Trio of ‘Oh, Hyun, Kyu’ Checked Homework, What’s Remaining Proves Potential

Yang Hyun-joon and Kwon Hyuk-kyu , who wore Scottish Premiership Celtic FC uniforms, played their first pre-season game side by side. It means that he played against European players five days after joining the team, even though it was a friendly match, it was his debut match where he could check his homework.

Yang Hyun-joon and Kwon Hyuk-kyu were substituted for about 30 minutes in the 16th minute of the second half of the preseason friendly against Wolverhampton (England) at Abiba Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, on the 29th (Korea Standard Time).

Yang Hyeon-jun was deployed as a right wing forward as in the K-League 1 Gangwon FC days, and showed active movement. He received a pass from Kwon Hyeok-gyu two minutes after putting it in, then drove the ball inside and attempted a bold left-footed mid-range shot. He also took on corner kicks and handled kicks. Kwon Hyuk-kyu was placed in the third line and took on the role of protecting the defense. His role was to stably carry the ball to the side when attacking.

Wolverhampton was dragged by Celtic that day. However, as an English Premier League (EPL) club, the ability of each player was outstanding. In particular, in the 33rd minute of the second half, after Yang Hyeon-joon made a pass miss, he immediately joined the defense, but he was pushed back in a physical fight while stopping Matheus Cunha (Portugal) and even fell down. Kwon Hyuk-gyu also failed to defend in the process of blocking Wolverhampton’s attack and committed a dangerous foul.

After that, the two players performed well. Celtic conceded after goalkeeper Joe Hart conceded a penalty, and the game ended in a 1–1 draw.

After the game, Celtic manager Brandon Rodgers looked back in an interview with local media, saying, “I gave away too many balls in the last 25 minutes because the rhythm was broken when I made changes.”

Although it was a short time, it was a time for both Hyunjun Yang and Hyukkyu Kwon to check their homework. The same was true of Oh Hyeon-gyu, who did not leave a big impression after being put in for the 25th minute of the second half.

Lee Seung-woo, who participated in a team K-League media interview on the 27th, said, “If you can go, it’s right to go at that age. It is an opportunity for players to grow.” The next step for those who challenged the European stage early is to prove their potential by achieving growth.

On the other hand, even Hwang Hee-chan was substituted for the match, and four Korean players competed in the European stage for about 20 minutes in the second half.

Celtic will play the last friendly game against Athletic Bilbao (Spain) on the 2nd of next month, and start the league race immediately on the 5th.
