Korean midfielder Hwang In-beom 28 left a strong impression alone in his debut defeat.
Hwang In-beom made his Dutch Feyenoord debut on his birthday. He made his first greeting to Feyenoord fans through the first leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League phase against German Bundesliga champion Bayer 04 Leverkusen on the 20th.
The result was regrettable. Feyenoord lost to Leverkusen unilaterally. While failing to block the opponent team's offensive, he gave up four goals in the first half alone, collapsing. Despite the chaotic situation, Hwang displayed stable movements by supporting him from his waist. To take the lead, he constantly distributed balls and added tremendous amount of activity.
Hwang played full-time since his debut. He also posted a good record. According to the soccer statistics website Sofa Score, he garnered a blush in the 81st inning, recording a success rate of 82 percent. He dribbled twice. He also displayed impressive defense indicators. He performed well in both offense and defense, including three wins in ground competition, two wins in provisional rights, and three tackles.
He showed great performance even though he didn't spend enough training time, Feyenoord coach Brian Friske said. His performance in the second half certainly showed his experience and skills. He has played in many leagues. We all confirmed his capability.
Feyenoord praised Hwang for his growth by calmly taking steps from the time he was recruited. Immediately after his recruitment, Feyenoord called Hwang a player with the spirit of sacrifice, paying attention to his career in various leagues around the world. Starting with the Daejeon Hana Citizen, Hwang has made achievements in various levels including the Vancouver Whitecaps copyright, Rubin Kazan Russia, Olympiacos Greece, FC Seoul and Tsurvena Zvezda Serbia.
Friske also asked for various roles while looking at Hwang's path. Hwang joined the national soccer team during the A-match in September and talked about the transfer process of Feyenoord. At the meeting where the club's CEO, coach, and agent were present, Feyenoord said, I've watched a lot of people play the role that the team wants no matter where the 6, 8, 10 seats are. They asked me where I'm comfortable with, and added, I also appealed that I'm confident that I can play anywhere if the position I want is clear and the system is clear. 동행복권파워볼
He got off to a good start. Feyenoord lost, but the Dutch media are busy complimenting him. 1908.nl also said, He was the only one who shined out of poor Feyenoord. I could see why Friske used Hwang from the beginning of the game. He led the attack through elaborate passes and supported the team through dedicated plays. He gave a rating of 7.4.
However, Hwang was not satisfied with his performance. I am happy to make my debut in front of fans, but I am sorry that I did not bring a result. I will do my best to show better performance in the future, Hwang said in a post-match interview.
