There is also a possibility that Yang Min-hyuk's Tottenham debut will be later than expected.
Still, he was very active in his debut year in Asia's best K League 1 and was even nominated for MVP, but his participation is expected to be unclear for the time being.
I understand the meaning of Yang's upgrade by putting him in a jungle of Premier League survival competition, but he was not very good at expressing his intention. He is saying this to Tottenham Hotspur manager Anji Postecoglou.
The remarks and actions made by coach Anji Postecoglou, the head coach of her team, about Yang Min-hyuk, who is training in earnest at Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League after the first season of the K-League are controversial.
Postecoglou said he would treat other players the same way and encourage them to adapt rather than special plans.
However, referring to Yang Min-hyuk, he is being criticized for having underestimated K League 1 too much.
Coach Postecoglou was asked about Yang Min-hyuk at a pre-press conference for the 2024-2025 English Premier League 20th round home game against Newcastle United at the club's training ground "Hotsper Way" in London on the 3rd (Korea time).
"There is no plan or timeline for Yang," he said. "I will let him adjust. He is a very young player from the other side of the world who is less sophisticated than what he will face soon."
In a way, it can be seen as a consideration, but it is said that the expression was too much for the first remarks made about a player who spent 20 days in London and finished jet lag and conditioning.
Yang Min-hyuk stood out enough to win the Young Player Award in the first season of the K League 1 as well as the MVP candidate, but the environment of England and the level of the Premier League cannot be compared to that of the K League 1, which means that adaptation is a priority for the time being, but it is regrettable that Yang Min-hyuk is absent at a time when a large number of young players have been added as candidates for actual games.
Tottenham lost 1-2 against strong team Newcastle United in the 20th round of the Premier League season on the 4th.
The upset loss is also a shock, but for domestic fans, it was regrettable to exclude the list of Yang Min-hyuk along with Son Heung-min's replacement.
Due to Postecoglou's remarks, there were speculations that Yang might be included in the list of potential replacements as well as starters. Yang was excluded from the list of 11 starters and 12 starters. What's regrettable is that five former youth players were included in the replacement list. Of course, none of them had a chance to play, but questions remain over whether Yang was lagging behind them.
However, Postecoglou expected the presence of captain Son Heung-min to help Yang Min-hyuk adapt quickly.
"Still, Son Heung-min will be of great help," he said, suggesting that the presence of captain Son Heung-min, who has lived at Tottenham for 10 years, will help Yang Min-hyuk make a soft landing in London.
After signing a six-year contract with Tottenham in July, Yang Min-hyuk, who arrived in England on the 16th of last month after a six-month lease in Gangwon, received a lot of attention this winter as he became the first registered player in the entire Premier League.
Starting as a semi-professional player in the 2024 season, he scored 12 goals and 6 assists as he set a milestone of playing in the K League 1 debut season. If he went to his third year of high school a year ago and prepared for his professional debut as a "lotto-like" prospect, he has grown tremendously as a winger who now plays for Tottenham, a leading Premier League team.
Yang was a semi-professional when he made his K League 1 debut last year. He signed a professional contract with the club in June last year after sweeping "Young Player of the Month" from March to May. He became an official professional player in just six months. Since then, Tottenham has shown interest in Yang from the early to mid-season and signed a contract with Tottenham in July, one month after his professional contract.
Upon arriving at Tottenham, Yang Min-hyuk immediately began to train and adjust to the new team and environment. He was not able to play in the game because Yang Min-hyuk was not listed on the Tottenham list in the first half of the year.
Yang Min-hyuk, who was not registered as a player, was also excluded from Tottenham team training and only trained individually.
Still, Son's presence gave a big boost to the team. On April 21, Tottenham posted photos of Yang being trained indoors on its official SNS. Among them were photos of Tottenham and South Korea's national soccer team captain Son Heung-min watching Yang's training.
Until Yang signed with Tottenham in July last year, he said, "I want to tell you that it will be difficult. 스포츠토토 The Premier League is not easy at all. In order to grow into a top player, everything must be perfectly prepared, including language, culture, physicality, personality, being separated from family and living alone," Son said after Yang started training at Tottenham, "I hope he will bring great soccer and talent to the club. I want to see him play with us."
In a departure interview last month, Yang Min-hyuk made headlines by saying, "Now, I want to call Son Heung-min 'brother'."
"This year's turning point is when Yang Min-hyuk is registered with Tottenham and is about to debut in the first division," British public broadcaster BBC said. "Yang Min-hyuk has already stayed in London for two weeks. He stayed at a lodging facility in Tottenham's training ground with his agent, took English lessons, and went through physical training provided by Tottenham."
Yang Min-hyuk became the first registered player in the Premier League in the winter transfer market on the 2nd.
British media and others believe that Yang Min-hyuk will be able to play in the round of 64 FA Cup against Tamworth in the fifth division on the 12th. Tamworth is a team that was promoted after being in the sixth division last season. This season's FA Cup 1st and 2nd rounds caused an unexpected incident by defeating third-division clubs in succession, and the players cheered when they faced Tottenham, a big Premier League club, in the round of 64 in the third round.
It is called England, but many say that if it is about five parts, there will be no significant difference from the K3 and K4 levels in Korea. Yang Min-hyuk, who stirred up the K League 1, is good enough to enter as a starter or substitute.
The variable is that Tottenham has been sluggish in the recent Premier League with one win, two draws and five losses. In the FA Cup, key players can be deployed rather than Yang Min-hyuk for a big win against teams under two or three levels.
