Son Heung-min (Tottenham) was selected as the striker of the team of the week in Europe’s top five leagues.
Statistics media ‘Whoscored’ compiled a list of the best eleven based on the performance of the five major European leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France) held last weekend. Athletes who can fly and crawl each have their names listed side by side.
Son Heung-min was selected as the two-top striker in the 4-4-2 formation. Son Heung-min recorded one goal and one assist against Fulham in the 9th round of the English Premier League (EPL) held at Tottenham Potster Stadium in London, England on the 24th, leading to a 2-0 victory.
It was a double blessing. Son Heung-min was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MOM) of the game by the EPL Secretariat and was also selected in the EPL Team of the Week. Subsequently, they also showed their presence in the Team of the Week in the top five European leagues selected by ‘WhoScored.com’.
The striker selected as the top two along with Son Heung-min is Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid). The four midfielders are Hvicha Kvaratshelia (Napoli), Douglas Lewis (Aston Villa), Aleksandr Golovin (AS Monaco) and Jacob Murphy (Newcastle).
The four defenders are Diego Rico (Getafe), Craig Dawson (Wolverhampton), Isaac Toure (Lorient), and Carlos Soler (PSG), and the goalkeeper position is taken by Etrit Berisha (Empoli).
Unlike this list, Son Heung-min was classified as a midfielder in the EPL Round 9 Team of the Week. The EPL Secretariat announced the Team of the Week as 3-4-3. Son Heung-min and James Maddison (Tottenham) were selected as four midfielders. Son Heung-min was positioned as left midfielder, and Maddison was positioned as central midfielder. Douglas Lewis (Aston Villa) and Jacob Murphy (Newcastle) stood on the other side.
The three strikers selected were Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest), and Salah (Liverpool). Alan Shearer, who placed Son Heung-min in an unexpected position, said, “Son Heung-min is enjoying his role as captain this season. One more goal was added in the recent game (against Fulham). “We have already reached our 7th goal,” he said. 안전놀이터
