[스포츠서울 김용일기자] Like Son Heung-min 9 years ago.
Jung Woo-young (22), who plays for Freiburg in the Bundesliga, Germany, jumped off with a wonder goal that sunk the league’s prestigious Borussia Dortmund. Jung Woo-young started as a side striker in the home game against Dortmund in the 20th round of the regular league in the 2020-2021 season, which ended at the Schwarzwald Stadium in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, on the morning of the 7th (Korean time). Burst.
Jung Woo-young, who caught the eye with a witty breakthrough, a pass, and efficient pressure from the first half, took the lead in breaking the ‘0 balance’ in the second half of the 4th minute. After receiving a pass from Vincenzo Griffo, he scored the opening goal with a fierce left footed medium-range gun in front of the penalty box. After leaving Jung Woo-young’s feet, the ball flew like a missile and shot the goal to the left of Dortmund. Goalkeeper Marvin Hits threw himself, but was helpless. Jung Woo-young tasted the goal and scored the third goal in the season after only two games after round 18 with Stuttgart held on the 23rd of last month. He was reborn as a new year’s starting agent by being named in the starting line for three consecutive games in recent years, showing off the value of existence against Big Club Dortmund, foretelling his era.
In the summer of 2017 when Jung Woo-young was attending Daegeon High, the Incheon United Youth Team, he signed a four-year and six-month contract with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga’first quarter’. After joining the U-19 team, he was recognized for his potential and raised the stock price by making his first team debut in the European Champions League the following year when he was 19 years old. After not having a chance to play in the star-lined Bayern Munich, he moved to Freiburg in the 2019-2020 season. However, it was still called’Unfinished Waiting’ and played mostly in the 2nd group, but before the opening of this season, he showed prominence from the pre-season and joined the 1st group. Coach Christian Streich used Jung Woo-young as the Joker in the early stages, but recently he has been assigned the main striker mission. It’s perfectly melted by scoring two goals in the new year.
The scoring against Dortmund is expected to serve as a catalyst for Jung Woo-young’s rebirth. ‘Role model’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who debuted in the Bundesliga in her teens like herself, also scored a multi-goal against Dortmund on September 22, 2012, the third season of their first group debut after adaptation. Afterwards, Son Heung-min showed a strong side only when he met Dortmund, and had the nickname of’beekeeper’. In particular, he scored 12 league goals this season and scored double-digit goals in his European career for the first time since his debut.
On December 12 last year, Jung Woo-young scored his first-team debut goal against Bielefeld. At the time, it caught the eye with a chip shot passing the goalkeeper’s key, but it was a scene similar to Son Heung-min’s debut goal in the Bundesliga, so it received more attention. In fact, Son Heung-min scored his debut goal at the age of 18 with the touch of the ball to pass the goalkeeper’s key against FC Cologne on October 30, 2010. ‘Similar debut goal’ followed by the sinking of Dortmund. It became a concern whether Jung Woo-young, who uses similar moves as role models, will continue this momentum.
On this day, Jung Woo-young served as the starting point with an exquisite hill pass not only in the opening goal but also in the winning goal of Yonatan Schmidt in the 6th minute in the second half. Freiburg succeeded in capturing Dortmund after 10 years and 9 months after May 2010, with Jung Woo-young’s performance ahead. With 8 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses (30 points), Freiburg rose to 8th place in the league. We reduced the gap between 6th place Dortmund and 7th place Monchengladbach (over 32 points) to 2 points.
