Hwang Hee-chan is enjoying the best moment of his soccer career with six goals, the most in the team and the fifth in the league.
Wolverhampton, who had fallen to the relegation zone at the beginning of the season and replaced the coach, jumped to 12th place and the middle with two wins, three draws and no losses in the last five games of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season.
Hwang Hee-chan, the “Korean guy,” is definitely at the center of the great rebound. Hwang Hee-chan is enjoying the best moment of his soccer career with six goals, the most in the team and the fifth in the league.
Portuguese playmaker Pedro Neto, who boasts a perfect combination with Hwang Hee-chan, is leading the help rankings alone with seven assists. The two are responsible for about half of the team's goals (13 goals).
The partnership between the two is considered a factor in Wolverhampton's rebound. Netu assisted three of Hwang Hee-chan's six goals. Netu shakes, and Hwang Hee-chan finishes.
They are a duo that fans are paying attention to. Wolverhampton fan Dave Azopardi said on October 31 on the British public broadcaster “BBC's Fan Voice,” “Netu will assist again and Hwang Hee-chan will score again.” “The two are the best partnership since Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore in the 2019-2020 season.”
“Wolverhampton scored just three goals in the same period last season. Thirteen goals this season. It's a tremendous development. I hope Netu's injury doesn't last long,” he added. Netu injured his hamstring against Newcastle. The club hopes Netu will return within this year.
Jimenez and Traore scored 17 goals and 6 assists and 4 goals and 9 assists in the 2019-2020 season, and the team finished seventh.
Wolverhampton most recently drew 2-2 with Newcastle, and in the seventh round, they beat Manchester City at home.
Azopardi said: “Wolves are starting to take on the best teams in the league. “The team's atmosphere has improved within five weeks of O'Neill's appointment, and expectations are growing,” he said, conveying the local atmosphere.
Wolverhampton, ranked 12th, is aiming for three points in the lowest Sheffield United away match on the 5th. Sheffield is considered the “worst team” this season, with only one point without winning 10 games.
