According to Spurs Webb's report on the 30th , Jungbury appeared on Sky Sports and pointed out Son Heung-min's play.
"I think Son needs to believe in his speed a little more. You can go short and then go again. He needs to be smarter," he pointed out.
"I don't know if I'm thinking positively, but Son needs more time. Playing as a winger is completely different from playing as a No. 9 player," he said in defense of Son.
Earlier, Son played in a match against Aston Villa in the 13th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the U.K. on Wednesday. Son scored three times in Aston Villa's net, but all of them were ruled offside according to VARs, and their goals were cancelled. Tottenham lost 1-2.
Jungbury believes Son Heung-min was caught in offside traps several times because he couldn't move intelligently. 스포츠토토
Spurs Webb said, "Son scored eight Premier League goals after moving to No. 9. He erased Harry Kane's absence well. However, there are a few things that Son needs to complement. One of them is offside."
Spurs Webb expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "In fact, according to the Premier League, no player has been offside more often than Son Heung-min this season."
In fact, Son's specialty is how he uses his explosive speed and acceleration to break down the opponent team's line. He should be on the same line as the opponent team's defender and run in sync with the pass timing. It is important to have teamwork with teammates who poke through the pass, but also at what point and when Son starts sprinting.
Son Heung-min is also one of the fastest runners in the Premier League. The reason why Jungberg said Son can trust his speed is interpreted as meaning that he needs to start more leisurely. Of course, as Jungberg said, it is possible that the player has to adapt himself to a new position.
