Son Heung-min Reunites With 'Old Teacher' Pochettino After 4 Years

Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min will reunite with Mauricio Pochettino, a former teacher, after four years.

Tottenham Hotspur will play against Chelsea in the 11th round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 7th.

Tottenham is currently in second place, with one point fewer than Manchester City (27 points), the league's top-ranked team. However, if they win the match against Chelsea after playing one less game, they can regain the top spot.

Son Heung-min will reunite with Tottenham manager Pochettino after four years. Pochettino has led Tottenham for six seasons since 2014. During this period, he achieved the same results as second place in the EPL and second place in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). However, he left the team during the season due to poor performance in the 2019-20 season.

As Son Heung-min has grown into one of the EPL's best strikers under Pochettino, he may be glad to meet Pochettino outside the game. Son Heung-min has not only increased his scoring ability but also his position in the team, so he has taken over as Tottenham's captain since this summer. According to the British media "Evening Standard" on the 6th, Pochettino praised him, saying, "Son Heung-min is a great player," adding, "I am happy to be the captain and will faithfully fulfill his role."

Chelsea, which Tottenham will face, are not doing well this season. As of the end of the 10th round of the EPL, it ranks 13th in the league with 12 points (three wins, three draws and four losses). With a rebound needed, they will meet formidable opponents one after another, including Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Brighton and Manchester United. Chelsea's result against Tottenham, the first step, is inevitably important to survive the five consecutive games of hell. 먹튀검증
