Postecoglou says Heung-min Son doesn’t need an armband to show his love for Tottenham
Quoted from what Football Paper told reporters. Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has insisted Son Heung-min doesn’t need an armband to show his love for the club.
The departure of the talismanic Harry Kane, who once wore the captain’s armband alongside Hugo Lloris, has left a void that needs to be filled. At the moment, there was no better option than Son Heung-min.
The South Korean sensation has been a steadfast presence at Tottenham since his arrival in 2015. Over the years, he’s not only become a fan favourite but has also demonstrated his commitment to the club on numerous occasions.
While Son’s tenure as captain has been relatively short, it has been nothing short of magnificent. Tottenham’s Premier League campaign has commenced with a flourish, remaining unbeaten in their first six games.
But Son’s goal-scoring ability isn’t the only thing that stands out. His leadership skills shone through and shed a bright light on the Lilywhite family’s journey. This was most evident in the recent North London derby, where Son’s influence was decisive.
In a recent interaction with the press, Ange Postecoglou couldn’t help but praise his captain and the incredible way Son embodies Tottenham Hotspur.
“To be fair to Sonny, he always has been. He hasn’t needed the armband to show his love for the football club.”
Indeed, Son’s love affair with Tottenham has been evident for years. It’s a bond that transcends the formality of a captain’s armband. He exudes the passion and dedication that every Spurs supporter holds dear
What makes Son’s captaincy all the more remarkable is his infectious positivity. He wears the armband with a beaming smile, a symbol of the joy he finds in leading this team. His positive attitude has a ripple effect throughout the squad.
