Hwang Hee-chan's performances have been getting rave reviews. Local media in Wolverhampton have praised Hwang as a player that managers will love.
Wolverhampton drew 1-1 with Aston Villa in the eighth round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, at 10 p.m. ET on Aug. 8. The result leaves Wolverhampton in 14th place in the league with eight points. After a 0-0 first half, the real battle came in the second half. With Wolverhampton in the lead, Neto broke down Villa's flank in the eighth minute of the second half and sent a low cross that Hwang Hee-chan caught and rattled the net with a left-footed shot from inside the box. However, Wolverhampton were unable to hold on to their lead and Torres equalized 10 minutes into the second half. In stoppage time, Villa were reduced to 10 men due to accumulated cautions. Wolverhampton barely withstood Villa's onslaught, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Hwang Hee-chan was the star of the show. With a 7.7 rating on Fúscore.com, he was named the Most Valuable Player. "He is the first Wolverhampton player to score in five consecutive PL home games," said soccer statistics site Opta. He broke several records. With his sixth goal of the season, he broke the record for most goals in a season since joining Wolverhampton. Hwang scored 16 goals in 40 games across all competitions for Red Bull Salzburg in the 2019-20 season. When he joined the club in the 2021-2022 season, his previous best was five goals in 30 league appearances. With five goals in the league, Hwang is currently third in PL scoring. He is in the best form since joining the club. Last season, Hwang missed a lot of games due to injury. He started only 12 games and scored only three goals. The sudden departure of coach Julen Lopetegui, who had consistently given him chances, before the season, raised concerns about the competition for a starting spot, but the worries were unfounded. Hwang's performance is good news for Wolverhampton. After a slow start to the season, Wolverhampton turned things around by 사설토토 beating Manchester City in the seventh round on a late goal from Hwang Hee-chan. "Hwang has been really good this season," said Molineux News, which covers Wolverhampton. With his work rate and off-the-ball movement, we know he's a player that managers trust," praised Hwang. "Last season, he looked like he was struggling to gain confidence. When he scores goals, that confidence starts to grow. Now you can see his all-round game. He looks like he is enjoying playing under Gary O'Neill."
