Tottenham Hotspur’s captain, Son Heung-min, has urged his team to give everything they have in their remaining games, despite their slim chances of overtaking Aston Villa for a Champions League spot. Tottenham’s recent slump, with four consecutive league losses, has positioned Villa as the likely team to claim fourth place. Despite Tottenham’s poor run, Villa’s form hasn’t been stellar either. They only secured a single point from their last two matches, blowing a two-goal lead against Chelsea and then losing to Brighton.
Son Heung-min Challenges Spurs to Fight for Champions League Spot
Tottenham, however, faced significant setbacks. Their 4-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield followed heavy losses against Newcastle United and Chelsea, not to mention the close defeat at home against Arsenal. These results have left Tottenham with a mountain to climb if they hope to catch up with Aston Villa, who are seven points ahead with only three games left. Villa’s goal difference is also significantly better, adding to Tottenham’s uphill battle.
Son Heung-min acknowledged the challenge ahead but stressed the importance of fighting until the end. After their latest defeat to Liverpool, he expressed his disappointment but emphasized the need to keep pushing. “We all want to play in the Champions League. With three games to go, we must give everything, keep believing in our game, and work hard,” he stated. He also reminded fans that this is Tottenham’s manager’s first season in the Premier League, and they should not lose sight of the progress made so far.
Despite the bleak outlook, Son insisted that Tottenham must win all their remaining games and hope Aston Villa falters in their final fixtures. The odds are against them, but as Son pointed out, anything can happen in football. Villa will play Liverpool and Crystal Palace, with a single point likely enough to secure their Champions League spot. On the other hand, Tottenham still has to face Manchester City, along with the league’s bottom two teams, and will need all three wins to even have a chance.
Given the stakes, Son encouraged his teammates to stay focused and keep fighting. “We are on the right track,” he said, highlighting the importance of giving their best, despite the challenging circumstances.
