Yang Min-hyuk (Portsmouth), who was even evaluated as the "next-generation ace who will lead Korean soccer" until just a year ago, is in a serious condition. He seems to have no adjustment to English football. As he was unable to play continuously, his form fell to the point where it fell. He only got a chance to start in six games, and he showed only the worst performance. In the end, he received the lowest score with sharp criticism from fans.
Yang Min-hyuk, who is on loan to Portsmouth in the English Championship (second division), started as a left winger in an away game against Ipswich Town in the seventh round of the 2025-2026 season championship at Portman Road in Ipswich, England, at 11 p.m. on the 27th (Korea time).
It was his return to the starting lineup for the first time in six games.

However, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank sent Yang on loan to Championship Portsmouth again in August because he needed more experience in the game. Yang Min-hyuk was initially highly anticipated by the Portsmouth club. He played as a substitute in the opening game of the league against Oxford United, and then started in the first round of the English Football League Cup (EFL Cup).
However, when he failed to impress in the match against Reading, his opportunity to play disappeared immediately. He has been benched for the last five consecutive league games. As Yang Min-hyuk's absence was prolonged, local media criticized that Yang Min-hyuk's rental was a failed decision.
However, Portsmouth coach John Musinho and director Rich Hughes appeared to defend themselves from external criticism, saying, `Yang Min-hyuk needs more time.'
In the end, coach Mussinho gave Yang Min-hyuk a chance to start again in six games. Before Ipswich, he launched a 4-2-3-1 formation, putting Yang Min-hyuk in the left winger's position. It was his first start in six games and his first start in the league in the 2025-2026 season. It was seen as a golden opportunity for Yang Min-hyuk to calm down the public criticism against him.

Yang Min-hyuk played hard. However, it did not contribute to the team at all.
The worst scene came in the 34th minute of the first half when the team was trailing 0-1. Portsmouth launched a momentary counterattack. Yang Min-hyuk took over the ball and faced a one-on-one chance with the Ipswich Town goalkeeper. I missed the timing of the shot, and the goalkeeper ran out and hit the ball. This was the only scene where Yang Min-hyuk stood out on this day. In the end, Portsmouth lost 1-2. If Yang Min-hyuk hadn't missed a one-on-one chance, other results could have come out.
Perhaps because he missed the big chance in the first half, Yang Min-hyuk showed only a slight contraction in the second half In the end, he was replaced by Mackenzie Kirk in the 29th minute of the second half.
