Yang Min-hyuk has a cut on his face.
Gangwon FC came from behind to beat Gimcheon Sangmu 2-1 in the 26th round of “Hana Bank K League 1 2024” held at Gimcheon Sports Complex at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. With the win, Gangwon ranked No. 1 in the league with 14 wins, five draws and seven losses (47 points), and Gimcheon fell to second place with 13 wins, seven draws and six losses (46 points). For the first time in the team’s history, Gangwon secured a win over Gimcheon.
Gangwon pulled out a 4-4-2 formation. Lee Sang-hun, Kovacevich, Yoo In-soo, Kim Dong-hyun, Lee Yoo-hyun, Yang Min-hyuk, Lee Ki-hyuk, Kim Young-bin, Kang Tu-ji, Hwang Moon-ki, and Lee Kwang-yeon came forward.
Gimcheon launched a 4-3-3 formation. Kim Dae-won, Yoo Kang-hyun, Mo Jae-hyun, Seo Min-woo, Park Sang-hyuk, Kim Bong-soo, Park Soo-il, Park Chan-yong, Park Seung-wook, Kim Kang-san, and Kim Dong-heon started.
On the day, Gangwon gave up its lead by dedicating the first run to Kim Dae-won (Kim Young-bin’s own goal) at the 35th minute of the first half. However, with multiple goals scored in extra time in the first half and more than 20 minutes in the second half, the team came from behind to win 2-1.
Yang Min-hyuk collapsed during the match. In the 34th minute of the first half, Yang Min-hyuk collapsed during a competition with his opponent. He couldn’t get up for a long time. Eventually, even medical staff were deployed. Yang Min-hyuk, who stood up after some time, had a red cut on his right face. Immediately after the end of the first half, he was replaced by Kim Kyung-min and left the ground.
“I told him that I got hit on the face by soccer boots,” coach Yoon Jeong-hwan said after the game. “I didn’t just replace him because of his face, but because the team is more important before it becomes a big problem because he has something wrong with his body. I think we need to watch the situation. I think we need to check it out.” Yang also had a scar on his right side when he passed the mixed zone after the game.
Yang, who made his debut as a “high school winger,” made his professional debut this season. Yang immediately got the chance to start the opening game as he captured Yoon Jeong-hwan’s heart during the last winter training session. He did not miss the opportunity that he was given. Yang started making his name known by scoring his debut goal in the K-League against Gwangju FC in the second round.
He is considered one of the leading players in Gangwon Province. As a left winger, Yang penetrated to the center and displayed robust penetration and linkage to energize his team’s offense. He has already surpassed double-digit attack points by scoring eight goals and five assists. 메이저사이트
His performance drew attention from Tottenham Hotspur, and he even signed a contract. Yang Min-hyuk signed on the condition that he will head to Tottenham at the end of this season. He also played in the team K League vs. Tottenham on April 31 and met “Tottenham seniors” for the first time.
After the showdown with Tottenham, Yang said, “I felt (Tottenham) is definitely different. I felt that I am not good enough yet. I feel that (Son Heung-min) is really good once again. I also felt that I need to get to that level quickly.”
However, there are many things to overcome. First of all, he should focus on his current team, Gangwon. Yang failed to show any significant performance as his breakthrough continued to be read by Kim Kang-san. He posted one assist right before the end of the first half, but was replaced with a regret.
