Hwang Ui-jo @ Girondins de Bordeaux 2019-2020 [R]

One-off marketing exercise. I guess if enough Korean fans buy the merchandise they might do it again.

 

Tied for 6 in Ligue 1 in goals with 3 and has 2 assists. Not bad for someone transitioning to one of the top leagues in the world

 

How can you be tied for 6 when you have 17 players who has scored 4 or more goals in Ligue 1?

Ass-licking is good for marketing.

More importantly, it worked very well . The korean sports news outlets were going on and on about Bordeaux playing with Korean jerseys for the whole week.

Apparently, some clubs in Germany and Spain are interested in Hwang. Btw this article is hilarious, saying Hwang is probably more popular in Korea than Son.

 

...gotta b that "korean shirt" thing

 

Yes and a Korean guy from HUJ's fanclub said Hwang is better than Son (lol). It did not go unnoticed apparently.
I wouldn't be surprised that in this Fanclub some of these guys insulted Hwang when he was chosen instead of Suk at the AG back then

his movements have always been good

 

Out at 70'. Pretty poor today, especially his off-the-ball movement and first touch.

It's official. Bordeaux has to wear Korean-labelled uniforms for the whole season so Hwang will play well like he did against Nantes.

 

Not even on the bench because he's slightly injured. Sousa gives him some rest.

 

Up to 3rd position on the table.

3rd straight game on the bench

 

He's tired, he gets some rest. Sure, Paulo Sousa still trusts him.

He will miss 3 weeks due to military duties in Korea.

 

great, just when things are heating up vs the Norks...

 

Is he back yet?

 

Not in the squad in the cup.

 

He was supposed to miss the cup match as well
