Tottenham Hotspur won 1-0 at Burnley in the third round (round of 64) of the 2023-24 English FA Cup held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 5 a.m. on Tuesday (Korea time). Tottenham advanced to the fourth round (round of 32 teams) of the FA Cup.
It was not an easy victory. Tottenham was struggling as they had a good game but failed to finish with a score. As the rematch was not as outcome Tottenham wanted as they were eliminated from the FA Cup, it was best to win in some way. 에볼루션 바카라사이트
As the strikers failed to take advantage of the opportunity, Son Heung-min’s absence was desperately felt, and the troubleshooter was full-back Pedro Porro. Porro led his team to victory in the 33rd minute of the second half when he scored with a fantastic mid-range shot.
After the match, there was an interesting response. Dan Kilpatrick, a Tottenham reporter for the Evening Standard in the U.K., is famous for applying strict guidelines to Son Heung-min. During the 2022-23 season, “Son Heung-min was below expectations due to his hesitancy and inefficient play. I am reluctant to replace him in the hope that he will be able to play in any form,” coach Antonio Conte criticized.
“Son Heung-min has been struggling all season. It is clear when we need the front three players: Harry Kane, Dejan Kulusevski and Hishalisson,” he once mentioned. Hishalisson has survived only recently, but until the middle of this season, Hishalisson was considered one of the worst recruitments in Tottenham’s history. No matter how sluggish Son was, he was not as poor as Hishalisson.
Recently, he also raised the eyebrows of fans by picking Everich Eze except for Son Heung-min in the 2023 London Best Eleven, which he conducted on his own in the Evening Standard.
However, he had a different opinion today. “I felt that Tottenham really missed its captain, Son Heung-min. Tottenham created at least two or three chances to win this match through Hishalisson and Brennan Johnson. However, they revealed their lack of performance in the final third,” Son said, referring to Son’s absence.
“We will be worried about Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou because he will have to be away for about six weeks with the 2023 Asian Cup participating,” he added. It seems that he has finally realized the existence of such a precious Son.
