The K-League, where all regular league schedules have ended, will gather in one place to determine the players who showed the best performance this year.
The Korea Professional Football Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Federation) will hold an award ceremony for Hana Bank’s K League 2024 at the Seodaemun Swiss Grand Hotel in Seoul on the 29th.
Earlier on the 18th, the Federation held a K-League Individual Award Selection Committee to select three times the candidates for this season’s K-League 1 and 2 Best Coach Awards, MVP Awards, Young Player Awards and Best Eleven categories.
The candidate selection committee consisted of experts who watched many games at the K-League site this season, including members of the Federation’s Technical Committee (TSG), reporters, and commentators.
Cho Hyun-woo of Ulsan HD, Yang Min-hyuk of Gangwon FC, and Andersson of Suwon FC were selected as candidates for this season’s K League 1 MVP, which is receiving the most attention.
All three players had their best performances this season. Cho Hyun-woo, the Korean national soccer team and Ulsan’s goalkeeper, was the No. 1 contributor to the team’s third consecutive victory this season. Ulsan, which previously challenged a new dynasty after winning two consecutive titles in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, and Cho remained steadfast in his team’s last stand despite unexpected managerial changes and players’ sluggishness.
He has always shown solid defense despite his team’s crisis and has not easily given up a point. He played in 38 matches and recorded 14 scoreless matches in this season. He ranks second after Kim Joon-hong (Jeonbuk Hyundai), who has given no point in 32 matches and 15 matches, but is the only player in the goalkeeper position.
Second place Gangwon’s “high school super rookie” Yang Min-hyuk wants to relieve the sadness of being the runner-up. This season was the core of Gangwon’s rising trend, attracting a lot of attention from Yang Min-hyuk, who was born in 2006, his debut season. He was loved by Gangwon’s fans with his bold and bold appearance that was not like a high school student.
In his first K-League season, Yang has 12 goals and six assists in all matches, tying for fifth in scoring and fourth in assists. He has 18 offensive intros, followed by Andersson (20), Ilyuchenko, Cesinha and Lee Sang-hun (19).
After this season, he leaves Gangwon for the Premier League. Attention is focusing on whether the Super Rookie, who led the K-League’s box office with the best performance with his debut, will be the main character at the end.
Suwon FC’s Andersson is regarded as the best foreign striker of the season. He has led Suwon FC as a sensation, playing all the second line and the front line striker position. Although Suwon FC seemed somewhat subdued due to Kangwon’s rise, the team competed to stay until last season.
After Kim Eun-joong’s inauguration, he faced a steep rise, unexpectedly breaking everyone’s expectations and making it to the Final A. Andersson’s performance is one of the best. While other foreign strikers focused on solving the problem, Andersson showed selflessness and led the team’s offense but also energized it.
In the first half of the season, he played with Lee Seung-woo and Jung Seung-won as a “sharp ball triangle squad,” and even after Lee Seung-woo transferred, he struggled in the team and did his part. This season, Andersson scored seven goals and 13 assists, which is somewhat lower in the score ranking, but ranked first in assists, and at the same time, he is also in the lead with 20 offensive points. 바카라사이트
It is the MVP category of the K-League, which has a prominent candidate. With Kim Young-kwon (Ulsan) receiving the award last year, attention is being paid to whether Cho Hyun-woo will be honored again with Ulsan, Yang Min-hyuk will redeem Gangwon’s runner-up with the MVP award, and top foreign striker Andersson will give Suwon FC a new honor.
