Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur started their pre-season with a tour of South Korea packed with media appearances, grueling training sessions, and Korean barbecue.

Spurs’ principal sponsor AIA has also been using the tour to make headways into the Korean market, including showcasing an artificial intelligence version of Son Heung-min, known as “AI Sonny” who can share personalized messages with AIA’s Korean customers. In 2012, a pre-season match in Shanghai helped land Manchester United a world-record sponsorship deal with Chevrolet, who were reportedly blown away by United’s popularity in China. As well as their two games in Korea, Spurs’ schedule has been jam-packed with open training sessions, press conferences and media appearances. When Tottenham’s players arrived in Korea, they were met at the airport by Son Heung-min, who had stayed in the country following his games with the national team last month. A nice spin on the ball by Son led to Harry Kane’s opener early in the second half before Ivan Rakitic levelled the score for Sevilla with a strike from just outside the penalty area. Son and Kane both grabbed two goals in Tottenham’s first match — an action-packed win against Team K League. Conte deliberately waited until two minutes into the second half to bring Son on so that he could be cheered onto the pitch by the local fans.

Tottenham Hotspur's first preseason friendly in Korea was an exciting affair with goals galore, a 6-3 win for Spurs against a team of K-League all-stars.

A good warm-up against a side that likes to press, a taste of what they’ll likely see against the better teams in the Premier League. He had the turnover that started the play for Kane’s second half goal, and put in a crunching (and clean!) tackle in Spurs’ box that surely saved a goal. - I thought that Skippy played pretty well in the first half, but Bentancur was a distinct improvement over Skipp when he came on in the second half. - Son definitely caught Montiel with an elbow in the first half that drew blood, but it 100% wasn’t on Son, and the contact looked incidental. Plenty of robust tackling, and Richarlison got the brunt of a lot of it. - So contrast this with the K-League match and this was a lot less “friendly” of a competition.

Here are our Tottenham Hotspur second half player ratings after their pre-season draw against Sevilla in South Korea on Saturday.

N/A Came off with Kane with just over 15 minutes to go, having been a constant threat. Hit a weak shot after being teed up by Son and on 67 minutes he cut inside and curled an effort just over the crossbar. Added some great touches to the midfield but lost the ball in a key area on the hour mark and Sevilla should have done better with it. Combined with Tanganga to stop a Sevilla shot on target. Didn't have much to do in the second half other than pick the ball out of the net once.
