[OSEN=노진주 기자] There are very good evaluations of Hwang Hee-chan (27, Wolverhampton).
‘Molineux News’, which mainly reports Wolverhampton news, said on the 29th (Korea time), “Hwang Hee-chan has made tremendous progress compared to last season,” and “According to the football statistics company ‘Sofascore,’ Wolverhampton has already won the English Premier League (England Premier League) in the 2023-2024 season. “He scored 27 goals in the EPL, which is only 4 goals short of the 31 goals achieved by the club last season (in 38 games),” he said.
At the same time, he couldn’t keep his mouth shut, saying, “Wolverhampton’s incredible success is thanks to Hwang Hee-chan’s improved performance,” and “He is responsible for more than 1/3 of the team’s scores this season .”
On the same day, the EPL Secretariat also highlighted Hwang Hee-chan’s ‘scoring pace’ this season through his official social media account.
The secretariat compared Hwang Hee-chan’s records from the last two seasons together with this season’s records. Hwang Hee-chan scored 8 goals in 57 games in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, while in the 2023-2024 season, he scored 10 goals in 19 games.
His skills are in full bloom in his third year in the EPL.
Hwang Hee-chan, who left RB Leipzig and moved to Wolverhampton on loan during the 2021-2022 season, transferred permanently in January 2022.
Hwang Hee-chan, who seemed to have integrated well into the team by scoring consecutive goals immediately after his transfer, suffered from frequent injuries as time passed and his position reduce. Ahead of the 2022-2023 season, there were transfer rumors with a number of clubs, including Leeds United.
However, Hwang Hee-chan has a turning point this season. By breaking into the opponent’s net every day in the league, he contributed greatly to helping Wolverhampton, who were not far from the ‘relegation zone’, to settle in 11th place in the league.
Hwang Hee-chan, who scored his first goal of the season in a game against Brighton & Hove Albion on August 14, also hit the net against Crystal Palace on September 3. He also scored a goal in the next round , against Liverpool. However, none of the three goals resulted in the team winning, leading to the saying, ‘Strangely enough, if Hwang Hee-chan scores, Wolverhampton loses.’
But this was just a coincidence.
After taking a breather in the game against Luton, Hwang Hee-chan scored another goal against Manchester City on September 30th. The team won 2-1. In no time, it rose to become Wolverhampton’s greatest jewel.
Even after that, his toes didn’t get time to rest. Hwang Hee-chan quickly rose in the scoring positions. He also scored one goal against Aston Villa, Newcastle, Fulham, and Burnley, and scored several goals in the recent game against Brentford on the 28th, completing his tally of 10 goals.
In the match against Brentford, Wolverhampton won 4-1, making Hwang Hee-chan smile even brighter. In addition, Hwang Hee-chan, who scored his 9th and 10th league goals in the game, was alone in 6th place in the league scoring positions. He is just one goal behind teammate Son Heung-min of Tottenham (4th place, 11 goals) and four goals behind top scorer Erling Holland of Manchester City (14 goals).
What is surprising is that Hwang Hee-chan’s total effective shots this season is only 11. He hit 11 effective shots and scored 10 times.
‘Molineux News’ praised Hwang Hee-chan, saying, “The true value of Hwang Hee-chan’s scoring ability is beginning to be revealed,” and that the number of goals is huge compared to the number of effective shots. /jinju217@osen.co.kr
