'Bentancourt Racism' directed by Postecoglou'SON is the most important'
[Tynecastle Park (Edinburgh, England) = Egan Sports Chosun, reporter] Tottenham manager Enzi Postecoglou said that the 'racism incident in Bentancourt' would be 'Son Heung-min's way'.

Tottenham won the pre-season match against Hurts 5-1 at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh on the afternoon of the 17th (local time). Son Heung-min started and played 45 minutes in the first half. He showed sharp movements and predicted that he will play as an ace for the upcoming season.

At the post-match press conference, there was talk about Bentancourt.

On June 14, shortly after the end of the 2023-2024 season, Bentancourt made a 'racist remark' on Uruguay's broadcast. The broadcaster asked "Can I get Son Heung-min's uniform?" Bentancourt could give Son Heung-min's cousin's uniform. They look alike."

The wavelength was huge. Asian fans, including South Korea, rose up with it. It was a racist remark. Bentancourt posted an apology on Instagram Story, tagging Son Heung-min himself.

'My brother, Sonny. Apologies for what happened, it was just a very bad joke! You know I love you, and I will not be rude to you or hurt anyone else! I love you brother!'

However, there was a lack of authenticity. It was just a simple joke. There was no apology for racism.

Tottenham also responded to the stage. Korean fans' protests continued. On the 20th, Son Heung-min posted his stance on social media.

'I spoke to Rollo (Bentancourt's nickname). He made a mistake and apologized when he found out. Lolo never meant to say anything unpleasant on purpose. We are brothers and nothing has changed. 'We're back together after this, we'll come back together in pre-season and play as one for our club.'

Only then does Tottenham fully support Son, quoting Son's apology' expressed his position.

But this problem continued. In the end, it also emerged at Postecoglou's press conference. The question was whether to have an interview with Bentancourt on this matter, or to have an interview when he returned.

Postecoglou will not be " (talking about it)"This issue has already been dealt with." The intention was that Son Heung-min's thoughts were the most important. Postecoglou said, `The most important person in this process is Son Heung-min. He will guide us and let us know. "The matter is being dealt with. I am sure that there will be further steps behind the scenes", he explained. He "It's easy to jump in and come to a conclusion. But the most important person is the person affected by this. In this case, it is Son Heung-min. We will follow his decision.'
