Real Madrid native Hesse Rodriguez is likely to play against Gwangju FC.
Johor Darlle Takjim will face Gwangju FC in the third round of the AFC Champions League (ACL) Elite League Stage in the 2024-2025 season, which will take place at Mir Stadium in Yongin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Johor is ranking second with one win and one draw (four points), while Gwangju is ranking first with two wins (six points).
Johor is Malaysia’s leading powerhouse. Since its foundation in 2013, Johor has won the league title for 10 consecutive years. He has won trophies four and three times in the Malaysian Cup and the FA Cup, respectively.
Last season, he had 25 matches and one draw in the league, winning the title without a loss, and made it to the ACLE finals as a league champion. He is leading the league with 10 wins and one draw this season as well.
The mood is not bad at the ACLE. Johor tied the match 2-2 at an away match against Shanghai Haigang, the first match. In the second round, he beat Shanghai Shenhua 3-0 completely.
What attracts my attention the most is Real Madrid star Hesse. Hesse grew up with Real Madrid’s youth team and made his debut in the top team during the 2011-12 season. In the 2013-14 season, he scored eight goals and six assists in 31 matches, recognizing his potential. 토토사이트
However, due to overlapping injuries, he failed to perform clearly. He joined Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the 2016-17 season, but he did not show much performance. Since then, he has gone through Las Palmas, Stoke City, Real Betis, and Sporting, but there has been no reversal.
He signed a six-month short-term contract with Brazilian second-division player Coritiba last season, but his contract ended after only one goal in six games. Hesse, who became a free agent, joined Johor in October.
There is a chance that Hesse will play against Gwangju. “He is professional and in good condition. He is highly likely to play in tomorrow’s game,” coach Johor Héctor Vidoglio said ahead of the match.
