Some had thought the worst. Because since his last Qatari experience, at Al Duhail, the North Korean striker Han Kwang-Son had disappeared into thin air . The hypotheses had alternated as the weeks went by, without anyone managing to clarify the mystery of the disappearance of the class of '98.

In the meantime, two years have passed, and the name of the baby prodigy who had bewitched Sardinia is back in world football. Tonight, on the occasion of the match between Syria and North Korea , he will also be there.

Quick and technical, Han was the first North Korean in the history of Serie A, wearing the Cagliari shirt. A week after his debut for the rossoblù, still eighteen years old, he also scored his first goal, against Torino. An overwhelming start, which shortly afterwards convinced Juventus to focus on him.

Maybe it's too early to say that his career may truly be at a new beginning, but at least you can rest assured that, at 25, it's not too late for Han Kwang-Son.
