Wolverhampton + national team 'super emergency'
Hwang Hee-chan collapsed after an aerial ball contest with his opponent in the first half of the Premier League's 19th round away match against Brentford at G-Tech Community Stadium in London on the 28th, and was eventually replaced without continuing the game.
Hwang Hee-chan scored his ninth and 10th goals in the league right before the injury, scoring double-digit goals for the first time since entering the Premier League. Hwang scored an additional goal in the 14th minute of the first half when his team was leading 1-0, and scored a decisive goal in the 28th minute of the first half when his team was leading 2-1. However, he suffered a back injury just before the end of the first half, causing concern as he was out as a substitute.
It is also a big bad news for Korean soccer, which is seeking to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years. It was all the more regrettable because Hwang Hee-chan's performance this season was literally rising. Although the results of the detailed examination should still be released, Hwang Hee-chan's injury never seems light given that he could not easily get up right after Hwang Hee-chan collapsed and Wolverhampton immediately replaced him ahead of the end of the first half.
Holmtin Brentford went 4-3-3. Marc Plecan defended the goal. Mars Rörsleu, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock and Saman Godos formed the defense. Yegor Yarmolliuk, Christian Nurgor and Vitali Zanelt worked together in the midfield. Yoan Wisa, Neil Mupay and Keane Lewis Potter were the front three tops.
The away team Wolverhampton faced off 3-4-2-1. Jose Saga wore goalkeeper gloves. Totti Gomes, Santiago Bueno and Maximilian Kilman made up the back three. Ait Nouri, Mario Lemina, João Gomes and Nelsong Semedu made up the midfield, while Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia were in the second line. Hwang Hee-chan played as a front-line striker and sought to score.
Wolverhampton quickly took the lead. In the 13th minute of the first half, Lemina opened Brentford's net. In the left-side attack that followed from the corner, Lemina headed in a cross that Sarabia accurately put on her left foot. It was the perfect header for Brentford's defense to not move.
Just a minute later, Hwang Hee-chan scored an additional goal. It was a moment when his concentration shone. It was a little short for Brentford's defense to give a back pass to the goalkeeper. Hwang Hee-chan, who grasped this, quickly tried to press and cut it before the goalkeeper caught the ball. Hwang Hee-chan, who beat the goalkeeper, comfortably pushed it into the empty net to make it 2-0. It was Hwang Hee-chan's ninth goal in the league this season.
Brentford scored a chasing goal. Wisa lightly finished a lobbed pass that Mupay poked in the box in the 16th minute of the first half. However, Hwang Hee-chan sealed the victory. After catching a long ball at the back in the 28th minute of the first half, Hwang calmly folded it with his right foot and kicked it with his right foot in line with the goalkeeper's movement. He scored a double-digit score for the first time since entering the free league with his 10th goal in the league.
Hwang Hee-chan's decisive goal opened the score, but Brentford did not back down and did not slow down the attack. He continued to pressure Wolverhampton to create chances. He created a perfect goal chance in the free-kick attack that started from the right side, but his header shot in front of the goal slightly went over the net, swallowing regret.
Wolverhampton also kept his position and blocked Brentford's attack. Five minutes of extra time were given. Brentford once again continued to shoot through the cross from the side. It did not lead to a score as he headed straight to Jose.
Hwang Hee-chan, who was displaying his best form, collapsed. He complained of pain while lying on the ground with his hands near his waist after colliding with his opponent in a competition for aerial ball. Unable to get up easily, the Wolverhampton bench was in an emergency situation, and Hwang Hee-chan held his face in his hands. Wolverhampton hurriedly prepared a substitute. Hwang Hee-chan walked out but could no longer play and was replaced by Jean-Richne Bellegard and left the stadium. 토토사이트
Immediately after, Brentford had the perfect opportunity. The shooting angle was opened, beating both the goalkeeper and the defense. However, Mupay's left-footed shot flew into the stands, not to the goalpost. After that, Wolverhampton's lead ended the first half.
