Son Heung-min are you sure you're fifth in Tottenham's score

While scoring numerous points, he applauded, saying that he was not selfish at all.

Tottenham striker Son Heung-min hit the come-from-behind final shot in the Premier League home game against Luton Town on the 31st, making his team's 2-1 come-from-behind victory. Thanks to Son Heung-min's performance, Tottenham will be able to continue its semifinal battle without being caught at home by Luton in the relegation zone.

The score on the day was very valuable to Son as well. It was his 159th goal in an official match since joining Tottenham in August 2015, as he ranked fifth in the club's record number of goals scored. The fact that Son is one of Tottenham's top five strikers, which has a 142-year history, deserves pride from Son's point of view.

Meanwhile, Schmeichel, who achieved Manchester United's 1999 European treble, did not hide his deep impression of Son Heung-min after praising Tottenham, who has been filling his offensive power without a gap even after Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich.

According to British soccer media HITC on the 3rd, Schmeichel praised Son Heung-min as a "fantastic player" after scoring his 159th goal and explained why he is a good player.

"He's a fantastic player, isn't he?" Schmeichel said. "He works really hard for the team. When you're ranked fifth in a certain club, those numbers tend to mean a little selfishness. But he doesn't have that at all."

It means that he is an ideal striker who gives up his goal desire and dedicates himself to the team while accumulating points one by one.

Schmeichel said, "If Son is in a good position, and someone is in a better position, he passes the ball through the ball to the better player. Son doesn't care who scores the goal."

"Son Heung-min has the ability to find the goals Tottenham needs or create the opportunities Tottenham needs," he said.

Like Schmeichel, the legendary goalkeeper, who has been through all sorts of hardships not only in the Premier League but also in the UEFA Champions League, praised Son Heung-min one by one after carefully watching his play.

In fact, Son Heung-min scored 15 goals this season, but he also scored eight assists, ranking fifth in assists, and chance-making has developed into an exemplary striker who can give everything to attack the team, not a typical goaltender, with Tottenham competing for first or second place.

This is why Anji Postecoglou, who took charge of Tottenham last summer, can confidently use "nail" tactics by moving Son Heung-min to the front line without reinforcing the striker despite Harry Kane's withdrawal.

Schmeichel, who is outside the club, also spotted that.

Kane, a striker who can solve 30 goals in a season, has disappeared, but the reason why Tottenham is more firmly united as a one-team and fighting for the top spot in the Premier League lies in Son Heung-min's presence, who plays every role as needed, such as a captain, killer, helper, and playmaker.
