Portsmouth fans are pouring out excessive criticism on Yang Min-hyuk.

Yang Min-hyuk's new team, Portsmouth, lost 1-2 in the first round of the English Football League Cup (EFL Cup) against Reading at Preton Park in Portsmouth, England on the 13th (Korea time). The defeat knocked Portsmouth out of the tournament.

On this day, Yang Min-hyuk started as a left winger in the 4-2-3-1 formation. Yang Min-hyuk, who played as a substitute for a short time in the opening match of the English Championship (second division) against Oxford United on the 10th, was immediately given a chance to make his debut as a starter.

Maybe it's because he's not 100% in his physical condition yet. Or was it because I didn't have enough time to adapt to Portsmouth football. Yang Min-hyuk did not perform well on the day. Yang Min-hyuk's play didn't come out well on the left. The shot attempted in the 22nd minute of the first half was deflected off the defender, and in the 41st minute of the first half, he boldly hit the center and shot, but it was a somewhat unreasonable attempt. A mid-range shot attempted just before the end of the first half was also blocked.




It was a full-time game in which Yang Min-hyuk's individual performance was also disappointing, and his breathing with his teammates was still awkward. Yang Min-hyuk himself must have been very disappointed because Reading was an English League 1 (third division) club.

You can't be full immediately after the first drink, but Portsmouth fans are sending excessive criticism to Yang Min-hyuk. Pompeii News, a media outlet specializing in Portsmouth, published an article titled 「Portsmouth fans angry with Yang Min-hyuk」 on the 14th.

Pompeii News reported that `Korea's national team Yang Min-hyuk's full-time debut did not go as planned, and many fans doubt that the player on loan from Tottenham will be a good recruit for Portsmouth coach John Musinho. One Portsmouth fan also suggested sending Yang Min-hyuk back to Tottenham. 'If you don't do well against Reading's second team, you're not fit for the championship,' he added, introducing the reaction of Portsmouth fans.

The criticism is not beneficial to Yang Min-hyuk either. As much as he had high expectations for Yang Min-hyuk, he may have been disappointed, but he is now a young prospect who has played two games. If it is a criticism of his performance, would he not know it. It is the timing when there is no doubt about the player itself.




Yang should only think about moving forward, ignoring unconvincing criticism. This is because coach Musinho has a clear trust in Yang Min-hyuk. Coach Mussinho wanted to bring Yang Min-hyuk unconditionally from the transfer market this summer, and Yang Min-hyuk also chose Mussinho. These are criticisms that will disappear if they quickly adapt to the system of coach Musinho and Portsmouth and show good performance.
