Asian Games There is No Lee Kang-in, But there is Jung Woo-young... “Hat Trick with Heungmin’s Number”
“I was really happy and honored to have Heungmin’s number, but it was also a burden.”
Striker Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart), who scored a hat trick in the first game of the Asian Games between Kuwait and Hangzhou on the 19th, played wearing number 7.
This is the number used by Son Heung-min, the star of Korean soccer, in the A national team. 바카라사이트
Hwang Seon-hong, who participated in the Hangzhou Asian Games, went to Jung Woo-young.
On the 3rd of this month, 16 days after Son Heung-min scored a hat trick in the 4th round match against Burnley in the 2023-2024 season English Professional Football Premier League (EPL), Jung Woo-young, who uses the same number, also achieved the same feat.
The national soccer team, led by coach Hwang Sun-hong, defeated Kuwait 9-0 at the Jinhua Sports Center Stadium in Zhejiang, China, on this day.
Several strikers took turns scoring goals, but the most decorated player was by far Jung Woo-young, who scored the most goals with three.
Even in the absence of Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who was selected as Hwang Seon-hong's ace, he fiercely attacked Kuwait's side from the beginning and showed his presence as another key European side.
Jung Woo-young, who started as a left-wing striker, showed his determination going into the tournament by scoring a goal in the third minute of the game.
Jung Woo-young, who also tasted a goal in the 45th minute of the first half, seemed as if two goals were not enough and completed a hat trick just 3 minutes into the second half for a 4-0 lead.
Three minutes later, he redirected the pass with a single touch from the edge of the penalty box and followed it up with a left-footed shot, aiming for the fourth goal, but the ball missed the side of the goal by a narrow margin and he had to give up.
Jung Woo-young, who met with reporters in the common reporting area after the game, said, "I felt good as a player because Heung-min was able to wear his brother's number and hit his first button well."
Jung Woo-young, who said, “I feel so good.
I think I helped the team thanks to the hat trick,” is also compared to national team striker Hwang Ui-jo (Norwich City).
This is because Hwang Ui-jo also scored a hat trick in his first game against Bahrain during the Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang five years ago.
Hwang Ui-jo played an active role as Kim Hak-beom's 'ace' and played a leading role in the championship by scoring 9 goals in 7 games.
When asked if he had the confidence to become a 'crazy player' like Hwang Ui-jo at the time, Jung Woo-young confidently answered, "Once the opportunity comes, I will focus and practice so that I can score," and "I will try again in the next game."
