Saudi Arabia’s top newspaper “Jang Hyun-soo contributed to Korea and diplomacy”

Jang Hyun-soo (32) received rave reviews for playing a positive role beyond that of a sports player on the stage of Saudi Arabia, which ranked first in the 2023-24 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) league rankings.

Saudi Arabian daily newspaper ‘Al Madina’ said on August 26, “We have maintained friendly and peaceful relations with Korea. It is impossible to tell you how many development projects we have successfully and faithfully carried out. “As a soccer player, Jang Hyun-soo was like that at Al Hilal,” the report said.

Founded in 1937, ‘Al Madina’ is the longest-running newspaper in Saudi Arabia. “Jang Hyun-soo performed exceptionally well in the defense line. “He not only did well himself, but he also covered up many of the mistakes of his fellow defenders.”

As a member of Al Hilal, Jang Hyun-soo won the 2019/2021 AFC Champions League, 2020-2022 Saudi Arabian First Division League, 2020/2023 Saudi Arabian Football Association Cup, and 2021 Saudi Arabian Super Cup.

At the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup, in which Al Hilal finished as runners-up, Jang Hyun-soo supported the best achievement in the club’s history as a full-time center back. Korea has been praised for its construction capabilities in Saudi Arabia since the 1970s.

‘Al Madina’ said, “Korea accounts for a large portion of Saudi Arabia’s desalination sector (reducing the salt content in sea water and turning it into fresh water). Jang Hyun-soo really tried desperately to defend Al Hilal. “He showed what a true soccer player is (in terms of professionalism),” he said, praising him.

Hyunsoo Jang is being treated for a benign tumor in the lymph glands at the King Faisal Hospital Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The MENA manager of global sports brand Adidas sent flowers to the hospital room.카지노사이트

MENA is a concept that unites the Middle East and North Africa. Al Hilal supports Jang Hyun-soo’s medical expenses through a non-profit foundation established for charity activities.

Jang Hyun-soo has a high status in Saudi Arabia, as he was expected to be a starting player for Al Hilal even after joining Kalidou Koulibaly (32, Senegal), one of the 2010s Africa Best 11 selected by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), until health problems were revealed.

‘Almadina’ said, “May God heal me. “Even though Jang Hyun-soo is a foreigner (who does not believe in Islam), it is not against Saudi Arabia’s orthodox customs to repay the loyalty and sincerity he showed as an Al Hilal player,” he said, praying for his recovery.
