Director Jean-Louis Gassé Bordeaux praised Hwang Eui-jo (29), who is making a big success in the front line and the side.
In an interview with French media Blue Gironde on the 18th (hereafter local time), Gase said, “Hwang Ui-jo is like a Swiss army knife.” It gives me strength,” he praised.
The Swiss army knife, expressed by Gase, is a multi-purpose knife called’MacGyver’ in Korea. This is a suitable expression for Hwang Eui-jo, who is making a big success while moving from the front and the side this season.
Hwang Eui-jo was pushed out of the competition at the beginning of this season, so he couldn’t get a lot of opportunities to participate. Because of this, he couldn’t use his skills properly, and he only helped.
However, it has changed since last December. Hwang Ui-jo, who started each game after scoring a goal against Saint-Etienne on the 16th of last month, is leading the team attack with 3 goals and 1 help in 6 games. Bordeaux is showing a good trend with 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 6 games in which Hwang Eui-jo started.
In particular, Hwang Eui-jo faithfully fulfilled his role not only as a front-line striker but also as a flanking winger, and now he has established himself as a leading battlefield.
On the 24th, Hwang Eui-jo will challenge Angers to score the fourth in the league with two consecutive goals.
