Heung-min Son expresses disapproval of Tottenham’s ‘unacceptable’ 3-0 defeat against Fulham.
Heung-min Son, the talented forward for Tottenham Hotspur, did not hold back in his criticism of the team’s performance against Fulham. The disappointing defeat meant that Tottenham missed out on the opportunity to secure fourth place in the Premier League.
Son expressed his apologies to the fans, describing the loss as “very tough” and labeling the team’s performance as “unacceptable.”
Speaking to Sky Sports, Son emphasized the need for self-reflection, stating, “It is very disappointing and very frustrating. Everybody has to look in the mirror and say ‘it is my fault’.” He acknowledged that the team did not display the same effort and attitude that they had shown throughout the season, and stressed the importance of a wake-up call for everyone involved.
This defeat comes just a week after Tottenham’s impressive 4-0 victory over Aston Villa, in which Son himself found the back of the net. Reflecting on the contrasting results, Son highlighted the unforgiving nature of the Premier League, stating, “If you are not ready, you get punished. Aston Villa are an amazing team, but so are Fulham. If you are not giving 100%, you get punished. You don’t get three points for free. This is two steps backwards. We now need to step forward.”
Son expressed his disappointment in the team’s performance, describing it as “unacceptable.” He emphasized that as representatives of Premier League teams and Tottenham, they should have performed much better. He expressed his sadness for the fans, who came to the match with positive energy and good vibes, only to witness a disappointing loss. Son admitted that the players were feeling down after the defeat.
Tottenham currently sits two points behind the top four, but that gap could widen to five points if Aston Villa defeats West Ham on Sunday. Manager Ange Postecoglou, however, refused to engage in discussions about the team’s chances of finishing in the top four. He instead focused on the remaining 10 games and the need to prioritize the team’s style of play over their position in the league table.
In conclusion, Tottenham’s lackluster performance against Fulham has drawn strong criticism from Heung-min Son. The defeat was deemed “unacceptable,” and Son called for a collective wake-up call within the team. With the race for the top four heating up, Tottenham must quickly regroup and improve their performance if they hope to secure a coveted Champions League spot.
