Reporter Jang Bo-in = It is predicted that national striker Hwang Eui-jo (31, Olympiacos) will return to professional soccer K-League 1 for a while.
An official from FC Seoul said to Yonhap News on the 2nd, “It is true that we are negotiating with Hwang Eui-jo.”
Hwang Eui-jo, who moved to Nottingham Forest (England) from Girondin Bordeaux (France) in August of last year, immediately transferred to Olympiacos under the same owner, but is struggling without finding a place.
Wearing the Olympiacos uniform, Hwang Ui-jo appeared in 12 official games, including 5 regular league games in Greece and 6 games in the UEFA Europa League, and only scored one assist.
His position narrowed as he failed to show his presence, and in the league, he last played 8 rounds with PAOK on October 18 last year, and has not been on the list for 12 consecutive matches.
However, it was difficult for Hwang Ui-jo to find a new team to play in Europe.
This is because, according to FIFA’s rules on player status and transfer, players can register with up to three clubs during a season, and only play official matches with two clubs during this period.
Hwang Eui-jo has already played for Bordeaux and Olympiacos this season.
The way to play in the third team is to find a league that runs on a spring festival (spring to fall) rather than a chuchun festival (fall to the following spring) like in Europe.
FIFA has made an exception so that a third team can participate in the match in the case of transferring to a team with a different league schedule, that is, in a situation where a player plays in the Chunchun Festival League and then transfers to a team that plays the Spring and Autumn League.
As a result, the American, Korean, and Japanese leagues that implement the Spring and Autumn Festival emerged as Hwang Eui-jo’s next destination. 바카라사이트
