Tottenham Hotspur’s ongoing challenges on the pitch have been exacerbated by a concerning moment involving captain Son Heung-min and manager Ange Postecoglou, sparking debates about potential conflict within the dressing room.
After Spurs’ 1-1 Europa League draw against Rangers at Ibrox, a video emerged showing Son seemingly ignoring Postecoglou’s attempt to speak with him post-match.
This interaction—or its absence—has led to speculation that the manager might be losing the confidence of his players, raising questions about the team’s unity during a difficult period.

The draw against Rangers marked Tottenham’s fifth consecutive game without a win across all competitions, comprising three draws and two defeats. Despite a valiant effort to salvage a point through Dominic Solanke’s clever assist to Dejan Kulusevski in the 75th minute, Spurs struggled throughout the match, managing just 0.87 expected goals compared to Rangers’ 1.28.

This incident adds to the mounting pressure on Postecoglou, whose side currently languishes in 11th place in the Premier League with just 20 points from 15 matches.
With six wins, seven losses, and two draws, Tottenham’s inconsistency has raised concerns about both the tactical approach and the morale within the squad.
Although chairman Daniel Levy has publicly supported Postecoglou, moments like this cast a shadow over the manager’s standing.
The apparent disconnect with Son, who is expected to act as a bridge between the manager and the players, could point to deeper issues within the team’s dynamics.
To avoid further disruption, Tottenham must address these concerns promptly. For Postecoglou, the priority lies in mending relationships within the squad, particularly with key figures like Son, while striving to stabilize results on the field.
As Spurs face a challenging stretch of the season amid injuries and fluctuating form, the bond between the manager and his players will be under close scrutiny.
