This clip of Son Heung-Min trying to move the ball about gives anyone an at-a-glance understanding of how bad conditions were for Tottenham in Bangkok.
The ball stopped dead!
But how was this allowed to happen, was it just bad luck?
Questions need to be asked as to why Daniel Levy chose to send Tottenham to a country with has a monsoon season at this time of the year.
Any rational person going on a straightforward private holiday would ask themselves if they wanted to run the risk of severe rainfall when opting to head to Bangkok at this time of the year.
The Met Office provides the following guidance:
The rainy or ‘monsoon’ season in Thailand occurs between July and October. The rains in the first few months are heavy but inconsistent (lasting just a few hours), whereas towards the end they become more persistent. The best time to visit is during the hot season, which lasts from March to June.
Maybe football, getting the valuable preseason training should have been the priority, as opposed to winning more fans in Asia, eh?
