Son Heung-min (32-Tottenham)'s points were elsewhere.
He is the Tottenham captain. He is the ace leader. He is bound by absolute trust with Tottenham boss Enze Postecoglou. But it's not just because Postecoglou trusts Son.
It's not that simple. In an interview with TNT Sports on Wednesday (KST), Heung-min said, "Coach Postecoglou has the absolute trust of the players. It's not just because he's nice to the players. Contrary to what you see from the outside, he (Enze) often expresses anger. I really like that part of him," he said.
Postecoglou and Son Heung-min's views on football are in line. They both like to play autonomous and aggressive football. However, they also share the need for strong team discipline and principles underneath.
That"s why Son likes Postecoglou so much.
"There have been some of the best managers in the world, like Mourinho, Conte, Nuno, Pochettino, etc. His football is more and more interesting every day. He wants to play as close to the opponent's goal as possible. The fans love it. 안전놀이터 It's attacking football. We enjoy playing it too. It's hard work, but it definitely pays off," he says. "If he doesn't like something, he gets really angry. He shouts a lot. I like this part of it. His anger makes us realize what we have to do. His discipline is very strict and demanding. It's very important to me too. I've been with him for more than 10 months now. I'm learning a lot from him, both soccer-wise and human-wise.
Eurosport quoted Son as saying: 'Postecoglou is definitely angry. Heung-min said that this kind of behavior is strengthening his trust with the Tottenham players.
