Due to their exceptional ability to uplift struggling opponents, few Spurs fans would regret Dr. Tottenham’s departure. However, on Sunday in Seoul, emotions ran high during a pre-season friendly between the Bigger Vase champions and Newcastle. Tottenham and their South Korean fans emotionally bid farewell to Son Heung-min, who has epitomized Mr. Tottenham over the past decade. Substituted after 65 minutes in the 1-1 draw, an emotional Son received hugs and a guard of honor from both teammates and Newcastle players before taking to the bench for a tearful moment. After 10 years of dedicated service, Son, a beloved and high-performing Premier League player, is set to join MLS with LAFC. His absence will be felt in the English football scene often filled with anger, as his trademark smile will be missed.
“We didn’t want to end [our USA USA USA tour] like this. Our performance wasn’t the best, and we were a bit lazy today. We want to avoid that because laziness can cost us. [The squad’s quality] is improving but not there yet. It’s clear we need more competition… hopefully, we can bring in one or two more players,” said Bruno Fernandes as he addressed Manchester United’s performance after a 2-2 draw with Everton in Atlanta. They did win the Premier League Summer Series, so cheer up, Bruno.
