[스포탈코리아] Correspondent Dong-eon Dong = Hee-chan Hwang and Kaoru Mitoma, side strikers representing Korea and Japan, will face off.
On the 19th (Korean time), the 2023-2024 Premier League (PL) round 2 will be held. At Molyneux Stadium, the home stadium of Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolverhampton), the ‘Bull’ Hee-chan Hwang’s Wolverhampton and ‘Red Horse’ Kaoru Mitoma’s Brighton & Hove Albion (Brighton) ‘mini Korea-Japan match’ will be held. Will Hwang Hee-chan of Wolverhampton, who has to prove his worth in the face of a new manager, be able to get the attention of coach Gary O’Neill against Mitoma’s Brighton?
Wolverhampton have lost their captain and tactical nucleus, Ruben Neves, this summer. Wolverhampton and Neves, who could not refuse a large offer from Saudi Arabia, eventually made the choice to leave the team. With the transfer of Raul Jimenez, who was the team’s main striker, and Adama Traore, who tore the right side of the opposing team, to Fulham, the power of the attacking team was greatly weakened. Second-line resources such as Pedro Netu and Matheus Cunha are showing decent performance, but it is very fatal that there is no clear goalkeeper.
Head coach Hulen Lopetegui, who actively employed Hwang Hee-chan last season despite frequent injuries, was sacked just before the start of the season. Hwang Hee-chan was substituted in the 18th minute of the second half in an away game against Manchester United in the first round of the PL, which was played under the newly appointed coach O’Neill. On this day, Hwang Hee-chan showed off his bull-like breakthrough and threatening dribbles, which are his specialties. However, it was not possible to prevent the team from losing due to the opposing team’s goalkeeper Andre Onana’s saving show and the extreme goal decision problem of Wolverhampton’s strikers.
Brighton lost two midfielders who were key to their blast last season. Brighton’s midfield commander, Alexis McAllister, left for Liverpool with stable ball distribution from the back and occasional mid-range goals. Subsequently, Moises Caicedo, who supported Mac Allister and stirred the ground with a tremendous amount of activity, moved to Chelsea, breaking the PL transfer fee record. Mahmoud Dahoud is a newcomer, but he alone is not enough to fill the gap between the two.
Japanese national team winger Mitoma emerged as a rising star in the PL last season. He began to gain public attention by showing off his excellent dribbling skills to steal the tempo of the opponent’s defense. Mitoma also vomited his spirit by breaking Shinji Kagawa and Shinji Okazaki’s record for the most goals in the Japanese PL, which had previously been 6 goals. Mitoma, who played an exciting role in the archipelago, recorded 1 assist against Luton Town in the last round and continues the good performance he showed last season.
The key to victory for both teams is their ability to score goals. In the last round, he met Manchester United, a strong player in the Premier League tradition, and showed overwhelming performance. Overall shooting was also dominant at 15-23, and effective shooting was twice as high at 3-6. The expected score (XG) value was also better at 2.21-2.35, but lost 0-1 due to a goal decision problem. Brighton had a goal feast last game, scoring four goals. If you maintain your goal decision in this game, you have a high chance of winning.
Wolverhampton, who recorded two consecutive losses against Brighton in the PL last season, will be able to win with the active performance of a healthy Hwang Hee-chan. attention is drawn
