Hwang In-beom's 'Storm 2 Help' → 4-0 victory
Seol Young-woo, who moved to Serbia's Tsurvena Zvezda, made a surprise debut. He played in the same foot with Hwang In-beom and worked together.
Zvezda secured a 4-0 victory over Textilac Ozachi in the third round of Serbia's Super Liga in the 2024-25 season at Slavko Malletin Baba Stadium in Vachkapalanka, Serbia, on the 4th. With two wins, one draw and seven points, it tied OFK Belgrade with a score, but ranked first in goal difference.
The performances of Korean duo Hwang In-beom and Seol Young-woo shone. Seol Young-woo, whose debut game was this time, played full time and helped win without losing a point. Hwang In-beom took the lead in the victory with two assists.
Zvezda stepped up in a 3-2-4-1 formation. Marco Ilich defended the goal and Seol Young-woo, Uros Spahic and Stefan Lekovic formed the defense. Gehlor Kanga and Nemanja Stoich were located in the third line, while Miusong, Mirko Ivanic, Hwang In-beom and Yegor Prucev worked together in the second line. One-top was played by Sherif Ndiaye.
Zvezda, who failed to open Textilac's goal despite dominating the first half, took the lead with Miu Song's first goal in the eighth minute of the second half. In the 18th minute of the second half, Hwang In-beom assisted Ndiaye's additional goal. Hwang In-beom crossed sharply from the right side and Ndiaye hit it with his head.
Five minutes later, Zvezda widened the score with a goal from Timi Elschnik, who was substituted. Hwang In-beom's second assist came in the 38th minute of the second half. He poked an exquisite lobbing pass to Bruno Duarte, who finished it 4-0.
Zvezda, who failed to score an additional goal in a one-sided game, took the lead with a four-goal victory.
Even though it was a faster-than-expected debut, Seol Young-woo contributed to the team's scoreless victory with a stable performance. In fact, Seol Young-woo was expected to be absent for about two to three months due to a shoulder injury. In May, he went to the operating table to treat a habitual shoulder dislocation, which was a chronic problem at the time of his affiliation with Ulsan HD.
Zvezda sought to recruit Seol even though he knew that Seol was recovering from surgery, and Seol devoted himself to rehabilitation in Serbia. Seol Young-woo, who had not played in the last two league games since the pre-season, was not expected to be able to play for the time being, but he made his debut successfully in three rounds, raising the possibility of playing as a main player.
Meanwhile, Hwang In-beom, who won the Serbian league MVP last season, proved once again why he was chosen as the MVP by posting two assists following the opening assist.
In the opening match, Hwang made an assist against FK Yedinstove. In the eighth minute of the second half, he sent a penetrating pass to Aleksandar Khatai who penetrated forward near the half-line, and Khatai finished it with a right-footed shot to give his team its third goal. It was Hwang's No. 1 point of attack from the first game.
Hwang scored six goals and seven assists in 35 official matches, including the UEFA Champions League, last season, and won the "Mozart Bet" Super Liga MVP award in the 2023-24 season by Mozart Sports, the official sponsor of the Serbian Super Liga. In addition, Hwang was named the right-center midfielder of the 4-2-3-1 formation in the 2023-24 Super Liga, making him one of the top 11 players in the league. 토토사이트 모음
Zvezda was deeply impressed by the performances of the two Korean players. When recruiting Seol, the club said, "Korean Hwang In-beom spent an excellent year here. He has excellent quality while working for the team. He has disciplined himself and shown dedication," adding, "Korean players have such characteristics. This is one of the reasons why we brought Seol."
Expectations are high whether Hwang In-beom and Seol Young-woo will be able to conquer the Serbian league together this season.
