Explosion of interest in the UK
Stoke City’s Bae Joon-ho, who was called by national soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo, is receiving a lot of attention as a substitute for Son Heung-min in the UK.
The Stoke Sentinel, which reported the Stoke City news, said on the 30th, Stoke City striker Bae Jun-ho has been called up to the national team as a substitute for Son Heung-min. We headed to Far East Asia for the two consecutive A matches in October, introducing Bae Jun-ho as a substitute for Son Heung-min.
Bae Jun-ho was called back to the Korean national team for two matches during the October A-match period. Bae was called up for the first time under the leadership of Hong Myung-bo. Hong has also selected a number of young players and Tottenham star Son Heung-min, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, the Korean media said. Bae Joon-ho, who scored a goal against Singapore in his debut match for the senior national team under the interim coach in June, is drawing attention as a substitute for Son in case he is unable to play in an away match against Jordan or at home in Iraq.
Bae left the K League 1 Daejeon Hana Citizen to join Stoke City last summer. Since then, Bae has performed very well and jumped into an ace player, and was honored to be named Player of the Year in his debut season.
Bae Joon-ho won the Stoke City Player of the Year award, Stoke City said. The Korean playmaker was chosen as the winner, beating Bauter Würcher. Although he is only 20 years old, he enjoyed his great debut at bet365 Stadium, announcing the news of Bae’s Player of the Year award.
The 20-year-old Bae Jun-ho moved from Daejeon Hana Citizen to the club and became a firmly loved player by fans after his debut season, he said. Fans cheered for the first eight months as the ‘King of Korea’ in the stands, and Bae Jun-ho also became a key player in coach Stephen Schumacher’s first-team squad. 안전놀이터
Once it successfully settled down on the British stage, it also began to show interest in the Premier League of the highest league. British media outlet the72 reported that Bae Jun-ho is receiving Fulham’s attention. Since then, Stoke City has kept the ace’s number 10, assigned to Bae Jun-ho.
However, this season, Bae Jun-ho has not been impressive due to his thigh injury. Bae Jun-ho, who scored his debut goal in the A-match against Singapore in June, was not called by coach Hong Myung-bo during the A-match in September due to his injury.
However, he rejoined the national team ahead of games against Jordan and Iraq in October. As captain Son Heung-min recently suffered an injury for his team Tottenham Hotspur, there is a possibility that Bae Jun-ho will replace Son. The Stoke Sentinel is paying attention to this point.
Coach Hong Myung-bo also announced the list of the national team on the same day, saying, We have prepared a plan B in case Son Heung-min cannot play. I don’t know what it will do when Son Heung-min is not on the field, but there are enough players to replace the position, adding, If there is another replacement when the player there moves, I think we can make an additional selection and pick another.
Attention is focusing on whether Bae Joon-ho will be able to meet expectations as a substitute for Son Heung-min.
