Can the breathing of Son Heung-min and Ivan Perisic improve?
Tottenham’s 2022/23 season Premier League 20th round ‘North London Derby’ against Arsenal held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 15th (Korean time) lost 0-2 in
Arsenal (47 points), who won this head-to-head match, solidified their position at the top of the Premier League. The gap with second place Manchester City (39 points) widened to 8 points again.
On the other hand, Tottenham, who failed to advance from 33 points, failed to narrow the points with Newcastle United and Manchester United (38 points above), who are in 3rd and 4th place.
The game took the lead early in the first half with Arsenal’s opening goal. In the 14th minute of the first half, in the penalty box, Hugo Lloris missed a cross from Bukayo Saka, leading to an own goal.
Arsenal took full control of the game afterwards, and in the 36th minute, Martin Odegaard’s low and quick mid-range shot succeeded in scoring an additional goal, destroying the home team.
Tottenham’s counterattack from the second half, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski continued to shoot, but they could not cross Arsenal’s goal.
There was also a scene that could be considered the worst breath in this game. It happened when manager Antonio Conte replaced Ryan Sessegnon in the 31st minute of the second half and replaced Perisic. 안전놀이터
In the 44th minute of the second half, when Kane, who overcame the pressure from the front, connected the ball to Son Heung-min, Son Heung-min drove the ball into the penalty box. In response, Perisic ran behind Son Heung-min at the right timing, and Son Heung-min watched in front of the defender for a while and stabbed the pass.
Then, I don’t know if Perishi’s penetration timing and Son Heung-min’s pass timing were incorrect, or if he thought it was an offside situation.
In that situation, Son Heung-min’s pass timing was not perfect.
However, the correct pass arrived in front of Perisic and the offside was not immediately declared, so Son Heung-min also expressed his dissatisfaction with Perisic in a loud voice.
Son Heung-min was caught on the relay screen raising his hand toward Perisic and getting angry.
Fans also shared the scene on social media after the game, saying, “Why did you give up on Perisic?” showed a reaction.
They try to work together on the left side throughout this season, but the two players have had problems several times due to differences in movement and attacking methods. As the passing timing and movement of the two overlapped during the game, there were not a few arguments between the two. Son Heung-min, who won the Golden Boot (premier league top scorer) last year, scored only one goal in the league match he played against Perisic this season.
