Son Heung-min has risen to the top four strikers in the English Premier League in the 2020s.
One SNS posted by the Premier League explains Son Heung-min’s feat well.
The official social media of the Premier League posted a graphic on the 12th (Korea time). It was a praise for Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese technician who has been leading Manchester United’s attack for years. Manchester United has been reeling for more than a decade since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. There were 13 Premier League trophies under Ferguson, but none in the 11 years since then. He is comforted by winning the Europa League, the FA Cup, and the League Cup from time to time.
Fernandez is the striker who can keep Manchester United afloat. Born in Portugal, Fernandez played for Udinese and Sampdoria in Italy during his early professional career and later played for two and a half years for Sporting Lisbon, a prestigious club in his country. He is also the former coach of Manchester United, who will take the helm of the club this time. Although they failed to tie the knot due to conflicts, they are now joining the club.
He joined Manchester United in January 2020. In two months, he will enter his sixth year in the Premier League.
Fernandez made his Premier League debut on Feb. 1, 2020, against Wolverhampton. It is true that not only Manchester United but also the Premier League have changed the lineage of strikers since his arrival. Fernandez is a so-called hexagonal striker. He boasts a good range of activities, attack, defense, passes, and kicks. He also has almost no injuries. As a result, he can play as a front-line striker in the zero-top system.
The Premier League dealt with the offensive point to announce Fernandez’s ability.
Fernandez has been found to have ranked second in terms of all the official points of the Premier League players in the past five years since joining Manchester United. The Premier League SNS took into account the attack points from the time Fernandez made his Premier League debut on February 1, 2020, when Manchester United faced Wolverhampton.
Then, Son Heung-min took fourth place and put his name on the post.
The top contender is Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah, dubbed the “Egyptian pharaoh.” Salah has 198 offensive points since Feb. 1, 2020. He has scored 134 goals and 64 assists. During the period, he scored 95 goals in the Premier League and 39 goals in UEFA club competitions to rank No. 1 due to his tireless performance.
Fernandez came in second. Fernandez has similar goals and assists. He scored 83 goals and posted 72 assists.
Ranked third in the Premier League is Kevin De Bruyne, the world-class playmaker of Manchester City. Looking back at the 32-year-old history of the Premier League, De Bruyne, who is the second best helper after Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, has 55 goals and 84 assists, which is more helpful. He has established a total of 139 offensive points. 스포츠토토
Then comes the name of Son. Son has been found to have posted a total of 133 offensive points in various competitions over the past five years. Since February 2020, he has scored 86 goals and 47 assists.
It is considered one of the top four strikers in the Premier League in the 2020s, who are at the bottom of the rankings but are on par with world-class players.
In the case of Son Heung-min, he has been suffering some ups and downs due to injuries this season, but he is showing his skills every time he returns, so he can play for two to three more years. He is a soccer player and has excellent marketing value. This Premier League post once again announced Son’s value.
