‘Bull’ Hwang Hee-chan (27, Wolverhampton), who is active in the English professional football Premier League (EPL), cried at the bad luck of injury even after contributing to the victory against Liverpool by inducing the opponent’s own goal메이저놀이터.
Hwang Hee-chan was involved in the team’s opening goal in the 5th minute of the first half in the 2022-2023 EPL round 22 home game against Liverpool held at Molyneux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England on the 5th (Korean time), leading Wolverhampton’s 3-0 victory.
Hwang Hee-chan, who received a roving pass from the right side of the goal area in the 5th minute of the first half, stole the timing of the opponent’s defender and passed a ground ball aiming for a colleague rushing from the center. The pass hit Liverpool defender Joel Matip’s leg and headed towards goal, leading to Wolverhampton’s opening goal. The official record was recorded as Matip’s own goal, but in fact it was no different from a goal made by Hwang Hee-chan.
Hwang Hee-chan scored 1 goal and 1 assist against Liverpool in the 2019-2020 season European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) group stage match (Salzburg 3-4 loss) while playing in Salzburg (Austria). This season, wearing the Wolverhampton uniform, he scored a goal to tie the score 2-2 in the third round of the FA Cup, putting Liverpool in trouble.
Hwang Hee-chan showed a strong side to Liverpool by inducing an own goal that day as well, but had to stop the bull’s run due to a sudden injury. In the 42nd minute of the first half, he grabbed the back of his right thigh (hamstring) while trying to break through and collapsed. Substituted to the bench, he was replaced by Adama Traore.
Hwang Hee-chan was unable to play in two group matches at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to a left hamstring injury. Wolverhampton coach Julen Lopetegui said, “It’s a pity” after the game and said, “I don’t know how long Hwang Hee-chan will rest. He is a player who understands all of our tactical aspects.”
Meanwhile, Wolverhampton, who recorded 20 points (5 wins, 5 draws, 11 losses) with the victory that day, widened the gap with Everton (18 points) in the relegation zone to 2 points.
