“After just two games, Hwang made an unforgettable impression at Feyenoord. He immediately showed that he can take control of the team,” the Dutch ‘One Football’ said on the 27th (Korea Standard Time), citing an interview with Hwang and ‘Bootball International’.
According to the media, Hwang said, “When Feyenoord contacted me, I had a Zoom call with my trainer. It was a really good conversation. Trainer Denis de Closet talked about one of my matches in LA. I still remember that match. Because of this, I felt how much they wanted me, and I thought Feyenoord’s interest was appropriate.” He must have chosen to move because he really wanted to be Feyenoord.
He continued, “People may look at me and think, ‘This player has never played even though he can play in a big league. But that’s life, and it can’t affect how things go. There have always been different options, but I only want to go to the teams that really want me. Vancouver White Caps, Rubin Kazan, Olympiacos, Tsurvena Zvezda really wanted me.”
Until now, Hwang had been on the outskirts of Europe. Starting with the Major League Soccer in the U.S., Olympiacos in Greece, and Zvezda in Serbia, he showed good performances whenever he changed teams. Rumors were that he would move to a big league. Notably, there were news that the Bundesliga and the Premier League were interested in Hwang ahead of this summer’s transfer window.
However, Hwang finally chose Feyenoord, a prestigious Dutch club. Although the Dutch league is a high-quality league and Feyenoord is well-known in the Netherlands, some players expressed regret that they failed to advance to one of the top five European leagues. Hwang replied, “I want to join a team that truly wants me.” 토토사이트 추천
After joining Feyenoord, Hwang made his presence known through only two matches, his debut match and the latest league game. He displayed strong performance in the first round of the UEFA Champions League phase, which was his debut match against Leverkusen. Although his team suffered a crushing defeat of 0-4, he is said to have shone as much as Hwang. He also started in the second match against Eredivisie Breda in the Netherlands.
