Tottenham captain Heung-Min Son vows to improve for the team | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur’s season has been far from smooth, and the challenges have extended to their captain, Heung-Min Son.

As the team grapples with underwhelming performances, the spotlight is also shining brightly on Son, whose recent struggles have left fans concerned.

For a player who has been a cornerstone of the Spurs’ attack for nearly a decade, this dip in form raises questions about his ability to reclaim his best.

Sunday’s clash against Wolves seemed like the perfect opportunity for Son to turn things around. However, the match took a disappointing turn, leaving both the player and the fans with more questions than answers.

Despite the hurdles, Son remains a symbol of resilience for Tottenham. But how will he address the mounting pressure, and what steps is he taking to ensure he doesn’t repeat the mistakes of the past?

In Sunday’s encounter with Wolves, Tottenham were handed a crucial lifeline in the form of a penalty.

With the team in desperate need of a confidence boost, all eyes were on Son as he stepped up to take the spot-kick. Unfortunately, his effort was saved, denying Spurs a chance to gain the upper hand.

Speaking to Sport Chosun after the match, Son admitted the missed penalty weighed heavily on him. "Of course, I'm so sorry to my team members. I've been putting in a lot of PKs lately. Since I can't do it this time, I think I need to make a chance to practice a little more," he said.

The missed opportunity seemed to reflect the broader struggles of Tottenham’s captain. Subbed off in the 64th minute, Son’s performance was emblematic of a player seeking to rediscover his spark.

Son’s woes come at a pivotal moment in his career. At 32 and with his contract nearing its end, the forward is navigating a period of introspection.

Known for his clinical finishing and relentless work ethic, his recent form contrasts sharply with the heights he has reached in previous seasons.

Adding to the pressure, Tottenham’s collective struggles have magnified individual errors. The team’s inability to consistently perform has left players like Son carrying the weight of expectations.

However, Son’s willingness to accept responsibility and focus on improvement is a testament to his character.

His admission that he needs more penalty practice is a small but telling step towards regaining confidence.
