Hwang Hee-chan

I have a real soft spot for Hwang Hee-chan. The nickname Hwangso, the bull, says everything about how he plays: relentless, fearless, charging into spaces taller players avoid. At 177 cm he is not physically imposing, which makes his aggression all the more impressive to me. Watching an Asian forward muscle through the Wolves attack and lead the line for South Korea gives me a quiet sense of pride. I value grit over flash, and Hwang embodies the kind of honest, lung-bursting effort that wins my admiration. I will be cheering for every one of his bullish runs.
