Son Heung-min’s role at Tottenham is bigger than you can imagine.
Tottenham is scheduled to play two games of the “2024 Coupang Play Series” against Bayern Munich at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 3rd. Prior to the match, Tottenham’s veteran Ben Davies and manager Postecoglou attended the press conference.
The most talked-about part is whether Son will renew his contract or not. Son has a contract until June 2025. It means that Son will be released as a free agent at the end of next season. Multiple media outlets had also announced that Son’s option to extend his contract has been activated. However, there is no news about Son’s contract yet.
Son Heung-min is currently the captain of Tottenham. “He has become the first non-European captain of a prestigious Premier League club in a historic move that reflects the rich tradition of Tottenham Hotspur’s 141-year history,” FIFA said on its website on Aug. 15, 2023 (Korea time). “The significance of this landmark appointment has sparked new discussions about Asian soccer, which is becoming more influential on the global stage beyond Tottenham.”
Son joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 and has been playing for the club for 10 years so far in 2024. Popular with all players in his brotherly role at Tottenham, Son has reaffirmed his exceptional leadership qualities and undeniable influence on and off the field with his captaincy announcement. 토토사이트
Postecoglou also mentioned the importance of Son. Asked about Son’s renewal at the press conference, Postecoglou said, “The renewal of contract between players is not something that I can decide on my own, and what I need to focus on is not how to prepare for the season with these players.”
He went on to say, “I always have the idea that I have to respect the contracts of all the players, not just these two players, while working. The most important thing is that we are now a fairly young team.”
Finally, Postecoglou said, “We need players who can definitely play senior roles like Son Heung-min in order to help these players grow and for the team to continue to develop and develop stably. I think Son Heung-min will be able to play a very important role in the team next season.”
