The more important moments of Hwang Eui-jo, the stronger the crisis. The 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, which earned the splendid nickname of’God’s Jo’, started. Hwang Eui-jo was selected as a wild card in the final list announced by director Kim Hak-beom, who was the commanding tower at the time. Unlike the national team ace Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham) and Jo Hyun-woo (30, Ulsan Hyundai), who performed a save show during the 2018 Russia World Cup, Hwang Eui-jo was not active in the national team. Criticism about this was inundated as’network soccer’.

The same is true for national A team led by Paulo Bento. Hwang Eui-jo, who was selected before the evaluation of the Austrian expedition last November, played as a flanking striker, but showed a sluggish move. Aroused a lot of concern, he scored a goal against Mexico and Qatar as front-line strikers.

Hwang Eui-jo is a player who knows how to survive when he needs to survive. Bordeaux coach Gase said, “Hwang Eui-jo actively puts pressure on him, sometimes hitting it, and when he needs to play in depth. He doesn’t complain even when he’s on the side. He is an ideal player.”

Hwang Eui-jo, who has regained his most shining position with his skills, is about to break his record for the most goals (6 goals) in a European season, which he recorded in the 2019-20 season, his first season in Europe.
