The Coupang Play Series, which will heat up the midsummer night, is back. With Son Heung-min’s showdown with Tottenham Hotspur, there are two players selected for the team’s K-League with impressive performances this season.
Team K League and Tottenham Hotspur will clash in the first round of the 2024 Coupang Play Series at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 31st. Tottenham entered Korea after a pre-season tour with Vissel Kobe in Japan on the 27th (local time) and is in the midst of tempering the 2024/25 season.
Starting with captain Son Heung-min, James Medicine, Dejan Klusevski, Bissouma, and Pedro Porro have entered Korea, and the list of team K-League is also spectacular. Starting with Yang Min-hyuk (Gangwon), who recently confirmed his transfer to Tottenham, Lee Seung-woo (Jeonbuk), Joo Min-gyu, Lee Myung-jae, Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan), Yoon Do-young (Daejeon), and Lee Il-chenko (FC Seoul) who have been showing crazy performances this season were listed.
They are Pohang Steelers’ flanker Jung Jae-hee and Gangwon FC’s all-round defender Hwang Moon-ki. The two were honored to be selected for the first time in the K-League due to their strong performances in their teams this season.
Jung Jae-hee, who has eight goals and two assists in 23 games this season, has been at the heart of Pohang’s offense. Although he played relatively little time in the game itself as he was mainly substituted, he has done his part more than 100% whenever he enters the ground, fueling his team’s rise.
After his debut, Jung Jae-hee, who mainly played in K League 2 through Anyang and Jeonnam, joined Pohang in the 2022 season and began to make his name known in earnest. Jung Jae-hee, who uses fast feet as his main weapon, is a player whose strength is to dig into the opponent’s back space. His multi-facility and soccer sense, which can even play the right defense depending on the time, should be noted in the future of the national team.
Hwang Mun-ki of Gangwon Province is also one of the most important resources in this K-League. Hwang, who originally played the role of midfielder, successfully transformed himself into a right-back under the leadership of Yoon Jeong-hwan, who was assigned to the team midway through last year.
He showed a somewhat disappointing performance after changing his position last year, but he completely exploded his skills this season. Although it is not fast, the ball guard and rationing ability of a former midfielder are considered the biggest strengths. 토토사이트
Having played in all league matches this season, Hwang has been displaying overwhelming performance by scoring one goal and five assists. Thanks to Hwang’s performance, Gangwon is ranking second in the league with 44 points based on the league’s most goals scored (46). Gangwon, which is challenging to win its first league title in the club’s history, is in full bloom thanks to the stellar performances of Yang Min-hyuk and Hwang Mun-ki.
Their performances can be viewed for at least 45 minutes. “As they represent the K-League, we will prepare well and allocate time for them,” said Park Tae-ha, head coach of Pohang University of Science and Technology (K-League). “Most players will play for about 45 minutes, and three to four players will likely be given less time. We are preparing mainly for domestic players in the first half and foreign players in the second half.”
It is the “2024 Coupang Play Series,” in which a large number of domestic and foreign star players are dispatched. Let’s watch Jung Jae-hee and Hwang Moon-ki, who are shining this season, with interest.
