Feyenoord won 2-0 at home in the sixth round of the Eredivisie against NAC Breda in the 2024-25 season at Stadion Feyenoord in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on the 22nd (Korea time). It was easy to win with Ayase Ueda’s first goal in the 34th minute of the first half and an additional penalty for Kvinton Maduro in the 29th minute of the second half. Feyenoord, who added three points, jumped to fifth place in the league with two wins, three draws and nine points.

Hwang, who joined Feyenoord this summer, made his league debut through this match. Hwang, who previously received favorable reviews by making his official debut in the UEFA Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen, drew rave reviews after playing full-time again this time.

Hwang In-beom poked a perfect penetrating pass to Ibrahim Osman in the fourth minute of the first half. Osman connected to Antony Milambo, who even hit a shot, but was blocked by defense and could not score. Two minutes later, Quinten Timber had a chance to shoot from outside the box.

When his team was leading 1-0, Hwang even scored in the 43rd minute. Hwang In-beom, who got a pass from Osman, hit a bold mid-range shot from a long distance. However, he failed to score a debut goal as he slightly missed the goal.

Hwang also aimed to score in the second half by hitting a mid-range shot at the start. He provided Ueda with a shot opportunity in the fourth minute of the second half. He allowed Timber a pass at the 27th minute of the second half, and Timber’s shot hit the opponent’s hand, which declared a penalty. Timber finished the match himself and scored an additional goal.

According to the soccer statistics media Footmob, Hwang received an 8.3 point rating with three key passes, an 82 percent pass success rate, four shots, two effective shots, a 100 percent tackle success rate, and one cross and one long pass. This was just 0.1 point behind Timber (8.4), who scored an additional penalty kick goal and received the highest rating.

Coach Brian Friske praised Hwang In-beom, who made a great debut in the Champions League, as he also performed well in his league debut.

According to Dutch media NU, Friske said, “Hwang In-beom is 28, has become a father recently, and he already has a lot of experience overseas. He is a very strong player and is smart when he needs to catch or pass a ball. He was the player we needed.”

He then mentioned Pirlo, who played as a world-class midfielder for AC Milan and Juventus. On naming Hwang as No. 6, Friske said, “As an attacking team, I wanted a player with offensive qualities. Andrea Pirlo was the same player, and Hwang In-beom is the same player,” adding, “I saw some players who were not satisfied with 2-0. That’s a good sign. I hope he keeps going.”

His teammate David Hantzko also welcomed Hwang with open arms. Hantzko said, “Forty percent of our roster is new. Due to these changes, our team has lost stability. We are rebuilding with new players. It will take time,” and applauded him, saying, “It’s a pity that Hwang did not play earlier. He is a player who can make room and move back and forth for defense.”

According to another media outlet fr12, Moroccan Karim El-Amadi, who played for Feyenoord in the past, also compared Hwang to Japanese legend Shinji Ono. Ono played for Feyenoord from 2001 to 2005 as Japan’s main midfielder in the 2000s.메이저놀이터

“The only positive thing about this team is that we now have Hwang In-beom who is quite good,” El-Amadi said. “I think he is a very good player. I once had a match with him in a friendly match with Korea. He was amazing back then,” he said, recalling the past when he faced off in person.

“I played for the defense, turned the ball left and right, and carefully monitored the surroundings. He was the perfect midfielder. I’m cautious but it reminds me of Shinji Ono,” Hwang said. “I can play with both feet. He also has good tackle ability. Hwang also showed good performance in the match against Leverkusen. Hwang is an important player who will bring about changes in Feyenoord.”

“I can tell that Hwang is an experienced player. I played with Moroccan players that I know of at the Olympiacos. They immediately told me that Hwang was a really good player,” Hwang said, stressing that he was an outstanding player even during his time at the Olympiacos in Greece.
