Gangwon FC’s Yang Min-hyuk has been selected as the “Best Young Player” of Team K League, which will play a friendly match against Tottenham Hotspur (England), where Korean soccer icon Son Heung-min plays.
“Yang Min-hyuk has been selected as the ‘Couple Young Players’ of Team K-League, which will face Tottenham in the first match of the ‘2024 Coupang Play Series’ at Seoul World Cup Stadium on May 31,” the Korea Professional Football Association announced on May 2.
After receiving nominations from 12 K League clubs for 12 players under the age of 22 who have performed strongly this season, the Couple Youngple is the player who received the most votes through the Coupang Play fan vote from the 24th to the 30th of last month.
Yang Min-hyuk received 20.8 percent of the vote, topping the list of players who received the most votes, including Kang Sung-jin (Seoul – 20.4 percent), Hwang Jae-won (Daegu – 15.2 percent), and Uhm Ji-sung (Gwangju – 9.2 percent).
Yang Min-hyuk, who was selected as the “Couple Youngple,” has already secured a spot on Team K League, the team that will face Tottenham.
Born in 2006 and still in high school, Yang Min-hyuk has played in all 20 rounds of the league, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
He broke all records for appearances, goals, and assists by the youngest player in Gangwon‘s history, and signed a professional contract last month.
He was awarded the K League Young Player of the Month for April and May and was named to the league’s Best 11 three times.
Meanwhile, the ‘Fan Eleven’ voting for the best players in the K League 1 will begin at 2 p.m. on May 5.
It will be held on the K League’s official app, Kick, from May 5 to 14. One goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders, and three strikers will be selected in order of the most votes.
The remaining 10 players will be selected by the coaching staff, with the exception of Yang Min-hyuk and Pan Eleven players. 바카라사이트
