(Seoul = Newsis) Reporter Ha Geun-su = Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL) was criticized despite his outstanding performance in the previous match.
‘Spurs Web’, which reports Tottenham news, highlighted the comments made by O’Hara, who played for Tottenham during his playing days, on the 24th (Korean time) under the title, ‘Jamie O’Hara made rude remarks about captain Son Heung-min.’
Ohara told British media outlet ‘TalkSPORT’, “I think Son Heung-min has reached his limit now. Everyone thinks it’s over. The fans who think that are right.”
He added: “Son Heung-min has lost his sharpness in the final third. Can he beat other players at 33? Son Heung-min was a great player, but I don’t think he can dominate the opponents now.”
He then claimed, “In the past, Son Heung-min was a reliable scorer. Even now, there is no better player than him, so he cannot be excluded, but we need to find a new left winger.”
‘Spurs Web’ pointed out that O’Hara’s remark was rude, and countered, “We have the same conversation about Son Heung-min every year. He is usually a slow starter, but after a few months, he shows his true form.”
He also showed his faith in the captain, saying, “Son Heung-min is still one of our most important players. He will soon put an end to the criticism directed at him, as he always has.”
