Harry Kane & Son Heung-min Cooperation and Tottenham Hotspurs
Football is a team game. This has always been the case because football has often punished individuality with failure. In recent years, football has developed with teams that play team games well, and the importance of team play has gradually increased. With the development of team play, some players became more separated from the rest of the team and became known as duos. There are many legendary duos in the history of football, not only in the forward position, but also in other positions, there are unforgettable duos. E.g; Milan’s Italian legends Maldini and Baresi. Xavi — Iniesta, who made Barcelona and the Spanish National team almost invincible. Man United’s dynamos Scholes — Roy Keane are in the legendary duos classification, which is generally formed outside of the forward position.
There are more popular duos on the forward line. Legends like Raul — Morientes, Ronaldo — Rivaldo, Andy Cole — Dwight Yorke and Bergamp — Henry can be immediately remembered. But in recent years, there is a duo that gets along better and is more dominant than the others; Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. This duo has been playing together since 2015 and enchants football fans. Finally, Son and Kane, who directly contributed to each other’s 37 goals, broke the Premier League record in this field. Unfortunately, this incredible statistic did not bring success and trophies to the Spurs, but it did carry the duo to the rank of legends. Harry Kane, who is seen as one of the best strikers of recent years and went down in Premier League history with the goals he scored, is also in the history of PL from another point of view. Although his first job is to score goals, he averages about 10–15 assists throughout the year. Heung Min is cheering up the Spurs fans with extremely effective football. Despite this prolific duo, there is no success and no trophy for Spurs, they have scored a total of 321 goals for Spurs in the last 7 years (Kane 203- Last 118) but not a single trophy has been won. Spurs, who lost in the 2019 Champions League final, has always been in the top 4 in PL, but has not been successful in terms of the trophy. Why couldn’t even a trophy be won despite these two? Weren’t the rest of the team as resourceful as Son and Kane? All of these are debatable issues. Recently, it has been spoken that British star Harry Kane will leave Tottenham for Manchester City. Despite being very productive at Tottenham, the lack of desired success became a huge problem for Kane. He wants to go to City for victories and trophies, but this is not entirely certain. There is a general uncertainty in Spurs, according to some, there are quality names in the squad, but better ones are needed for success. Some players are not of Son and Kane quality and this is affecting the team badly. The Spurs squad is a structure that has quality and depth problems compared to the clubs in front of it. For this reason, Tottenham coaches have to constantly use all the quality players at their disposal. For stability and success, the Spurs should spend more mones ssy or be patient and give their youth players a chance.
Son and Kane have already become one of the most legendary duos of recent years, but there are still unfinished issues. This duo should not be disbanded without winning any trophies, some sacrifices may be required for this. Kane should stay for at least one more year and the Spurs should fight in PL next year with a much more ambitious and strong roster. Although this is a very variable situation, it is a possible situation. Not only Spurs fans, but almost all football fans do not want to remember this duo as a failure.
