There is only one striker who will decide the winner! "Son Heung-min is the kingmaker" in Arsenal and the North London derby
Arsenal's hope for victory is decided by rival Tottenham Hotspur. Naturally, attention is focused on Son Heung-min's (31) toes.
The North London Derby, a rival match representing the English Premier League, will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 10 p.m. on the 28th (Korea time). Beyond the war of nerves between Tottenham and Arsenal, it is a game that will have a big impact on the championship and final ranking this season, drawing a lot of attention.
With the season drawing to a close, Arsenal sit in first place with 77 points from 24 wins, five draws, and five losses. Tottenham finished fifth with 18 wins, six draws, and eight losses, with 60 points. The situation is different, but they are in the same position to win.
Above all, the outcome of the match will likely have a significant impact on the championship competition. Chances are high that Arsenal will face Manchester City (76 points) for the second place with Liverpool (74 points) for the final round. From now on, every match is the final match. Of course, they must avoid losing, and a draw with only one point can be a fatal blow.
The most important thing to avoid in such a case is competition. Furthermore, Tottenham personally wants to end Arsenal's desire for the title. Ahead of the North London derby, the British media Mirror predicted that Tottenham will become the kingmaker in the most exciting championship race of the Premier League era. Starting with the match against Arsenal, Tottenham looks forward to meeting Liverpool and Manchester City.
The Mirror is paying attention to Son Heung-min in Tottenham by far. The Daily Mail said, "There is only one striker who can decide the fate of the title. Surprisingly, it is not Erling Holland (Manchester City), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), or Kai Havertz (Arnsal)," adding, "He has been an Arsenal player in 20 years." "I represent Tottenham in the most important North London derby."
"Tottenham will have a great influence on the fate of winning the Premier League, and Son Heung-min will enjoy the opportunity to face the best teams in Europe."
As expected, Son scored against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City in the first half of this season. He scored the first goal against Liverpool and had one goal and one assist in an away game against Manchester City. He also showed off his prowess as Tottenham's ace by scoring multiple goals for Arsenal and the North London derbies.
"I had two weeks to prepare for the match," Son said ahead of the Arsenal match. "There could be a mixture of negative and positive effects on the players because the last Newcastle United match was so bad," Son said. "It is true that the atmosphere has subsided with the Newcastle match, but we are raising the atmosphere through training."
Self-reflection was also included. Son said, "The Newcastle game was an unacceptable result. It was unacceptable for myself. I always play with confidence. I'm the type to play with more confidence. I'm no longer motivated by Arsenal games. Every game. I think now is my chance to prove myself."
