Last weekend, the continental league began a new round of competition. In fact, counting the Europa League and the European Cup last week, the performance of South Korean players last week was remarkable. Wolves, in particular, also scored his fourth goal of the season in the league. Li Gangren of Mallorca in La Liga not only gave assists to the old owner, but also was sent off in red, which can be described as "too excited". In the Europa League in midweek, Linz's Hong Hyun Seok also scored, so let's take a look at the overall performance of South Korean players last week.
Huang Xican became more and more pampered
Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur [Premier League])
Sun Xingyu is difficult to support alone
Last week, Tottenham Hotspur had two games, one in the European Cup away to Wetters in the Eredivisie and one away to West Ham United. As a result, in two matches, Tottenham Hotspur lost 0-1. Son Didn't play in the European Cup in midweek, while the weekend match against West Ham United was full but didn't score. In fact, in this game, Son Heung-min still has a lot of wonderful performances, such as his passing and shooting are as threatening as ever, but he always misses the goal. Perhaps, he needs to save important goals for crucial battles. Hopefully, he and Tottenham can get out of the trough sooner rather than later.
Huang Xican (Wolves [Premier League])
Huang Xican scored the fourth goal
The performance of Huang Xican and Sun Xingyu is basically alternating, and if Sun Xingyu performs badly, Huang Xican will break out. In the ninth round of the 2021-22 Premier League season that ended last weekend, Wolves played Leeds United away, huang Xican started as a left winger. In the 10th minute, teammate Gimenez's shot was blocked by the opposing defender, and Huang Xican followed up with the shot, which was also his fourth goal to join the team!

Huang Xican celebrated the goal
Unfortunately, Wolves were late in the last minute and were equalized by their opponents, regrettably only gaining one point. However, Huang Xican, who played the whole game, still won the post-match MVP. Huang Xican has started four times in the last four rounds of matches and scored three goals, which has also made wolves management overjoyed, and the British media has disclosed that Wolves are also ready to talk with Red Bull Leipzig about Huang Xican's permanent transfer. For Huang Xican, this is good news.
Li Gangren (Mallorca [La Liga])
Li Gangren faced the old lord
In the tenth round of the 2021-22 La Liga season last weekend, Li Gangren, who played for Mallorca, was particularly looking forward to it, because it was his old club Valencia. During his time at Valencia, Li Gangren was treated unfairly for "refusing to renew his contract", which also made him very strong in his away game against Valencia. In this campaign, Li Gangren made his debut as a right wing forward, which was also his fifth consecutive start. In this game, Li Gangren was particularly active, in the 31st minute, he assisted his teammates to complete the goal after breaking through on the wing, which was also the first time he gave an assist this season, and whether he faced his old club or was at the home of his old club, such a moment is undoubtedly a long wait for Li Gangren.
Li Gangren sent an assist
However, Li Gangren seemed to be a little too excited. Facing his former teammates, Li Gangren's movements were somewhat large. In the 55th minute of the second half, Li Gangren received a second yellow card and was sent off, and the team finally conceded two goals in a row after he was sent off, and finally shook hands with his opponents 2-2. For Li Gangren, this is a memorable game, but this "memorial" may not be willing to recall the results.
Being punished in front of his former owner hurt him
Zheng Youying (Freiburg im Breisgau [Bundesliga])
Zheng Youying is in the scramble
In the ninth round of the 2021-22 Bundesliga last weekend, South Korea's new international Jung You-young played Wolfsburg with Freiburg away to Van Bommel's Wolfsburg, and freiburg won 2-0, which also led to the early dismissal of the Dutch celebrities. In this game, Zheng Youying played 78 minutes and did not score a goal. But if he can win with the team, he is in a good mood. In the case of the national team not being taken seriously, the club still opened its warm arms to him.
Lee Jae-seong (Mainz [Bundesliga])
Also last weekend in the ninth round of the Bundesliga, Lee jae-seong won a big victory with Mainz, their 4-1 home victory over Augsburg, a victory that also allowed Mainz to rise to sixth place with goal difference. In this campaign, Lee regained the opportunity to start in the city, which is also his return to the starting point after 7 rounds, and it is also a reward for his assists in the last round against Dortmund. As a left winger, Lee was very active in the city and instigated the team's first goal, although it was not an assist, but it was still affirmed by his teammates. In the 64th minute, Lee was replaced in the city to end the game. He touched the ball 39 times, broke the ball twice, and successfully passed the ball (instigated the goal) once.
Choi Kyung-lu (Karlsruhe [Bundes b])
Last weekend, the 11th round of the 2011-22 Bundesliga was contested, with Karlsruhe losing 3-1 away to Düsseldorf, and South Korean player Choi Jang-rook played 78 minutes for Karlsruhe without a goal or assist. As the "only Korean player to appear" in the Bundesliga round, Choi Kyung-rok also needs to work harder to prove his worth.
Shi Xianjun (Troyes [Ligue 1])
Last weekend's match day between Troyes and Reims in the tenth round of Ligue 1 was undoubtedly a great day for Troyes' South Korean centre-forward Seok Hyun-joon. On this day, he was arranged by the head coach to enter the starting list for the first time this season, and Shi Xianjun also seized the opportunity very well, although he did not score, he completely suppressed the opponent's attack on the offensive end, so that Lance's biggest advantage was completely dissolved. In this campaign, Shi Xianjun played 89 minutes and finally won 2-1 with his teammates.
Huang Renfan (Kazan Ruby [Russian Premier League])
Huang Renfan
Last weekend, the 12th round of the 2021-22 Russian Premier League began, with the Kazan Rubys drawing 1-1 with Ufa, and Huang Renfan continued to start and play the whole game. But the team's downturn also made them only accept the embarrassment of not winning five consecutive rounds.
Kim Hyun-jae (Fenerbach [Tu Chao])
Kim Hyun-jae
Kim Hyun-jae, who was reddish in the league last weekend, got a chance to start in the Europa League in midweek, and in Fenerbach's match against match a league club Antwerp, Kim played the full game and performed well on the defensive end. But there were still small moves, but the referee on duty did not give him cards like the referees in the league. In the end, the team shook hands with the opponent 2-2, and Kim Hyun-jae was able to survive the crisis. However, in the weekend match with Alanya Sports, Kim Hyun-jae, who was suspended from the red game, could only witness the team's 1-2 defeat and suffered two consecutive defeats. It can be seen that Kim Hyun-jae is very critical to the role of the team. I also hope that he will get rid of his own small problems and think more about the overall situation.
Hong Hyun-seok (Linz [Oga])
Hong Hyun Seok
Last weekend, Linz's Hwang Hyun-suk competed in two matches, scoring a goal in the 35th minute with a long-range shot in the midweek European Cup away match against Armenian club Arashkot, his first of the season. In the 57th minute, when the overall situation was already decided, Hong Hyun-suk was replaced, and the team finally won 3-0 away from home.
Hong Hyun Seok scored from a distance
But back in the league weekend, Hong Hyun-suk and the team weren't so lucky. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Linz lost 1-0 at home to Arte Ach Reindorf, and Hong Hyun Seok played 76 minutes without scoring a goal.
Bordeaux's Huang Yisuke missed the game last weekend due to injury, and it seems that his injury has not healed after being replaced in the last round. In addition, Wu Renbiao of the Austrian youth club in the Austrian Second Division also played the whole game in the league, but the team lost 1-5. Overall, last weekend, including mid-last week, the performance of South Korean players can only be decent. This week, individual countries have the task of playing cups, hoping that South Korean players in Europe will seize the opportunity to prove their strength.
