Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has been playing his part in the team's A-League campaign as they travel between South Korea, Thailand and England. Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou has been impressed with his professionalism.

Son started up front against Luton Town in the 30th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 12:00 p.m. ET. Son scored a dramatic 86th-minute winner with the score tied 1-1 in the second half. Tottenham went on to win 2-1. The three points kept their hopes of a fourth-place finish alive.

Son Heung-min played A matches on the 21st and 26th. He played full-time in both the home and away matches against Thailand in the second Asian qualifying round of the North American World Cup. After the game in Thailand on the night of the 26th, Heung-min flew back to London. He had just three days of rest before returning to Premier League action.

Postecoglou substituted Son in the 88th minute with the score 2-1. He brought on midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to shore up the defense while also giving Son a bit of a rest. [바카라사이트](https://www.casinositenet.com/)But it was practically full time.

No one would blame him for taking a day off if it was only for personal reasons. Son Heung-min is not that kind of player.

"He will be tired," says Postecoglou. Of course. It's hard. Even when I was the coach of the Australian national team, we had quite a few players who played on the other side of the world," he said, sympathizing with Son's situation.

"It's a long trip. There's jet lag. But Heung-min doesn't use those things as excuses. He wants to play at the highest level possible if he can, and that's what he does," he said, emphasizing that Son always gives his best.

Postecoglou added: "Playing for the national team is very important. Playing for your club is also very important. Heung-min doesn't lower his standards and doesn't play down. He has very high expectations of himself to always be the best, no matter who he is playing against or what kind of game he is playing. It's very difficult," he said, praising Son's professionalism.

Postecoglou added: "He tries to play at the highest level possible every time he plays. He has been a great footballer for this club for a long time. He will continue to be a great player for many years to come."

Son's goal was his 15th of the season. The league's top scorer, Elling Holland (18 goals, Man City), is now within striking distance. At the same time, Son has amassed 160 career goals in a Tottenham shirt. He moved into fifth place on Spurs' all-time goalscoring list.
