Sun Xingmin and his teammates enjoy the joy brought by the championship. Xinhua News Agency reported that in the early morning of the 22nd, in the final of this season's Europa League, Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0, winning its first championship trophy in 17 years. This is the most heavyweight champion in the club's history, but it won in the most frustrating season, which is really unpredictable.

Son Heung-min, a South Korean player who has been joining Tottenham for 10 years, was the first to win the UEFA Cup trophy. From the age of 22 to 32, he left his best years at the White Hart Lane Stadium. With him, countless players hurried by, including his best forward partner Kane, but in the end, only Son Heung-min persevered, and together with Tottenham, he completely shattered the crownless curse.

Tottenham's trough actually started after Kane left. In the past two seasons, Tottenham has mainly relied on Son Heung-min on the front line, but as he grows older, this player, who is known for his physical fitness, can no longer run, and his number of appearances this season has hit a new low. In the final of the Europa League, although coach Postkoglu said that Son Heung-min's form has recovered well, he still pressed him on the bench and was not allowed to replace the injured Richardson in the 67th minute. At this time, the captain Romero tied his armband to Son Heung-min's arm because everyone knew that after the game, the first player who was qualified to raise the trophy was the old captain who took the lead after Kane ran away.

From the young boy to the captain on the court, from the Premier League's top scorer to the first to Tottenham in 17, Son Heung-min has fulfilled his wish in ten years, and head coach Postkoglu has also proved that his madness in White Hart Lane for two years is not sensationalism. Two months after he arrived at Tottenham, Kane joined Bayern. The Australian coach actually needs to maintain a team without a leader. Two years of coaching have not brought substantial progress to Tottenham, and this season has even dropped to the point of relegation. If it weren't for the Europa League win, it would have been a foregone conclusion that Postkoglu was dismissed.

But the question is also that the championship is the best gift. A team that has not won the European Division II event championship in more than ten years. Is such an achievement enough to retain Postkoglu's position as coach? The answer may be no.

At present, the coach has not negotiated with the club's senior management to stay or stay, and it is likely that he cannot stay, because when Tottenham's record was poor, the club had already started to choose a coach. Postkoglu has built a young team, and his ideal is to achieve results five to six years later, but in today's football world, no club does not have such patience, let alone Tottenham, which is famous for its coaching speculation. If Postkoglu is dismissed, will veterans such as Son Heung-min, who are in a state that is not satisfactory, stay? All of this needs to be found this summer.
