National soccer team player Oh Hyun-gyu traveled to Qatar as a reserve at last year’s World Cup, and now he’s confidently challenging for a starting spot on the Klinsmann’s team.
Oh Hyun-gyu, who left Suwon Samseong for Celtic in Scotland in January, has ‘grown by storm’ in just half a year.
He scored seven goals to help Celtic win three titles despite not having enough time to settle in, and in a trial against Uruguay in March, he really impressed Klinsmann with a powerful one-timer, albeit one that was disallowed for offside.

Oh shared Vento’s journey at last year’s World Cup in Qatar as the 27th Taegeuk Warrior, a reserve member instead of the 26 regular members.
Although he helped the team reach the round of 16 without a number, he was disappointed not to play, which makes him even more eager for next January’s Asian Cup in Qatar, which will be held at the same venue.
