‘Lari is the sole leader in scoring’
Villarreal drew 4-4 against Real Madrid in the 37th round of La Liga in 2023/24 at Villarreal Estadio de la Ceramica in Spain on Wednesday.
Villarreal, ranked eighth, failed to advance to the European match with 14 wins, 10 draws, and 13 losses (52 points) in 37 games, a point gap with Real Betis (56 points), ranking seventh, to four points.
However, it was comforting that Seurlott, who has been reborn as the team’s ace by showing off his full-fledged skills this season, approached Peachic, the La Liga’s top scorer trophy, with his concentration of four goals alone.
Seurlott, who had 19 goals in the league before the match against Real, scored his 20, 21, 22 and 23rd goals at once, beating Jude Bellingham (19 goals) and Artem Dovvik (21 goals) to become a La Liga scorer.
Real (94 points) this season is one of the best teams in the world beyond the Spanish stage. In Korea, the team was ahead of FC Barcelona (82 points) and Girona FC (78 points) to clinch the title early on, and has advanced to the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
With four goals against Real Madrid, Sørlotte has emerged as one of the most recognized strikers in the world in just one day. However, considering Sørlotte’s career, he is hardly the type of striker who is suddenly shining. He also stands out for his deep relationship with Korean players throughout his career.
Seurlott started to show his talent after joining Mitwilan in 2017. Seurlott proved himself to be one of the best in performance by scoring 15 goals and nine assists in 26 official matches (including cup matches) at the Danish league Mitwilan, which is also Cho’s team. As a result, many European clubs invited him to join the club, which ultimately confirmed his move to Crystal Palace in the English Premier League.
Dark clouds loom over Seurlott’s career, as Seurlott expected to emerge on the big stage after leaving Mitwillan. Seurlott only scored one goal in 20 official matches between January 2018 and January 2019 at Crystal Palace, where he joined with high expectations. He also played with Lee Chung-yong (Ulsan HD) during this period.
Since then, Sørlott, who has passed through KAA Hent (Belgium) and Travjonspor (Turkiye), has consistently failed to meet expectations and will decide to move to RB Leipzig in September 2020.
Sørlotte was also evaluated as having less performance than his potential in Leipzig. At that time, Timo Werner and Patrick Sück left the team desperately needed to reinforce the strikers. Hwang Hee-chan and Sørlotte tried to fill the gap, but the two players continued to suffer a slump with less than 10 goals in total, ending in a thorough failure.
Since then, Seurlott has again become a loanee and will appear in Spain’s La Liga. Here came the twist. In the 2021/22 season, Real Sociedad showed promise with eight goals in 44 official matches, before making a spectacular comeback with 16 goals in 46 matches in the 2022/23 season.토토사이트 순위
Thanks to such performances, Villarreal fully recruited Seurlott ahead of this season. The result was a huge success. Seurlott was the top scorer with 23 goals in 33 matches in the league alone, and scored three goals in six matches in the Europa League.
If La Liga’s scoring position with one game left ends without much change, it will be the first time in 19 years since Diego Forlan became the top scorer for Villarreal in the 2004/05 season.
