Hwang Hee-chan on the rise after the Qatar World Cup
Hwang Hee-chan joined Wolverhampton on loan last season and entered the Premier League. He got off to a good start. After scoring 4 goals in the first half alone, Wolverhampton triggered the full transfer clause for Hwang Hee-chan. However, with only one goal against Arsenal in the second half, the pace slowed sharply. Hwang Hee-chan’s final score was 5 goals. It was not a bad report card considering it was the first season of his transfer.
The problem is this season, the second year. He started in the first two games of the season, but after that, he was completely pushed out of the main competition and kept the bench. The goalless period was prolonged because he did not get a chance. To make matters worse, manager Bruno Raz resigned due to poor performance.
However, it became an opportunity for Hwang Hee-chan. He gained confidence by scoring a dramatic come-from-behind goal in the final group stage match against Portugal at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and his position began to change after returning to his team, Wolverhampton. Just in time, new coach Hulen Lopetegui also hired Hwang Hee-chan.
Hwang Hee-chan, who announced a fresh start in the second half by recording an assist in the League Cup against Gillingham, the first game after the World Cup, took the opportunity to start in three consecutive league games. In this FA Cup Round of 64 match against Liverpool, he started on the bench by the rotation system, but received a special order to be put in as a joker in the middle of the second half in a situation where the team was losing 1-2. And Hwang Hee-chan showed off his presence after 3 minutes of substitution.
He teamed up with Kunya and scored the equalizer. It was the first goal of the season and the first goal in 11 months since the match against Arsenal in February 2022. Wolverhampton, who suffered from Hwang Hee-chan’s equalizer, could aim to advance to the round of 32 through a rematch.
