Yang Min-hyuk (Gangwon FC), the 18-year-old young gun, is evolving again before entering the big league. After overcoming a temporary slump last summer, he is reviving his team’s hope to come from behind to win the K League 1 title.
Yang Min-hyuk led his team’s 1-0 victory by hitting the final shot with his right foot in the 18th minute of the second half in a home game against Gimcheon Sangmu in the 35th round of the K League 1 at Gangneung Stadium on the 26th.
Gangwon ranked second with 61 points, widening the gap between the third-ranked Gimcheon (57 points) and the third-ranked team to four. Having grabbed three consecutive wins in the league, Gangwon is aiming for the first win in the history of K-League teams. It is four points behind Ulsan HD (65 points), the first team to win in the 35th round match on Nov. 1, and if it wins the match, it will narrow the gap to one point again.
Gangwon’s exciting move is in line with Yang Min-hyuk’s rise. Writing the “high school student myth” this season, he confirmed his joining of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League last summer, and also joined his first A-team, boosting his stock price. Although he failed to make his A-match debut, he proved to be the best next generation.
However, the team faltered in the league at that time, perhaps due to too much attention. In the first half of the year, Yoon’s fast judgment and challenging shots from the door became less decisive. However, Yoon trusted and consistently used the team. 메이저놀이터
Yang scored a goal for the first time in more than two months in a match against the Pohang Steelers on June 22. He scored his 10th goal in the league on June 6 and then scored his 11th goal on the day. Just by looking at the scoring scene, he seems to be on track. In the 18th minute of the second half, he connected a ball that flowed in front of the penalty box with an accurate non-stop shot with his right foot to break the goal. If he is not confident, he cannot try the shot.
Few players evolve in their teens by overcoming the burden of checking and paying attention to senior defenders. Yang Min-hyuk shows off his special talent and proves why Tottenham chose him. Manager Yoon said, “Min-hyuk has become more mature. He is basically young, but he has a very good understanding of tactics. This is the power to overcome and overcome difficulties on his own.”
