The victory over Manchester United is of great significance.

 It is not only Tottenham’s first win of the season

but also the debut win of new manager Postecoglu and Son Heung-min’s first win as Tottenham captain.

Ahead of the start of the new season

there has been a change in the Tottenham captaincy.

 In the meantime, as all the players who wore the captain’s armband at Tottenham left the club

there was a vacancy in the captain’s position.

Veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris

who has played for Tottenham since 2012

is about to part ways with the club as a transfer is likely.

 Harry Kane, considered the best Tottenham player 바카라사이트 ever

also recently moved to German Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich.

With both Lloris and Kane dropping the armband

Tottenham needed a new captain.

 The new captain decided by the Tottenham leadership

including coach Angie Postecoglu

was none other than Son Heung-min.

Tottenham officially announced on the club website on the 13th that “Son Heung-min has been appointed as the club’s captain.”

Tottenham introduced

Son Heung-min came from Bayer Leverkusen in Germany in the 2014/15 season.

He took over the captain’s armband this time from Hugo Lloris, who was appointed captain from the 2015/16 season.

James Madison and Christian Romero were appointed as vice-captains.

 The heavy responsibility of captain

which Lloris had held for seven years

was now taken over by Korean striker Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min said of his appointment as captain:

It is a great honor to be captain of this huge club.

It is a big surprise and a very proud moment.

I have already told the players that everyone should feel like captain on and off the pitch.

revealed

“It’s a new season

a new start.

I will give everything for this uniform and armband

he said

reaffirming his will to devote himself to Tottenham as a ‘captain’.

With this, Son Heung-min became the 41st captain of Tottenham, which was founded in 1882.

 He is also the first captain outside of continental Europe.

Tottenham became the first non-England captain in 1882

when Bobby Buckle was appointed as the first captain

followed by English players such as Jack Jules and Stanley Briggs.

However

it was not until 132 years later that non-British players were allowed to wear left forearm armbands.

 By 2014

Tottenham had 38 captains

all of whom were British nationals

including 26 from England

7 from Scotland

3 from Wales and 2 from Northern Ireland. 

It also means that it was difficult to become the center of the team if you were not from England.

Then

in 2014

the French national team

Younes Kabul

was dropped as the captain

and two years later

the French national team goalkeeper Lloris was assigned the captain and played for 7 years. 

And Son Heung-min vomited the spirit of becoming the first non-European player to become Tottenham captain.

 Tottenham opened a new era in which an Asian national took charge of both the manager and the captain.

Son Heung-min

who was highly anticipated as captain of Premier League powerhouse Tottenham ahead of the season

showed somewhat disappointing game content in the opening game of the 2023/24 season Premier League against Brentford

the first match with the captain’s armband. 

At that time

Son Heung-min committed a foul in the penalty box in the first half and conceded a penalty kick

and the game ended in a 2-2 draw

and the first win had to be passed on to the next opportunity.

Fortunately

Son Heung-min succeeded in making up for the sluggishness against Brentford in the next game. 

In the second round of the league match against Manchester United, which he won 2-0 at home on the 20th

Son Heung-min failed to score an attack point

but as Tottenham captain, he sprayed flashing passes all over the ground

threatening Manchester United

a strong player in the Premier League tradition, and winning the team.

led to

At that time

Son Heung-min

who started as a left winger in the 4-2-3-1 formation

energized Tottenham’s attack with sharp dribble breakthroughs and key passes.

 According to football statistics media ‘FotMob

Son Heung-min played an active role as Tottenham’s playmaker

recording 4 opportunities

60% (3/5) dribble success rate

and 75% (6/8) fight win rate.

did.

After the game

Son Heung-min

who conducted an interview with the British public broadcaster ‘BBC’

said

It’s very good and really special.

Manchester United was a special opponent

and it was really good to win the first win of the season at home against Manchester United.

Until the end

the fans gave their all to the players.

It was like that for almost 100 minutes.

Although there was no offensive point that fans expected

Son Heung-min showed his best throughout the game to win as the team’s captain.

 He also showed the appearance of raising the atmosphere of the stadium even more by encouraging the fans as he is a veteran and captain of the team.

In the video released by Tottenham

Son Heung-min took the victory with Lisandro’s own goal to make the score 2-0. encouraged

When Son Heung-min played a match as the captain of the team

he even expressed surprise in England.

 England’s ‘Football London’ reported on the 22nd

People inside the club who have been with Son Heung-min for many years

as well as those who have already left Tottenham

were surprised that Son Heung-min was appointed as the new captain.

“Son Heung-min enjoyed great popularity within the club and was respected by everyone

but not many people saw him as a ‘leader

he said.

The fact that he was not included in the included Tottenham leader group proved this

he explained

explaining that Son Heung-min was far from his usual leadership role leading the team.

The media said

During Mauricio Pochettino’s days

Lloris led the team atmosphere. After Pochettino’s departure

a leader group was formed so that the players could voice their voices.

At the end of the Antonio Conte era

young players like Oliver Skip gave their voices.

Son Heung-min didn’t belong anywhere.

Many people were surprised that Postecoglu appointed Son Heung-min as the new captain

said Postecoglu’s determination.

Tottenham appointed Son Heung-min as captain

Christian Romero as vice-captain

and James Madison

newly recruited this summer. 

Regarding this

Football London’ emphasized that this was also a bold decision by the manager

saying

None of the players who belonged to the existing leader group were included.

Coach Postecoglu succeeded in reforming cleanly.

Reviews so far have been very positive. 

The media said

Son Heung-min’s appointment as captain was surprising

but it was a natural choice.

Previously

he was simply a popular player

but now he has become an active leader.

It was Son Heung-min’s idea

he said

highlighting that Son Heung-min is bringing a new wind to Tottenham.

Tottenham finished 8th in the league last season and failed to advance to European competitions. 

Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min

who is starting the season in a good mood in a desperate situation for a rebound

can lead Tottenham to the top as the team’s new captain.
