(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Eui-jin = Hwang Hee-chan (26, Wolverhampton), who put Bentoho in the round of 16 at the Qatar World Cup, presented the best player trophy against Portugal to his grandparents.

Hwang Hee-chan posted a picture taken with his grandparents after returning home through Instagram on the 7th.

Hwang Hee-chan’s grandmother holds the ‘Player Of The Match’ trophy awarded by Budweiser, an American liquor company that sponsors the World Cup.

The player with the most votes in a vote participated by football fans from each country will receive a trophy, and Hwang Hee-chan was selected as the player with the best performance in the 3rd group H match between Korea and Portugal in the 2022 Qatar World Cup group stage.

In this game, Hwang Hee-chan received a pass from Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham) in the second half of extra time and scored a dramatic come-from-behind goal that led to a 2-1 victory.

With this goal, Bentuho, who earned a point in the last game of the group stage, beat Uruguay and advanced to the round of 16 as second place in the group.

At the time, Hwang Hee-chan said, “I am proud as a Korean citizen to be able to share a proud moment with you. I am happy to be able to present a proud moment to my fans.”

Hwang Hee-chan has a special relationship with his grandparents.

In 2018, he appeared on the MBC news program ‘News Desk’ and expressed his affection, saying, “Grandpa and grandmother are to me so much that I can’t express them in words.”

In particular, his grandmother used to visit Incheon International Airport to see off Hwang Hee-chan when he left Korea to join his team in a foreign country.

On the way back to England after the A-match (match between national teams) in June, his grandmother saw off Hwang Hee-chan with a hug as he left in a wheelchair to the departure hall.
