Feyenoord immediately proved why he invested a huge amount of 10 billion won to recruit Hwang In-beom.

Hwang In-beom led his team to a 2-0 victory at home against Breda in the sixth round of the Dutch Eredivisie in the 2024-25 season at Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on the 22nd (Korea time).

Hwang joined Feyenoord after completing his A-match schedule, but his debut was delayed due to delays in the player registration process. The Dutch media "1908.nl " said, "Hwang In-beom is not eligible to play in the match against Groningen. He is not eligible to play in Feyenoord yet," forcing fans to postpone their expectations for a while.

However, he made his debut on the 20th through the first round of the UEFA Champions League phase with Leverkusen. At that time, his team suffered a crushing defeat of 0-4, but Hwang's performance was remarkable. He ran 11.8 kilometers on the field and carried out both attack and defense.

This match against Breda marked Hwang's true league debut and proved how he could live up to Feyenoord's expectations. From the start of the match, Hwang showed off his presence in the midfield. In the fifth minute of the first half, he blocked off the opponent team's attack and immediately sent an accurate kill pass to Ibrahim Osman. The pass was later connected to Antony Milambo's shot, but unfortunately, he failed to score due to obstruction of defense. However, Hwang's ability to manage the game and sense of pass stood out from this moment on.

Hwang was not only brilliant in attack situations. As the maestro of the midfield, he also actively participated in the defense and led the team's defense stably. As a corner kicker, he also threatened the opponent's defense by showing his accurate kicking ability. In particular, Hwang In-beom's attempt from the right side of the penalty box in the 43rd minute threatened the opponent's goal, but unfortunately missed the goal slightly. His aggressive shooting attempts made opposing goalkeepers nervous throughout the game, revitalizing Feyenoord's attacks.

Throughout the game, Hwang continued to seamlessly switch his team's offense and defense. On the day, he left impressive records including 87 ball touches, 82 percent success rate of passes, three key passes, four shots, four out of seven competitions, two fouls, three clearings, two interceptions, and two tackles. Football statistics media "Foot Mob" praised Hwang's performance by giving him an 8.3 point rating, which is the second highest in his team. After the game, Hwang was praised by Dutch media "1908.nl " as "the most recognizable player in Feyenoord" and received the KPN Most Valuable Player Award.

It is clear why Feyenoord recruited Hwang with a huge investment of 10 billion won. He is not just a defensive midfielder but a versatile player who can take care of both offense and defense. In the match on the day, Hwang played his role as a box-to-box midfielder perfectly, balancing the offense and defense. Such versatility was what Feyenoord had high expectations for when recruiting him.

Feyenoord defender David Hantzko said in an interview after the match, "I'm really happy to have Hwang here. His activities, ball handling, defense and attack are impressive," in which he praised Hwang's ability. Quinton Timber, who worked with him in the midfield, also said, "Hwang is adapting well to the team. It's only been two weeks since he came, but he's already a big help to the team."

In the 34th minute of the first half, Ayase Ueda took the lead. In the 29th minute of the second half, Timber scored a penalty to end the game on his own, securing a 2-0 win. Hwang also played an important role in this process, contributing to his team's victory.

Feyenoord recruited Hwang and expected him to play an important role in the team's midfield. Through this match, Hwang proved his value by showing a performance that exceeded his team's expectations. Hwang's role in Feyenoord's season will become even more important in the future. Having already performed very well since his debut, he is expected to become the center of the team and contribute greatly to Feyenoord's goal.

Feyenoord's huge investment of 10 billion won was never an exaggeration. Hwang In-beom has already begun to prove why he is worth it. Expectations are high on how he will perform on the Dutch stage in the future. 메이저놀이터
