Union's Joker Jeong Strikes Again Against Favorite Opponent VfB - Wooyeong Jeong leads Union Berlin’s charge ahead of Dortmund showdown
Wooyeong Jeong is gearing up for Union Berlin's next test after a strong showing in their Bundesliga kickoff. The South Korean midfielder contributed to a 1-0 triumph against his former club, VfB Stuttgart, under coach Steffen Baumgart. Now, his focus shifts to Saturday's home clash with Borussia Dortmund.
Jeong played a pivotal role in Union Berlin's win over Stuttgart last weekend. His potential goal, blocked by goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, earned praise from Baumgart, who lauded it as ‘the perfect finish’. After the match, Jeong acknowledged Nübel's save and shared a friendly moment with the keeper.
The 26-year-old, who joined Union permanently this summer after a loan spell, chose not to celebrate out of respect for Stuttgart. He has now scored four times against his old side in 29 appearances for Union. With three straight draws before the Stuttgart win, Jeong emphasized the need for more victories. The team now turns its attention to Dortmund, who visit the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CET.
Union Berlin will look to build on their opening-day success when they face Dortmund. Jeong's form and experience against top sides could prove crucial in securing another positive result. The match will be broadcast live on Sky.
