Pochettino’s comments on Tottenham star Heung-Min Son explain his superb recent form
Heung-Min Son has been on scintillating form for the past month, with three goals in his last three Premier League matches for Tottenham Hotspur.
When discussing Son’s impressive recent goal record, Mauricio Pochettino revealed the importance of the South Korean international playing with freedom and joy for the game.
“When Sonny playing with freedom is one player, but when you see him in games before November, he was so obsessed with playing and performing so well, he was thinking of the national teams, this and that and it was impossible to perform in the way you want,” Pochettino said in comments reported by the .
In this way, the Spurs manager argued that Son was too caught up in his own success and ended up harming his own performances with his own pressure in the opening months of the season.
Yet with the early-season pressure lifted, Son has blossomed into one of Tottenham’s most influential players in the absence of Dele Alli and Harry Kane, and has also staked a claim for Premier League player of the year in the process.
Mauricio Pochettino has an important role to play in managing Heung-Min Son, as if he can keep the star winger loose and relaxed, he can coax the best out of the 26-year-old.
