There is a lot of criticism about Hwang Hee-chan’s poor performance.
Wolverhampton Wanderers lost 2-3 to Brighton in the third round of the 2024-25 English Football League Cup at Amex Stadium in Brighton, England, at 3:45 a.m. on the 19th 먹튀검증 (Korea time).
The Premier League’s sluggishness continued in the EFL Cup. Hwang Hee-chan, who started for the first time in a long time, was silent again. Hwang Hee-chan, who only shot once, was replaced by Matheus Cunha in the 26th minute of the second half. There was no significant presence throughout the game. Hwang Hee-chan’s influence has plummeted this season, but it continued in the match against Brighton. Amid Hwang Hee-chan’s slump, Wolverhampton lost 2-3.
He did not look like a “bull” he expected. Last season, Hwang Hee-chan appeared in 29 Premier League matches, scoring 12 goals and three assists. The frequency of injuries decreased, and he increased the number of goals by banking on his ability to select a location and decision. After joining Wolverhampton, he showed the best performance and became a representative player of the team, and renewed his contract until 2028. Since Pedro Netu went to Chelsea, he has endured a lot of pressure from Wolverhampton.
Hwang Hee-chan faced criticism as he also showed poor performance in the match against Brighton. Freshmen such as Rodrigo Gomes and Pedro Lima showed better performances on the day and lacked competitiveness compared to key players such as Jorgan Stran Larsen and Matheus Cunha, which boosted criticism. The British ‘Moly New News’ said, “I couldn’t believe Hwang Hee-chan was a striker who scored 12 goals in the Premier League last season. The match against Brighton was the worst night for Hwang Hee-chan.”
“Hwang Hee-chan struggled very hard against Brighton. Hwang Hee-chan is having a tough early season and was terrible against Brighton. Hwang Hee-chan was disappointed in the record as well. It was only 21 touches. It was the same touch as Semedo, who replaced him. He only shot once and recorded 15 passes. Wolverhampton cannot be worn with this kind of performance. He is the worst player in Wolverhampton, and the current situation is very difficult. He did not look like he did last season. Hwang Hee-chan has to play in a wider range, but he is limited because he has Jorgen Stran Larsen and others. Hwang Hee-chan needs to find himself as soon as possible.”
“Hwang Hee-chan had the most successful season among Wolverhampton players last season, scoring 13 goals in all games,” said the British team’s “The Athletic.” Hwang Hee-chan, however, has become a bench resource in the Premier League this season. He got a chance against Brighton, but he touched only 21 times and shot only once. Leaving behind rumors of a transfer to Marseille, Hwang Hee-chan, who remains at Wolverhampton, seems to be far from his best condition. I doubt he will start, and what happened to Hwang Hee-chan? If this is maintained, it could be a discussion about his release along with Pablo Sarabia in the January transfer market.
