What Son said post Tottenham defeat?
Speaking to Sky Sports, Son reflected on the difficult night, emphasizing accountability and the need to move forward. “Conceding six goals is really painful,” he admitted.
“I don’t want to make excuses. We tried to be sharp, but Liverpool are top of the league for a reason. If you make mistakes, they punish you.”
Son also spoke about the risks in football, saying, “Even if you sit back, you can still concede. Football is always risky. But we must stick together through these tough times and come back stronger.”
While the loss stung, it’s not all doom and gloom for Tottenham. Manager Ange Postecoglou’s project has shown glimpses of promise, with a focus on attacking football and young talent.
Though injuries have exposed the squad’s limits, they’ve also allowed new players to step up.
As Spurs look toward 2025, their focus must shift to long-term development. The road ahead may be uncertain, but the promise of progress is enough to keep fans hopeful.
