Sport nationYANG HYUN-JUN’S GIRLFRIEND CREDITED FOR HIS RECENT FORM BY CELTIC BOSS BRENDAN RODGERS
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed an unexpected factor behind Yang Hyun-jun’s recent resurgence in form. According to Rodgers, the South Korean winger’s girlfriend has been the catalyst for his improved performances on the pitch.
Yang’s impressive cameo off the bench against St Mirren, where he scored two goals and provided an assist, has been the latest highlight in his upturn in form. Rodgers believes that Yang’s personal life has played a significant role in his transformation. “It has just been time with Yang,” Rodgers said. “His girlfriend is here at the moment. I said to the guys, let’s see if we can keep her here and get that visa sorted.”
Rodgers’ tongue-in-cheek comment suggests that Yang’s girlfriend has had a profound impact on his mental state and overall well-being. The Celtic boss is keen to keep Yang in a positive frame of mind, and if that means ensuring his girlfriend remains in the country, then so be it.
Yang’s recent performances have been a welcome boost for Celtic, with the winger scoring five goals in his last nine appearances. His match-winning display against St Mirren was particularly impressive, with Yang’s pace and skill causing problems for the opposition defense.
Rodgers was full of praise for Yang’s work-rate and dedication, highlighting the winger’s ability to make a significant impact off the bench. “Everyone knows he’s in a really good mood and has been for a while,” Rodgers said.
As Celtic continue to push for success in the Scottish Premiership, Yang’s form will be crucial in their bid for glory. With his girlfriend seemingly playing a key role in his recent resurgence, Rodgers will be hoping to keep Yang in a positive frame of mind for the remainder of the season.
