Feyenoord player In-beom Hwang has shone at the World Cup for South Korea. The midfielder scored a goal and provided an assist in the second match against the Czech Republic. Hwang's performance shows that he is fully fit again after an intensive rehabilitation with the South Korean Football Association. The Feyenoord player had a mixed season last year, which was heavily influenced by persistent injuries. A ankle injury kept him out for the rest of the season. In the end, he played 17 league matches, scoring one goal and providing three assists. As a result, Hwang's position in the pecking order weakened in favor of competitors like Oussama Targhalline and Luciano Valente. Data from SciSports shows that Hwang had a very mediocre season. The South Korean was one of the least performing midfielders in the Eredivisie, partly due to the lack of rhythm. According to data journalist Willem Leijgraf, there are also some positive aspects: "When looking at Hwang's statistics last season in the Eredivisie, it is noticeable that he was involved in many ball recoveries (4.85 per 90 minutes) and won duels (win ratio of 61.1%)".
