There was a reason for keeping the national team at the forefront for a long time. Hwang Eui-jo, who stood on the K-League ground for the first time in six years wearing an FC Seoul uniform, made his debut successfully.
He started in the 2023 Hana One Q K League 1 Incheon United match held on the 25th at Sangam World Cup Stadium in Seoul and failed to record an attack point for 84 minutes, but based on his unique vigorous activity, he improved FC Seoul’s performance and won 2-1. helped
Hwang Ui-jo played only 19 minutes while at Olympiacos after the World Cup in Qatar. On the 12th of last month, he played as a substitute in the cup competition with Atromitos.
His starting appearance is the first since the match against Uruguay in November last year. However, Seoul coach Ahn Ik-soo put Hwang Eui-jo as the frontline striker instead of Ilyuchenko, the main striker.
When asked about Hwang Ui-jo before the game, Incheon United coach Cho Sung-hwan said, “He is a player with high activity and good ability to penetrate space.”
As the game started, instead of worrying about Seoul fans that the sense of the game would have declined, Ahn’s vigilance turned toward the correct answer. Hwang Ui-jo played the ground without a break even though he was the front striker. When Incheon got the ball, they interfered with the build-up with active pressure. Park Dong-jin, who became Hwang Eui-jo’s partner, also has the advantage of being active. Seoul’s pressure from Hwang Eui-jo and Park Dong-jin prevented Incheon from advancing.
Also, when Seoul attacked, he did not stay at the forefront and came down to the midfield to help with the build-up. Seoul created a scoring opportunity by aggressively attacking the space created by the Incheon United defense while defending Hwang Ui-jo. It was a scene where Hwang Eui-jo was well received in Bordeaux with his national team.
The highlight was the 37th minute of the first half. When Seoul seized the opportunity to counterattack, Hwang Eui-jo, who was in the defensive camp, sprinted forward. The pass was headed for Hwang Ui-jo near the penalty box. Hwang Eui-jo tried to shoot after creating space with an upper body trick in front of a defender. Hwang Eui-jo’s shot went low and headed to the corner of the goal, and Incheon goalkeeper Lee Tae-hee managed to block it. Even in the 5th minute of the second half, he made an effective shot despite turning his back on the defense. 토토사이트
Seoul, led by coach Ahn Ik-soo, is a team that creates the most scoring opportunities in each game in the K-League with organic player movements and various attack patterns. If Hwang Ui-jo regains his prime, it is a good thing for Hwang Ui-jo, Seoul, and the national team.
Hwang Eui-jo left Girodin Bordeaux (France) ahead of this season and signed a contract with Olympiacos (Greece).
However, he scored only 1 assist during his 5 appearances in the Greek Super League. As he was pushed out of the starting competition, his playing time decreased, and in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he gave up his starting position to Cho Kyu-seong after the match against Uruguay.
After terminating the rental contract with Olympiacos, Hwang Ui-jo signed a six-month short-term contract with Seoul to continue playing.
