Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who made his name in league history by becoming the 7th player in English professional football Premier League (EPL) history to score double-digit scores for 8 consecutive seasons, is setting out to help his team achieve consecutive wins.

Son Heung-min will play the 17th round of the '2023-2024 EPL' against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in Nottingham, England at 5 am (Korean time) on the 16th.

Tottenham, who had been sluggish with no wins (1 draw, 4 losses) in the last 5 games until the 15th round, turned around the situation by winning 4-1 in the 16th round against Newcastle United on the 11th. They ranked 5th with 9 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses (30 points).

Tottenham, who had been undefeated in 10 games (8 wins, 2 draws) until the beginning of the season, was assessed to be in a slump due to a power leak.

Midfielder James Maddison, who led the attack with Son Heung-min at the beginning of the season, collapsed due to injury, and central defender Mickey van der Pen, who had stepped up as a key player upon his transfer, also suffered an injury and left.

Accordingly, Tottenham made a winning move against Newcastle by choosing a different tactic from before, and it worked.

Tottenham coach Enze Postecoglou placed Son Heung-min, who had played up front during this season, back to his original position on the left wing. It was a choice that took into account the fact that recent attacks have been carried out from the side.

Son Heung-min, who was relocated to the side, lived up to the coach's expectations by scoring 1 goal and 2 assists. In particular, he showed good chemistry with striker Richarlison, who was underperforming, raising expectations for a bright future for Tottenham.

It was a meaningful game not only for the team to break out of the slump, but also for Son Heung-min personally.

Son Heung-min scored his 10th league goal by directly scoring a penalty kick in the 40th minute of the second half of the day. With this, Son Heung-min became the 7th player in EPL history to score double-digit goals for more than 8 seasons.

This game against Nottingham is very important in the battle for rankings. Tottenham, currently with 30 points, is only 3 points behind Manchester City (33 points), which is in 4th place and will qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League (UCL).

If we add 3 points against Nottingham, we can expect a rise in ranking depending on the situation at other stadiums.

There is also a possibility of narrowing the gap with league leader Liverpool (37 points).

Son Heung-min said, “This is the reaction we wanted. “We are back on the road to victory,” he said, reinforcing his will to win. 19가이드03
