‘Supernova’ Bae Jun-Ho (Stoke City) has been on a roll.
After exploding for his debut goal in Europe, he has now scored in two consecutive games. Bae started the 35th round of the 2023-2024 English Championship (Second Division) against Middlesbrough at the BET365 Stadium in Stoke, England, on Wednesday (Feb. 3) and scored the game-winner in the 40th minute. Bae collected a ball from Million Manoev, won a contest with the defense, and finished with a quick shot on the rebound. It was his second goal in as many games, following his goal against Cardiff City on March 25th.
While the Cardiff goal was a bit of a fluke, this goal was a clear indication of how far Bae has come. Bae Junho received a pass and tried to break through from the left to the center. The opposing defense was strong, but he won the physical battle. His shoulder first and solid lower body strength stood out. Bae continued his breakthrough with his trademark smart move and rattled the Middlesbrough goal with an accurate shot.
Bae played the full game, completing all 20 of his passing attempts in a remarkable performance. 토토사이트 He had one key pass and created one big chance. His crosses had a 100% success rate. He also won three ground battles and was dominant on offense. Bae earned a Sofascore of 7.6, second only to Lewis Baker (7.9), who scored the wedge goal. Behind Bae’s performance, Stoke went on to win 2-0.
Bae is getting better by the day.
After playing a key role in last year’s U-20 World Cup quarterfinals, the South Korean international earned European offers and joined Stoke in the summer transfer window. Despite his young age, he has made a significant impact in his first season in Europe. He started the season as a substitute, but by mid-season, he had established himself as a regular starter. Bae has made 27 appearances in the Championship this season, including 16 starts.
The only thing that didn’t match his performance was his offense. He brought creativity to Stoke from an attacking position, leading the Stoke attack with his clever, agile movements. There was also a change in style. The team is pressing hard, playing aggressive defense, and getting physical in the process. Stoke’s style of play is often ‘defend first, then attack’ due to their lack of quality, and Bae has been the link in the chain. He has been the link in the counterattack by winning the ball and carrying the ball himself when the situation calls for it. From his original position of attacking midfielder to central midfielder, he was involved in virtually every area of the attack and was Stoke’s sole source of attacking options.
Despite his brilliance, goals were hard to come by.
Partly because of his selfless nature, but also because the goals just weren’t coming. With four assists in the league and FA Cup, Bae broke through with his debut goal against Cardiff City and carried that momentum into the game against Middlesbrough. As he continues to grow, he’s already attracting interest from a number of clubs. Bae is quickly becoming a success story.
Meanwhile, Stoke City escaped a two-game losing streak with the win. They remain in 22nd place in the standings, but have the same number of points as 21st-place Huddersfield (38 points over). Stoke City (33 goals) have the same goal differential (-15) as Huddersfield (41), 파워볼실시간 but they are 22nd on goal difference. The Championship relegates three teams from 22nd through 24th directly to League One (the third tier). Stoke City boosted their chances of staying up with Bae Jun-ho’s performance.
