Team K-League, face-off with Tottenham at 8 p.m. on the 31st: "We must show as many of our strengths as possible"
Yang Min-hyeok, who signed with Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League (EPL), will have a showcase stage.
In a Team K-League media interview conducted ahead of the first match of the 'Coupang Play Series' against Tottenham, which will be held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 PM on the 31st, Yang Min-hyeok said, "I am very honored and feel good to be selected for the All-Star Game in my first season as a pro."
Yang Min-hyeok was selected for Team K-League as 'Couple Young-ple' after receiving the most votes from fans out of the 12 candidates for U-22 players who performed exceptionally well this season submitted by each of the 12 professional K-League 1 clubs.
Recently, Tottenham signed a contract with Yang Min-hyeok, who has been performing amazingly since his professional debut this season, so this match will be a showcase stage.
Yang Min-hyeok said, “It’s a more special match for me personally,” and added, “I think I’ll watch it closely because it’s the team I have to go to. I think my job is to show as many of my strengths as possible in today’s match.”
Gangwon FC rookie Yang Min-hyeok will spend the rest of the season with Gangwon and join Tottenham in January next year.
He said about why he chose Tottenham, “There’s Son Heung-min. He’s the captain of Korea and Tottenham, so I think I can rely on him and learn a lot as a fellow Korean, so I think I’ve gained confidence.” Yang Min-hyeok, who said, “I’ve been studying English for the past month,” said, “I think it’ll feel real when I go to England and join the team. I’m not feeling it well yet. I’ve gotten a lot of calls from people around me congratulating me.” During the pre-match press conference the day before, Tottenham manager Anje Postecoglou, Son Heung-min, manager Park Tae-ha (Pohang Steelers), Lee Seung-woo (Jeonbuk Hyundai), and Joo Min-kyu (Ulsan HD) all praised Yang Min-hyeok. Yang Min-hyeok smiled and said, “I was so touched by the kind words. I am so grateful,” adding, “I think I should do better. I think today’s match will be important.” When asked if he had prepared a celebration, he said, “I am a little embarrassed to celebrate after scoring a goal. Since (Lee) Seung-woo hyung asked me to do it with him, I think I should prepare one.” Yang Min-hyeok is determined to win the league with Gangwon for the rest of the season and join Tottenham. He said, “I am confident enough (of winning the league). I think all my hyungs think the same. Gangwon is doing so well these days, so if we just win the remaining few games, I think it will be possible. I really want to win in Gangwon and leave on a good note.” Yang Min-hyeok, who is preparing for the Tottenham match with excitement rather than nervousness, smiled and said, “I thought about visiting Korea as a member of Tottenham next year, and I think it would feel really good.” 파워볼사이트
