'Ukka'The reporter must be in any country or league.

Hwang In-beom quickly expanded his presence by moving from Tsurvena Zvezda to Feyenoord last summer and winning the club's Player of the Month in September.

Valentin Drissen, a member of the Dutch daily 'de Telegraph', appeared on the 'kick-off podcast' on the 7th (local time) and looked back on the Eredivisie 7th round match between Feyenoord and Tvente in the 2024-2025 season at Stadion Feyenoord in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on the 6th, a day before.

Drissen, who visited the stadium with Marcel van de Kran, a reporter from the same company, said to Van de Kran "I was playing." 'If I were a soccer player, I would have kicked Hwang In-beom to death. If it was a teammate, I would have kicked it'"

Drissen continued "Hwang sends the pass sideways or backward every time. After 15 seconds 'Great Strategist'Hwang In-beom connected the pass to Hugo Bueno and the goal was made. Van de Kran said it was my 'tragedy', but for the rest of the time he only sent the pass to the side and back" he insisted.

After being involved in Ayase Ueda's first goal in the 28th minute of the first half, Hwang In-beom scored an additional goal with a left-footed mid-range shot that stabbed the bottom right of the goal from the left diagonal point outside the opponent's penalty area in the 43rd minute. The moment he scored Feyenoord's debut goal in three league games.

Hwang In-beom has expanded his position quickly enough to receive the player of the month award in September by the club, and has been recognized by experts and colleagues, but he has exceptionally worked hard to highlight only the bad side of Hwang In-beom as much as Drissen.

Drissen was also not very impressed with Hwang In-beom's debut goal. There is no need to praise it." Feyenoord won 2-1 with Hwang In-beom's goal to move to sixth place with 13 points.

The comment section on the website of the Dutch media 'Wöttbal Premiere', which introduced Drissen's remarks, was plastered with comments criticizing Drissen's out-of-the-box shot. "Drissen doesn't know anything", "Oh, Drissen always watches the game in a different way from the rest of the world", "De Telegraff's speciality".

Meanwhile, legendary Dutch midfielder and Feyenoord legend Billum van Hanneham (80) said Hwang In-beom, who scored his debut goal in the Netherlands' Eredivisie against Tvente on the 7th, was the only Feyenoord player who shone in the match. He said "I like Hwang In-beom the most (of Feyenoord players). His weak-footed goal today was a moment that made him believe he could make the team better in the future."

His teammate, defender David Hantzko, visited Hwang In-beom's personal SNS post thanking his fans and commented on the new nickname and crown emoticon 'Boooem'. It is a combination of the English words 'Boom' and Hwang In-beom's 'Beom'.

The same team's fullback Jordan Rotomba called "Crack", and fullback Hugo Bueno called "Maestro". You can see how much Hwang In-beom is recognized by his teammates.
