Kangwon FC had a special meeting with Yang Min-hyuk from the club during Tottenham training.

Gangwon FC has been conducting youth training in London, England since the 3rd. Tottenham is supporting the entire course of this training. Tottenham and Gangwon FC formed a relationship during Yang Min-hyuk's transfer process. A total of 28 people, including Kim Byung-ji, CEO of Gangwon FC, coaching staff and players of Gangwon FC U-18 (Gangneung Jeil High School), and rookie players of Gangwon FC, are participating in the training.

Gangwon FC Training Center conducts daily training and theoretical lectures according to the schedule prepared by Tottenham. After arriving in the country, I watched the English Premier League match between Tottenham and West Ham. Unfortunately, Son Heung-min was unable to play on the day due to his injury.




On the 7th, I watched the practice game between Tottenham U-18 team and Fulham U-18 team. Various schedules were followed, including strengthening sessions, tactical training, philosophy lectures at Tottenham Academy, and stadium tours.

Lee Jung-jae, captain of the Gangwon FC U-18 (Gangneung Jeil High School), said, `It was an opportunity to dream bigger by coming to England and seeing the wider world and higher-quality players than us. On the one hand, looking back on my shortcomings, I thought I should work harder to achieve my dream. I am grateful to the club and (Yang) Min-hyuk for having such a good experience. I will try to come back to Korea and show you a better side of me."

A special time has also been arranged. Yang Min-hyuk arranged a meal for the training on the 7th and served dinner. Yang Min-hyuk shared the experiences he actually encountered on the European stage, including training intensity, position competition, recovery routine, and cultural adaptation. The team listened closely to specific advice on preparing for an unfamiliar environment.




Yang Min-hyuk, who made his debut with Gangwon FC last season, performed amazingly in his first season. Yang Min-hyuk has confirmed his transfer to Tottenham, as well as selecting the A national team and winning the Young Player Award. Gangwon FC won the runner-up prize, the highest performance since its foundation, with Yang Min-hyuk's performance. Yang Min-hyuk did not forget his gratitude to Gangwon FC and encouraged his juniors.

Yang Min-hyuk "I had a great time having dinner with my juniors from Gangwon FC U-18 (Gangneung Jeil High School) after a long time." It was a very meaningful place to be able to recall memories of the past and have sincere conversations with juniors. I sincerely support these guys to continue to grow into great players in the future."

Gangwon FC expects this experience to be a valuable fertilizer for the growth of prospects who dream of becoming the second Yang Min-hyuk.
