Hwang Eui-jo scored his first field goal after joining FC Seoul. Na Sang-ho, his attacking partner, succeeded in scoring in four consecutive games, and the synergy between the two began to explode.
Seoul won a 3-1 victory in the 8th round of the 2023 K-League 1 2023 against Suwon Samsung at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2:00 pm on the 22nd. The first goal was scored by Na Sang-ho. Hwang Ui-jo scored the team’s second goal, and Palošević scored.
Na Sang-ho was just as delighted with Hwang Ui-jo’s goals as his own. And Hwang Eui-jo, who met the reporters in the mixed zone after the game, went into the interview with a lighter expression. The first word he uttered was ‘reassured’.
He said, “I feel relieved, but on the other hand, I think I’m a little more happy. I’m even more happy that I helped a situation where we could win. I think I need to prepare well so that I can win again.”
Before advancing to Europe, he only played for Seongnam FC, so this was the first time he participated in the ‘Super Match’ where he met Suwon in a Seoul uniform. I wondered how it felt to experience his first super match.
Hwang Eui-jo said, “First of all, so many fans came to visit us. In fact, it is rare for so many spectators to visit in the K-League. I think it will be,” he said.
Hwang Eui-jo, who joined Seoul before the start of the 2023 season, plans to play as a loaner for Seoul for about six months. Two options were given: return to Europe or stay in the country. If everything goes according to plan, I should be back in Europe in June. The Korean soccer calendar had to leave when it was only halfway through. Nevertheless, Hwang Eui-jo looks at Seoul’s ‘number one’.
“As I said when I first came to Seoul, my big goal was to create a team where this team could compete at a really high position, and after I joined, the team called Seoul could compete at a really high position. So I was able to reach that goal. Hopefully, we are in second place, but I think I will have to prepare well so that I can rise a little higher in the future, and I will have to play a lot of that role.”
“Our goal is to be number 1 on the team. Ulsan has won many victories and is moving up, but I think we are catching up enough, so the first thing is to go to a position where we can challenge for the number 1 spot again. That way, for the remaining two months I hope that the team called Seoul can really become a team that can stay at number one.” 메이저사이트
Hwang Eui-jo, who creates good synergy with Na Sang-ho on and off the pitch, is showing exemplary behavior for the team to the extent that Seoul manager Ahn Ik-soo praised him highly. He is said to be a senior who is helpful to his juniors not only in terms of performance but also in many aspects of life.
Is the experience on the European stage the secret to leading by example? Hwang Ui-jo said, “First of all, there is an experience part, and in some ways I am not young, and I have experienced a lot of things, so there are some things that come from that. How should I put honey in the game, how should I score goals like that. I think a lot about these things, but I think those things are a bit helpful,” he explained, saying that relatively more experience than younger players is helpful.
