[스포츠서울 박준범기자] Hwang Eui-jo (29, Girondang Bordeaux) stands tall as the top striker on the French stage.
Hwang Eui-jo started an away game against Montpellier in the 30th round of the French League 1 in the 2020-2021 season held at Stade de la Mosson in Montpellier, France on the 22nd (Korean time) and scored the opening goal in the 28th minute of the first half. Having scored his ninth goal in the season, he was one step closer to scoring a double digit. However, Bordeaux failed to keep Hwang Ui-jo’s opening goal and scored 3 goals and lost 1-3.
Hwang Eui-jo, who scored a multi-goal in the 29th round of Dijon on the 14th, scored two goals in a row and broke the record for the highest score in a season in his League 1 season. Hwang Eui-jo, who started as the forefront striker, showed active movement from the beginning. Eventually, in the 28th minute of the first half, he received a pass from the back of Paul Weisser, trapped in the chest, and cleared the corner of the left goal with a right foot shot from inside the penalty box. Hwang Eui-jo was active in the second half and played full-time.
Hwang Eui-jo is showing a steep scoring pace in 2021. As the position of the front-line striker is guaranteed, it certainly adds a sense of stability. It looks like the unique space penetration and mid-range shooting are maximized. He scored 7 goals starting in the 20th round of Nice in January. There are also two multi-goal games. Seven goals in 2021 are the highest in the French league. The French god Cillian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain), who scored a multi-goal on the same day, is the first place with eight goals, and Hwang Eui-jo forms the second place. Jonathan David (Lil) and Amin Guiri (Nice) are standing shoulder to shoulder.
There are eight games left until the end of the league. One goal is left until double digits are scored, and Park Joo-young’s most goals on the Korean French stage (12 goals) in the 2010-2011 season will be tied by adding three goals. Moreover, Hwang Eui-jo does not go to the A match in March. It means that you will have a two-week rest period without the variables of physical strength and jet lag. Bordeaux’s next opponent is Strasbourg. It is a team two levels below Bordeaux. It is time to see if Hwang Eui-jo, who comes after taking enough rest, will score 3 consecutive goals and 10 goals after 2 seasons of entering the French stage.
