Koo Sung-yoon, who has been away from his starting position with only two games this season, has sought a new challenge. E-Land, who was looking for a goalkeeper with high-quality skills, was connected to Koo Sung-yoon. Koo Sung-yoon has been active in returning to Korea. However, he was blocked by director Cho Gwi-jae's opposition. This was because there was no second goalkeeper as much as Koo Sung-yoon. In the end, E-Land had to eat.
E-Land, who was suffering from goal anxiety, consistently contacted Koo Sung-yoon under the water. Koo Sung-yoon, who had a strong will to go to Korea, even hinted at giving up his remaining salary. In the end, coach Cho also raised his hand. Koo Sung-yoon decided to join E-Land's promotion challenge, although the amount is far below the amount he received in Japan.
Koo Sung-yoon "E-Land has been an interesting and interesting team since its inception. I thought it was a team with a high potential, so I really wanted to play someday, and that's the biggest reason why I decided to transfer." "Eland is a team that pursues aggressive football and has maintained a good performance this season with a lot of points. The goal is to be promoted unconditionally. I want to contribute to the team goal by minimizing runs at the back. As I've been taking care of my physical condition, I'll do my best to meet the fans' expectations"He expressed his determination.
