Tottenham has lived a difficult season, as he has already experienced in recent years under José Mourinho or Nuno Espírito Santo. The club occupies a pitiful 13th place in the Premier League and was eliminated from the national cuts. A particular player symbolizes this new failure: Heung-min sound. Present at the club since 2015, the Spurs captain seems to have lost his superb despite still regular statistics (10 goals and 10 assists in 36 games in all competitions). Ange Postcoglou even started it on the bench in the last match (defeat against Manchester City, 2-1).
His untouchable status is called into question by his coach, with whom he maintains good relations, but also by supporters. His may have loved Tottenham fans, they see that his performance has clearly dropped in diet in recent weeks. They coincide more or less with its extension signed last January. While the South Korean arrived at the end of the contract next June, the various parties decided to remove the option to extend a season (2026). Since that date, Same has only marked once in the league.
Kane's departure hurt
“”He tries to have a positive influence on everyone, to keep the mind of each concentrated in a positive way and it is not easy because he feels, like the other players, of fatigue. It is difficult to put this aside as an individual, because you are a leader and you try to transfer this positivity to others“, Defends him the Australian technician at a press conference. Corroborated on these words, the problem takes on a deeper look to believe Espn. The Spurs star would no longer be the same. In addition to his obvious loss of influence in the field, his internal attitude would have changed.
It would appear more isolated in a wardrobe of which he is the last dinosaur since the departures of Hugo Lloris and Harry Kane. The departure of the Englishman, even if he already took place 18 months ago, would have particularly touched him. It was from this period that the smile of her would have started to gradually fade with his face. The two attackers were particularly effective and close in the field, but especially in life. They happened to share the journeys by car to go and return to training. They even lived not far from the other for a period.
Disappointed by management
The media goes so far as to question the future of the South Korean international (131 selections, 51 goals). He also evokes this extension as a false good news. If his is not the type to create stories, he would still have been disappointed not to receive an extension proposal from his management, and simply see the option be activated. He would see this as a lack of respect for his dedication for the team, when she is not doing well. At 32 and soon a decade to wear the London team's jersey, it may be time to end this chapter.
