"Pirlo's same player, we needed it."

"Hwang In-beom is showing overwhelming talent in two games after his work permit came out," Dutch "Nu" said on the 23rd (Korea time). In particular, he is aggressive and can play No. 6 (defensive midfielder)," adding, "It reminds me of Andrea Pirlo in the past."

Hwang In-beom, who played full-time, showed off his presence in both attack and defense by recording 4 shots, 82% (53/65) pass success rate, 3 chances creation, 11 final third-regional balls, 2 tackles successful, 3 interceptions, and 13 ball recovery.

Potmob, a media outlet specializing in ratings, gave Hwang an 8.3 rating, the second-highest in the team, higher than the eight points received by Ayase, the Japanese striker who was substituted and scored the first goal

NU said, "Hwang is the embodiment of confidence. Right after the work permit was issued, he played 90 minutes in both matches, demonstrating his skills properly. Coach Brian Friske is using Hwang, who is highly aggressive, as No. 6. And he is showing his skills properly on the spot."

"Hwang is an experienced and outstanding player. He is the player that we have been looking for so desperately," Friske said. "The reason why Hwang is running as No. 6 is simple. We need defensive midfielders with aggressive talent. Players like Pirlo or Hwang In-beom."
