Hwang Hee-chan was substituted in the 28th minute of the second half in the 28th round of the English Premier League (EPL) match between Wolverhampton and Everton in 2024-2025 at Molineux, Wolverhampton, England, on the afternoon of the 8th (local time). I digested 20 minutes including extra time. The game was tied one to one. It was his first return in a month since he was injured during an FA Cup match against Blackburn on 8 February.
I met Hwang Hee-chan in the mixed zone after the game. He has been well treated. He returned to a clean body. There is no pain. I could do the sprint to my heart's content." He then laughed, saying, `Because there is no pain, I will be able to play soccer happily again.'

-What was the director's order while participating?
▶I was preparing to put in the game during the FA Cup last time. The players were injured, so they couldn't get into the game. It would have been better for me and for the fans who waited if I could come back a little faster.
While waiting, we had time to prepare again. A lot of people helped me during that time. I received treatment well from Ahn Deok-soo and Song Young-sik. Song Young-sik came from Korea and watched it in person, so there were parts that got better.
Last time, I came back from an ankle injury that didn't heal. He treated me well this time, so I came back to a completely clean body. I think it's been a while since I did sprint.
My body came back well, so I was able to personally have fun playing. I ran a lot to help the team, but I couldn't make a big chance. I think I didn't have enough time. I felt positive about creating more opportunities in the future.
I don't have pain anymore. When I hurt my ankle last time, I couldn't get over it and came back, so I kept bouncing and running a little bit. After that was completely resolved, I was happy to run lightly for the first time in a long time to the extent that this feeling was a little awkward. I think the period of preparing for this game was very fresh.
-I think it would have been a period of a month after the injury to strengthen both body and mind.
▶The ankle injury lasted a lot longer than I thought, and since I continued to run with it even after returning, I had a muscle injury as my balance was lost.
There were a lot of frustrating times this season. I don't have that kind of pain now, so I'm very happy to be back to my original self. As always, there is a belief that when there is no injury, you can show good performance.
There are words like that. The only thing that can stop Hwang Hee-chan is his hamstring. As there is a saying, there is no injury and no pain, so I think I can play soccer again happily.
-Now the team has two important games ahead of it. I'm back in a good body in this situation.
▶As we approach the end of the season, our team is facing a very important moment. The upcoming games are against teams competing for relegation. It's an even more important game. I'm so happy that my body is back to normal ahead of this time. As much as I feel like this, I want to be helpful to the team by showing my best. There are so many good players around now, so I'm communicating well with them. The team atmosphere is very good, too. The goal is to win every game, so it's important to build as many points as possible in the important games coming up.
I think the South Hampton expedition next week will be the most important. Since there will be an Ipswich game after that, I think it will be important for us to do our best in each game and win as many points as possible.
