Heung-min on his SNS. This was a compliment to Son Heung-min, who scored multiple goals with his left foot rather than his right foot, his main foot.
Perisic is also known for using both feet well. Such Perishi’s social media post is no different from an acknowledgment that Son Heung-min’s left foot is really amazing.
Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min and Perisic, who showed the best teamwork for the first time this season, will be able to lead Tottenham’s upward trend in the second half by matching the sum in the future schedule.
