I gave my thoughts on the difficult season.
Korea's national soccer team led by Coach Hong Myung-bo defeated Kuwait 4-0 at 8 p.m. on Tuesday in the 10th match of the third Asian qualifying round for the FIFA 2026 World Cup in North China and the U.S. The team concluded the third qualifying round with six wins and four draws (22 points).
Hwang Hee-chan of Wolverhampton Wanderers started the match on the bench. He then made active moves after being substituted at the end of the second half, helping his team win.
After the match, Hwang Hee-chan, who met in the joint coverage area (Mix Zone), was asked about playing wingback first. Coach Hong Myung-bo, who has already confirmed his qualification for the World Cup finals, has tried various experiments against Kuwait, which has been in full strength a few times. In particular, after replacing Hwang Hee-chan, he conducted an unconventional experiment by using him as a wingback, not as a flanker.
In response, Hwang Hee-chan said, "Today was a game to experiment. There are many cases where you don't know what kind of situations will come out in the World Cup, and there are moments when you have to be aggressive, so I think you put in as many strikers as possible. At the same time, I also tried to create many options to attack a little more from the bottom," he said, expressing his feelings about the game.
Asked how it felt to be a veteran in the national team, he said, "I think I have experience after (Son) Heung-min or (Lee) Jae-sung, but I talk a lot with them over time. Some say, 'Time really flies.' Anyway, as I have more younger brothers, I think I have to take responsibility to show good performance in the stadium. So, I talk a lot with my younger brothers and tell them our experiences in the stadium so that we can adapt to the idea that we are a team and play well. As a result, I think I brought good results in this A-match in June."
He also opened his mouth about Lee Kang-in's remarks. Before the start of the mixed zone coverage, Lee Kang-in, who attended the official press conference as he was selected as a player for the game, drew attention with his determined remarks, "I hope you will send a lot of support instead of criticism toward the coach and the association."
And Hwang Hee-chan, who was asked the question, said, "I hope we become one with the fans. First of all, there was a positive atmosphere and there were changes, but there are other games waiting in the World Cup. There are stronger opponents. So we have to show good performances first, but I think we came out better when we became one with the fans. So, the World Cup is a big festival, so of course, we will prepare with the best performance, but if you support us as one, we will be able to show a better performance."
He also talked about his team's situation. Hwang Hee-chan had a hard time last season when he was excluded from the starting lineup for Wolverhampton. His regret was even greater as he was the starting lineup for Wolverhampton until just 2023-24 season.
When Hwang Hee-chan was asked about what his team needed to supplement personally, he said, "First of all, the season has just ended, so I want to take a little break. I think it's important to take time to improve again and see what parts were lacking. There are many situations in which the coach can change and there are strong competitors in the same position, and injuries. I think it's important to make good use of those parts. Whether I leave Wolverhampton or not, I think it's the most important to develop my personal performance." 먹튀검증
Finally, when asked if there would be a change in his future course due to his reduced playing time at Wolverhampton, he said, "First of all, I really want to play so honestly. I've been doing well so far, and of course, I want to play. If I can stay at Wolverhampton and play, of course, it's a priority to remain, but if not, I'm also considering such an environment to play," hinting at the possibility of a transfer. "As I just said, it's been a really long season, and it's a time when I want to recover a little more, so I'll take a break and think a little more about what I'll do in the future."
