We always struggle against Wolverhampton, and when you see the quality they have - especially up front with Pedro Neto, Mateusz Kunja, The Korean guy - it's clear how good they are.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola announced the match with Wolves on Friday with these words.
A day later, a boy from Korea, whose name Guardiola could not remember, defeated the champion of England and Europe (2:1).
He is Hwang Hi-Chan (27), in his homeland he is called "Hwangso" (bull) because of his strength and aggressive play, while he was wearing the jersey of the German "bulls" from Leipzig, he was the new Roberto Firmino, and in the Premier League, except against City , this season shook the net of another great Liverpool.
And when the "bulls" from Leipzig are mentioned, it is clear that this guy arrived in Europe through the phenomenal scouts of Red Bull - first in Salzburg, and then in the east of Germany.
In his homeland, he played for Pohang through the younger categories, and he has already played 55 games for the South Korean national team, and he scored one of the most important goals for this country in recent years.
In the last round of the World Cup in Qatar, the Koreans needed a victory over Portugal in the last round to get through the group, and they achieved it in the 91st minute when Hwang coolly checked Diogo Košta.
In his first season in the Wolves jersey, Hwang shyly managed to score three goals in 27 games, while during the first seven rounds of the Premier League, he already hit the net four times.
After he scored against the perfect City (had all six wins), the whole world now knows who "The Korean guy" is.
