Only Son is struggling. He plays a role of coordinating not only plays at the stadium but also tacit war of nerves among the players.

This is because Tottenham Hotspur players have been in confusion, arguing over free kick kick kickers. Coach Anji Postecoglou's control over the team, who was watching this at first, is also on the cutting board.

The incident is as follows. The British media Football London recently reported that "when Tottenham got a penalty kick from a dangerous position, there was a strange moment when James Maddison and Pedro Porro couldn't decide who should kick."

Tottenham lost 1-2 to Newcastle United in the third round of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at St. James' Park in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England on the 1st.

Tottenham allowed Harvey Barnes to score the first goal in the 37th minute of the first half, but Newcastle center back Dan Burn's own goal in the 11th minute of the second half balanced the game.

However, the team lost three points to Newcastle in the 33rd minute of the second half when it was hit by Aleksander Isaac, the flagship striker of the home team. The defeat also marked the third consecutive away defeat for Tottenham in Newcastle. In April 2023, Tottenham suffered a crushing defeat by 1-6 in Newcastle, conceding five goals in the 21st minute of the first half. At that time, Christian Stellini, who became interim coach after serving as the head coach of former coach Antonio Conte, was replaced, disgracing coach Ryan Mason as acting coach.

The team suffered a crushing defeat of 0-4 in April this year. Due to the defeat, Tottenham effectively missed the UEFA Champions League ticket.

The defeat to Newcastle failed to continue the good mood Tottenham created against Everton. In the second round of the Premier League, Tottenham won a 4-0 home game against Everton thanks to Son Heung-min's multi-goal victory.

Son, who showed off his sharp decision-making ability by scoring two goals at the match against Everton, had high expectations ahead of the match against Newcastle, but had a disappointing 90 minutes. During the 90-minute trip between the left winger and the front-line striker, Son created three chances, made 100 percent of tackles and made two recoveries.

However, he only attempted one of the most important shots. As his only shot against Newcastle was blocked by a defense wall, he ended the game with 0 effective shots.

Tottenham was sluggish in the game, but the scene of the game became a big topic among Tottenham fans. He got a free kick close to the Newcastle goal post, and Tottenham players were fighting for a free kick kicker.

In the 13th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1, Madison got a free kick just in front of the Newcastle arc circle. It was a good position. If it was connected with an effective shot, it could lead to an upset goal.

Then out of the blue, midfielder Yves Bissouma offered to kick a free kick. Bissouma was disciplined for inhaling laughter gas and missed the opening game, but he gained momentum by scoring in the match against Everton in the second round. Was it because of his confidence? When Bissouma wanted to kick the ball instead of Madison and Pedro Po, Tottenham captain Son Heung-min approached Bissouma and persuaded him. Bissouma seemed not to understand easily, and put his arm on Son's shoulder and looked elsewhere.

The situation in question continued. Madison and Porro, who had to kick a free kick, were also confused about who should try the kick in the situation, according to Football London. Both are right-footed kickers for Tottenham.

"In the second half, Tottenham got a free kick from a dangerous position just outside the Newcastle penalty box," the media said. "However, there was a strange moment when Madison and Porro could not decide who should handle the kick."

"When POW and Madison were deadlocked, Son approached the bench and shouted at Postecoglou for making strange and unexpected decisions by his captains or players on the ground. Radu Dragusin delivered the message," he added.

Coach Postecoglou came forward belatedly. He thus instructed the prisoner with excellent right foot kick to kick him. He pointed two fingers in one hand and raised three fingers in the other hand to indicate the prisoner's uniform number (No. 23).

There is no way that the set piece that followed in a restless atmosphere will go well. The prisoner's shot did not lead to a valid shot as it flew over the goal.

Fans criticized Coach Postecoglou for failing to clearly define a free kicker. Bissouma, who is known to have poor kick power, suddenly appeared to kick a free kicker, which is why he criticized the coach. This means that the team is going around unilaterally, breaking the promise of a free kicker. [메이저놀이터](https://www.ibeautylab.co.kr/18/

Some fans also questioned the fact that Son was not given a chance to kick free of kicks. Although Son did not have many chances until the 2022-2023 season due to Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) exclusively responsible for Tottenham's free kick, the corner kick was kicked well. He scored several sharp free kick goals for the Korean national soccer team. Son could have kicked a free kick with all his energy, but he conceded. Son has scored five goals in A-match free kicks alone over the past two years.

He also demanded accurate instructions on the kicker from the bench. Many scenes of Son bending his head or making a despondent expression were caught during the match. Tottenham is also shaky.
