#5 Son Heung-Min is a manager's dream

The South Korean is a manager's dream
The South Korean is a manager's dream

Being the manager of a top football club is very difficult. The pressure is always on from the fans, players, the owner, the board and pundits. Ultimately, the manager takes the blame for poor results, whether as a result of decisions made by himself or circumstances beyond his control. The manager eventually gets the sack and the cycle begins again.

On the other hand, having an absolutely committed quality player is a manager's biggest dream. Mauricio Pochettino must absolutely enjoy having the South Korean, Son Heung-Min in his team.

Having just returned from the Asian Cup, Son was thrust into the lineup as a result of a vastly depleted squad. The South Korean captain did not disappoint his manager as he put in a very committed performance capped off with his equaliser in the second half.

A difficult quality player can be a nightmare for a manager but a committed quality player is the stuff of dreams.
