Britain, March 29 (BNA): Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min said he was sorry to see coach Antonio Conte leave the club and feels responsible for the Italian’s departure after failing to repeat his excellent form from the previous season.
Son, 30, finished as joint top scorer in the Premier League with 23 goals to help Spurs finish fourth under Conte last season, but the South Korean has scored just six goals in the league so far.
Tottenham parted ways with Conte on Sunday, eight days after he described his players as selfish, lacking in team spirit and unable to play under pressure in an extraordinary media conference after their 3-3 draw with Southampton, Reuters reported.
Tottenham were eliminated from domestic cup competitions as well as the UEFA Champions League. He ranks fourth in the English Premier League with 49 points from 28 games and returns to action at Everton on Tuesday.
