British media ‘Football Fancast’ reported on the 31st (Korea Standard Time), “Given Odober’s statistics, he is likely to eventually become Son Heung-min’s ideal successor at Tottenham Hotspur.”
With the 2024-25 season to come, Tottenham is focusing on “investment for the future.” Lucas Veribal, who confirmed his acquisition early last season, returned on loan and signed Archie Gray, who once dominated the English Championship (division 2) from Leeds United. Both players are young, born in 2006, and Veribal is a central midfielder, while Gray is a midfielder and defender.
Tottenham Hotspur F.C., which brought about the future of its midfield and defense, has launched a move to recruit strikers. The first signal was Yang Min-hyuk, a “superstar” player of Gangwon FC. Yang made his first professional debut as a semi-professional this season. He boasts bold dribbling skills just like a high school student, and determination and pressure on the level of an adult player. Recognizing Yang’s talent, Tottenham announced that it would recruit Yang during its pre-season visit to Korea. Yang will wrap up the season in Gangwon Province and join Tottenham early next year.
Yang Min-hyuk was not the end of the game. Tottenham Hotspur F.D.O.B.U. is a French winger. He can play as both wingers, and he is good at creating sides based on his explosive speed. Kompany spent his youth at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and moved to Burnley after serving as a starting member. Kompany immediately utilized O’Dober as a starting member. O’Dober played 33 matches and scored four goals, signaling a successful PL spot. However, Burnley was demoted, and O’Dober was expected to spend the 2024-25 season in the second division. Tottenham didn’t miss the opportunity and made another investment in the future by bringing O’Dober through a surprise recruitment.
Coach Anze Postecoglou highly valued Odobert’s talent. Odobert made a surprise start against Everton in the second round with Postecoglou’s confidence. Dominic Solanke’s injury forced him to use Son as a front-line striker, and the left winger was empty. Timo Werner was a player who could play the position, but Postecoglou chose Odobert.
Given that it was his debut in the league, he did not have a bad job. With the start of the game, O’Donnell made an active dribbling breakthrough on the left side. Unlike Werner, who only takes straight movements, he poked trouble at the opponent’s defense by digging in and out. However, clear limitations were also revealed. As the game progressed, O’Donnell’s pattern was read by the opposing defense. O’Donnell played a total of 66 minutes and was replaced.
According to the soccer statistics media ‘Foot Mob’, O’Donbert recorded a pass success rate of 86% (31/36), one opportunity creation, one missed shot, 58 touches, seven touches in the box, 33% (2/6), and four balls taken away. The media gave O’Donbert a rating of 6.7 points, the lowest among the 11 Tottenham players. “Football Fancast” was also selected as Son Heung-min’s successor in recognition of O’Donbert’s performance, which recorded significant statistics on his debut.안전놀이터
In the end, Yang’s shoulders became heavier. Yang had outstanding competitors such as Dejan Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson, and Timo Werner in his position, but he will stage even fiercer competition with the addition of Odover. However, there is hope. Odover revealed his potential in his debut match and also his clear limitations. Yang should keep the “sincere advice” that Son Heung-min gave in mind.
