Son Takes Responsibility for Missed Opportunity
Son expressed regret for his missed chance in a recent interview. He acknowledged the difficulty of the save but accepted responsibility for not converting the opportunity, especially considering the team’s overall effort.
“I’m also human,” Spurs Captain said while speaking to The Evening Standard. “The keeper made a really good decision and made himself really big. But I take the responsibility not to score that big chance for the team, because the team was working really hard and trying to get a good result.”
Missed Goal Hurts Both Spurs and Arsenal
The missed goal not only dashed Tottenham’s hopes for Champions League qualification but also potentially handed the title advantage to Arsenal. With a win against City, Tottenham could have put Arsenal in a stronger position heading into the final matchday.
Son Defends Manager Postecoglou
Following a passionate response from Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou that questioned the team’s foundation, Spurs Captain stepped forward to defend his coach. He acknowledged the challenges of a first year under a new manager but expressed confidence in Postecoglou’s ability to bring success to the club.
“We should understand it’s the gaffer’s first year and he brought so much positivity and different football,” Spurs Captain said. “I know it’s early to say, but we’ve got to do so much better for next season, because I still believe he can bring so much success to the club.”
While acknowledging the need for improvement across the board, Spurs Attacker and Captain remains enthusiastic about Postecoglou’s playing style and believes everyone within the club needs to unite behind the manager.
