Rival team coach surrounds Son Heung-min “Michael Jordan makes mistakes too”

Suppression of growing anger towards Son Heung-min for missing goal against Manchester City

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta, whose competition for the English Premier League (EPL) title has become difficult due to Son Heung-min's (Tottenham) failure to score, responded that anyone can make a mistake.

British media outlet ‘Football London’ reported an article titled “How did Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta react to Son Heung-min’s mistake against Manchester City” on the 18th (Korean time).

Son Heung-min played in the 34th round of the 2023-2024 season EPL against Manchester City on the 15th, and had a solo chance against the goalkeeper in the 40th minute of the second half.

Since the score was 0-1, if Son Heung-min had scored, it would have been 1-1, and depending on the situation, a comeback could have been expected. 스포츠 토토사이트

However, Son Heung-min failed to score due to a save by Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.

Afterwards, Tottenham conceded one more goal to Erling Haaland and lost 0-2.

With today's defeat, Tottenham failed to advance to fourth place, which would qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League (UCL). A red flag has been raised not only for Tottenham but also for Arsenal, which is competing with Manchester City for the league title. As a result of this day, Manchester City reached 88 points, taking down Arsenal, who had 86 points, and rose to the sole lead. Arsenal, who finished second, defeated 15th-place Everton in the final league match and then faced the difficult situation of having to hope that Manchester City would draw or lose to West Ham at the same time. Arsenal fans' criticism of Son Heung-min, who missed the goal, intensified. Coach Arteta, who leads Arsenal, may have been disappointed with Son Heung-min's decision-making ability, but he responded that mistakes were natural. Coach Arteta said, “If I had to choose a player who could score at that moment in the EPL, it would probably be Son Heung-min,” suggesting that Son Heung-min did not miss on purpose. He continued, “Michael Jordan also scored a lot of winning shots, but he didn’t score at every moment. He may make mistakes sometimes. That's the beauty of sports. “What can I do?” he said, citing world-renowned basketball player Jordan as an example. At the same time, he did not give up hope for a dramatic victory, saying, “We are very optimistic about the final game of the league.” Meanwhile, the final match of the EPL, where the winner will be decided, will be played simultaneously at midnight on the 20th with 10 games from 20 teams. 온라인 슬롯
