England's legendary soccer star Michael Owen 44 comforted Son Heung-min Tottenham, who was on the verge of opening game due to his remarks. 스포츠토토 Son Heung-min started in the first round of the English Premier League EPL in the 2023-2024 season against Brentford at G-Tech Community Stadium in London on the 13th and played the ground until he was replaced by Ivan Perisic in the 30th minute of the second half.
It was his first appearance as a captain, but there were no offensive points, and the team tied 2-2. In particular, in the 22nd minute of the first half, when he was leading 1-0, he collided with Matthias Jensen in the process of covering the opponent's counterattack and made a foul that allowed a penalty kick. Initially, the referee declared a no foul and the game was played for a while, but it was a penalty kick decision that came after an on-field review following a call by VAR video referee. Brian Mboumo equalized in the 26th minute as a kicker.
After the opening game, local media criticized Son Heung-min's performance. Mirror magazine said, Did the performance drop for a while or can't you show your world class skills anymore? He also criticized it. Such criticism was fueled by Son Heung-min's foul of dedicating a penalty kick.
Meanwhile, Wonder Boy Owen made a point about Son Heung-min's decision. According to British media on the 14th, Owen commented on the opening match between Tottenham and Brentford, saying, I'm very surprised and I don't understand about Son Heung-min's decision to allow a penalty kick.
I thought the referee's on-field decision should be maintained, Owen said on the Premier League show program Premier League Productions. However, I was very surprised that it went to VAR, he said, rather criticizing the decision process. He stressed that he could not understand the expression very, very surprised rather than just being surprised.
In addition, Owen said, At the time It seems that I only heard the sound of shouting like an animal in anticipation of VAR, but that's not the only one. There must have been people who shouted a penalty kick, but not a penalty kick, he said. It is interpreted that he pointed out that he may have been pushed into VAR by the cry of the Brentford home crowd.
