Son Heung-min has been reborn as a sure ace by running more and faster since Conte took office, but data shows that he is getting tired little by little due to his tight schedule.

Since Conte took office, Son's activity has increased significantly.
In line with the manager's order, which emphasizes forward pressure and fast conversion, it ran 10.22 km per game, more than 1 km longer than before the Conte system, and the average speed was 6.61 km per hour, which is more than 10% faster.
Son Heung-min, who played more and faster, was selected as the December Player of the Month candidate with 4 goals and 1 assist in 5 league matches last month.
He was involved in nearly half of the team's overall goalscoring, leading to an undefeated streak.
However, most of them work full-time on a tight schedule, and they are exhausted.
Heung-Min Son's distance, speed, and number of sprints in the last four games have been decreasing compared to the first four games since Conte took office.

The future is tougher.
As the match against Leicester City, which has been postponed due to Corona 19, intervened in the schedule for January, he has to play five matches for two weeks from this weekend, and then join the national team immediately to qualify for the World Cup final.
With the fate of the ace on his back, Son Heung-min is breaking through a difficult January head-on.
