Yang Min-hyuk and Bae Jun-ho, who will be responsible for the future of Korea, will face off next week on the Single Tree Bridge.
With Yang Minhyuk's Queens Park Rangers (QPR) Bae Joon-ho's Stoke City will play the 39th round of the English Championship (second division) in the 2024-2025 season at BET365 Stadium in Stoke, England, on the 30th (Korea time).
The game is expected to be a very important game for Bae Joon-ho and Yang Min-hyuk. Both players are suffering from growing pains at a time when they are growing up. Bae Jun-ho, a prospect born in 2003, who took root before Yang Min-hyuk, is even more serious.
It's not a personal problem for Bae Jun-ho. Bae Joon-ho was recognized as soon as he moved to Stoke's ace, and he is one of the few players who pay for his meal at Stoke again this season. The problem is the team. Bae Joon-ho and Stoke, who were worried about relegation last season, are competing for relegation this season as well.

There's nowhere else to back down. In the 38th round, Stoke remained on 39 points as he lost to Millwall on a theatrical goal. Stoke is in 20th place. Derby County, ranked 22nd, won the same round, resulting in 38 points. If Derby earns points against Preston North End in the 39th round, Stoke could fall into the relegation zone depending on the situation. Since there are less than 10 games left in the league, the drop in the relegation zone could be fatal in the second half.
When Yang Min-hyuk was loaned to QPR, he would have played as a main player and led QPR to the promotion playoff, but all of them are becoming difficult. QPR, which has recently fallen to one draw and four losses in five league games, has widened its gap with the promotion playoff ticket. Chasing is not easy in reality.
Yang Min-hyuk is also worried because his playing time is decreasing. Immediately after the loan, he seemed to be taking off as a main player by showing his presence as a substitute, but his playing time is decreasing as Yang Min-hyuk has been somewhat quiet since he became a main player. In the match against Middlesbrough on the 12th, he was replaced in the first half, and in the previous match against Leeds United, he sat on the bench and missed.

If Yang Min-hyuk does not get a chance in the match against Stoke, the remaining second half of the season will be worrisome. The reason why Yang Min-hyuk went on loan to QPR is to adapt to English soccer, but he cannot develop adaptability on the bench. If he returns to Tottenham without making a leap to the starting lineup in QPR, of course, it will be difficult to get a chance at Tottenham.
Bae Joon-ho, who has to save the team to prevent relegation, and Yang Min-hyuk, who has to prove his skills to prove his competitiveness, are just around the corner. Currently, the two players were called up for the A-match in March at the call of Hong Myung-bo, the coach of the South Korean national soccer team. They are the two players who also have to compete in good faith to secure playing time in the national team.
