I went home silent, but I still do what I have to do.
Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who had a difficult season due to injury, has returned home. He waited on the bench for the final match against Brentford in the 38th round of the 2024-25 English Premier League at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, on the morning of the 26th (Korea time), but he did not get a chance in the end. The team drew 1-1 and finished the season one place higher than Tottenham in 16th place.
Right now, striker Matheus Cunha, Hwang Hee-chan's best friend, is definitely going to Manchester United. After the end of the match against Brentford, he remained alone on the ground and greeted his fans until the end, effectively holding a farewell ceremony.
Hwang Hee-chan spent the season between heaven and hell. During the 2023-24 season, he scored 12 goals and three assists in 29 league games, scoring a double-digit goal that was easy to do in the Premier League.
This season, however, was full of regrets. The team itself was in the midst of playing against top teams including Arsenal, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, and Newcastle United in the early stages.
The team scored a goal in the second leg of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup in Oman in September last year, and seemed likely to lead the team to a 3-1 victory, but it was not easy. The team itself was bad. His schedule continued to include Aston Villa and Liverpool. Wolverhampton was so unlucky that he secured qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League and Europa League in all six matches he met earlier. They had two draws and four losses, which led to a crisis of Gary O'Neill, who was considering Hwang Hee-chan.
To make matters worse, Hwang Hee-chan injured his ankle in the third away match against Jordan in October. The breakaway at a critical time led to Wolverhampton's loss of power. While missing four games, Wolverhampton had one win, two draws, and one loss, making it his first league win against Southampton in the 11th round.
However, nothing improved. It was not Hwang Hee-chan's problem, but his team's strength did not improve, and when he lost four consecutive games from Bournemouth in the 13th round to Ipswich in the 16th round, O'Neill was replaced and Vitor Pereira from Portugal took over.
Under Pereira, Hwang scored in two of the first matches. It was against Manchester United in the 18th round and Tottenham Hotspur in the 19th round. Pereira also showed satisfaction and hinted at continued mediation.
However, he suffered another injury. It was his hamstring problem. He complained of discomfort to Pereira. In the process, it was known in Korea that Hwang Hee-chan expressed his dissatisfaction with Pereira due to the mistranslation of foreign media. Hwang Hee-chan became a bad person.
Though Hwang recovered, his time on the bench became longer. He played for 10 minutes at the most. Nevertheless, Hwang did not forget his fans visiting him. In the final home game against Brentford, he reportedly prepared snacks for the fans and handed them out. He did not forget his kind response by giving autographs to fans who always come to watch. 바카라
There are many rumors about his transfer right now, but he forgets about it for a while and focuses on volunteering. He asked for a short interview with a staff on his way back to Korea via London on Tuesday, but politely declined. This part shows his strong will to dispel regret by training more for the disappointing season.
Instead, he will meet with fans in Bucheon on Saturday and play soccer as he did last year. Hwang Hee-chan's determination is to continue his social contribution activities that he has been steadily doing. In particular, he will not forget soccer clinics targeting youth. He will also briefly announce how he felt about finishing the season on the day. He will then join the A-team league, play away matches in Iraq and home matches in Kuwait, before ending the season.
