[서울신문] Hwang Eui-jo dedicated to his first multi-goal injured colleague on the European stage

After scoring an extra goal, a ceremony holding the injured teammate’s uniform

Hwang Ui-jo (29), who led the season’s first three consecutive wins of French professional football Bordeaux with his first multi-goal in Europe, dedicated the victory to his injured teammate.

On the night of the 24th (Korean time), after scoring multi-goal in a home game against Angers in the 21st round of League Ang in the 2020-21 season, he gave the team a 2-1 victory and said, “A victory for Otabiu.”

Hwang Eui-jo, who started as a one-top striker that day, scored two goals in the 8th and 11th minutes of the first half. This is the first multi-goal scored after entering the European stage in Bordeaux uniforms last season. The first goal was an animalistic sense of snatching a ball that flows in a door-to-door hassle, and the second goal was the skill of turning the ball and defeating the opponent’s defense. Hwang Eui-jo, who scored 5 goals (2 assists) in the regular league this season, approached the 6 goals scored last season by one goal. Hwang Eui-jo mainly played as a side striker at the beginning of the season and recently came to the top and is on the rise with 5 goals and 1 help in 7 games. He is currently the top scorer in the team.

After scoring additional goals, Hwang Eui-jo also held a goal ceremony with Otabiu’s uniform. Brazilian midfielder Otabiu broke out of full force after his Achilles tendon ruptured during training last week. There is also a prospect for a long-term colon. In an interview with the club’s media after the game, Hwang Eui-jo said, “It hurts my heart that a colleague who sees more than my family was injured. I feel good to be able to win for Otabiu.”

Bordeaux jumped to 7th in the league with 32 points. Marseille in 6th place has the same points, and was behind in goal goal. Hwang Euijo said, “It will be important to continue this atmosphere in the future.” In the video released by the club, Hwang Eui-jo shared joy with his colleagues. Bordeaux colleagues gathered roundly in the locker room, knocking on the desk, celebrating their victory, and cheering, saying, “Euijo scored two goals.”
