(Seoul = Yonhap News) Journalist Lee Eui-jin = Hwang Hee-chan (26, Wolverhampton), who led Bentoho to the round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar, presented his grandparents with the best player trophy against Portugal.
Hwang Hee-chan posted a photo he took with his grandparents after returning home via Instagram on the 7th.
Hwang Hee-chan’s grandmother holds the “Player Of The Match” trophy awarded by Budweiser, an American liquor company that sponsors the World Cup.
The player with the most votes in a vote attended by fans from each country will receive a trophy and Hwang Hee-chan was selected as the player with the best performance in the third match of group H between Korea and Portugal in the Qatar World 2022 Stage in cup groups.
In this match, Hwang Hee-chan caught a pass from Son Heung-min (30′, Tottenham) in the second half of extra time and scored a dramatic comeback goal to lead to a 2-1 victory.
With this goal, Bentuho, who earned a point in the last group stage match, beat Uruguay and advanced to the round of 16 as runners-up in the group.
At the time, Hwang Hee-chan said, “I am proud as a Korean citizen that I can share a proud moment with you. I am happy that I can present a proud moment to my fans.”
Hwang Hee-chan has a special relationship with her grandparents.
In 2018, he appeared on MBC’s news program ‘News Desk’ and expressed his affection, saying, ‘Grandpa and Grandma are so much to me that I can’t put into words.’
In particular, his grandmother used to visit Incheon International Airport to say goodbye to Hwang Hee-chan when he left Korea to join his team in a foreign country.
On his way back to England after the A match (national team match) in June, his grandmother greeted Hwang Hee-chan with a hug as he rode in a wheelchair to the departure lounge.
