Wolverhampton in the 2024-2025 season needs Hwang Hee-chan in the 2023-2024 season.
Wolverhampton drew 2-2 in the 10th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season against Crystal Palace at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England on the 3rd (Korea time). Again, Wolverhampton failed to win, finishing bottom of the league with three points.
Prior to the season, Wolverhampton was not considered a relegation power. But now the shadow of relegation is coming. There are few positives left for Wolverhampton, except that the difficulty of the schedule so far has been the most difficult for Wolverhampton in the league.
According to the prediction probability of the ranking of the soccer statistics media OPTA after 10 rounds of the EPL, Wolverhampton's relegation probability exceeded 50% and reached 51.6%. It is the highest after Ipswich Town, ranked 18th, and Southampton, ranked 19th.
Wolverhampton's biggest problem at the moment is defense. He lost 27 runs in 10 league games. It is close to three goals per game. It is also quite a big gap with Ipswich Town, which is second in the league with 21 runs in 10 games. The only scoreless game since the opening of the season is against Burnley, the English Championship (minor league) team, in the Carabao Cup. If you lose in the league, you're giving up at least two runs.
If you don't improve your defense, you should eventually break through the shield with a spear. From this perspective, the element Wolverhampton can strengthen is Hwang Hee-chan, who can soon return from injury. Hwang Hee-chan became Wolverhampton's ace as he scored 12 league goals last season and showed his best performance after moving to the EPL. Wolverhampton also raised the treatment further by promising a future with Hwang Hee-chan.
However, this season, Hwang Hee-chan is having a difficult season due to disharmony with new tactics, poor performance, and injuries. Coincidentally, Wolverhampton is really having a hard time as Hwang Hee-chan is sluggish. Only when Hwang Hee-chan survives will Wolverhampton be able to run again.
Hwang Hee-chan is expected to return to full strength soon. Hwang Hee-chan, who collapsed due to Jordan's murder tackle in the A-match in October, was fortunate to have no serious injury during the misfortune. Hwang Hee-chan is expected to be able to play soon because he was expected to return for about three weeks.
After Hwang Hee-chan's return, Wolverhampton should quickly create an element of rebound. Hwang Hee-chan is believed to have joined the team's current power. Hong Myung-bo, head coach of the South Korean national soccer team, said of Hwang Hee-chan's condition, `I heard that he joined the team earlier than I thought. I heard that he is recovering at a rapid pace."
