[스타데일리뉴스=김나나 기자] Coupang Play will exclusively broadcast the entire quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup live on January 11th and 12th. The Carabao Cup is an annual football tournament held in England and has been broadcast on Coupang Play since August 2022.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Southampton (above Premier League) and Charlton Athletic (third division) advanced to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals this season. In particular, Hwang Hee-chan’s team, Wolverhampton Wanderers, called ‘K-Bull’, will face Nottingham Forest on January 12th at 4:45 am Korean time.
Hwang Hee-chan led the team to advance to the quarter-finals by inducing 1 assist and 1 PK in the last 16 rounds, leaving a strong first impression on new coach Hollen Lopetegi and making a proper impression. In the FA Cup match held last weekend, he even succeeded in scoring his first goal this season, so his performance in the quarterfinals once morest Nottingham Forest is more anticipated.
On the other hand, extraordinary attention is also being paid to the match of Charlton Athletic, a member of the third division, facing Manchester United, the ‘giant’. Charlton Athletic, the only non-Premier League surviving team among the teams in the quarterfinals, has recently shown a performance that exceeds expectations with a steady rise, so it is not easy to predict the outcome.
