Recently, Arsenal's legendary star Martin Keown expressed his views on the upcoming North London derby in an interview with talkSPORT. He specifically mentioned the performance of Tottenham Hotspur and spoke highly of several key players, especially Son, as he believes that the South Korean striker could be the key man in the match.
Keown began by expressing his fondness for the Tottenham Hotspur team, "I like the performance of the Tottenham Hotspur team, I am impressed by the way they play and the unity they show." Such positive comments not only reflect Keown's deep understanding of the game of soccer, but also his recognition of the tactical style and spirit of the players in the Tottenham Hotspur team.
When talking about specific players, Keown singled out the importance of Son, "Son could be the key man in the middle of this game." As one of the top strikers in today's soccer world, Sun's speed, technique and shooting ability are all commendable, and his performance can often decide the direction of the game. Therefore, Keown's prediction is not empty.
In addition, Keown mentioned several other important players in the Spurs squad, including Kulusevski, Solanke, Bissouma, Maddison and Sarr. He regrets Solanke's absence due to injury, but also expects him to perform well once he recovers from his injury, "Solanke probably had a fantastic time while recovering from his injury, and this could be a springboard for him to start his Spurs career."
Speaking about Tottenham's defensive end, Keown spoke highly of the two wing-backs, Polo and Udoji: "I appreciate the way they play, always pressing and sprinting forward." This positive defensive attitude will not only help Tottenham to solidify their defense, but also provide strong support when attacking.
Finally, Keown also looked ahead to the upcoming match: "At 21:00 Beijing time on September 15, the fourth round of the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur will be at home to face Arsenal. This will be a much-anticipated match, and I believe both teams will go all out to give their fans a great game."
