'Only Torn Man' Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Willan) is now perfectly revived.
Denmark's Super Liga announced the team of migration on its official channel on the 29th (Korea time). Among the best performers in the 13th round, Cho Kyu-sung was also proudly listed. He was selected as a striker in the 4-4-2 formation. Super Liga replaced Cho Kyu-sung's reason for selection, referring to his record of one goal, two shots, three tackles and three competitions.
Cho Kyu-sung scored his team's second goal in the 34th minute of the first half, leading 1-0 in the 13th round of Denmark's Super Liga in the 2025-2026 season against Fredericia at Monyasa Park in Fredericia, Denmark on the 26th. It was his fourth goal of the season. Amid Cho Kyu-sung's performance, Mitwillan won a huge 4-0 victory.
Cho Kyu-sung started and played his first full-time since returning from injury. Cho Kyu-sung played 90 minutes and recorded an 87% pass success rate, two effective shots, two final third passes, one recovery, 33% ground ball competition and 33% air ball competition.

Cho Kyu-sung is finally flapping his wings of resurrection after leaving the long tunnel. Cho Kyu-sung underwent a meniscus cartilage plate resection of his right knee after the end of the 2023-2024 season in May last year. It was a choice to make my body 100%. It was a relatively simple operation, and if normal, pre-season recovery was possible. But I was held back by bad luck. The surgical site was infected and complications were suffered. Although committed to treatment, recovery was slow. I lost as much as 12 kilograms. I couldn't even sleep properly because of the pain. In the end, he blew the entire 2024-2025 season.
But there was no giving up. Cho Kyu-sung shaved his eyebrows as well as his hair. It was a will to revive. Cho Kyu-sung finally got the reward of his bleeding training. He entered as a substitute on the 17th of last month and played a minute, making his first return game in 15 months. He gradually increased his playing time and even scored a goal. On the 18th, he played 32 minutes as a substitute in the match against Olborg at the Danish Cup, and scored a return shot. In the league game against Vibor, which was the previous game, he was replaced at the start of the second half and shook the net at the end of the game. After scoring in two consecutive games, he returned to the starting lineup and played full-time, returning to Cho Kyu-sung as we knew him.

In particular, there is a reason why the score on the day was meaningful. This is because it was an in-person match by Hong Myung-bo, the coach of the A national soccer team. Coach Hong is working on a final team piece ahead of this year's last friendly matches against Bolivia (14th) and Ghana (18th) next month. Cho Kyu-sung is also an indelible being. I flew to Denmark on the night of the 25th to see it with my own eyes.
Cho Kyu-sung has disappeared since he last played in the A-match in the second Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup in March last year. Coach Hong returned as the head coach of the A team for the first time in 10 years in July last year, but he had no relationship with Cho Kyu-sung due to injury. But the string didn't let go. Hong did not recruit Cho Kyu-sung last month. I was more worried. It was decided that there was no need to overdo it. "Cho Kyu-sung is now in the game, increasing his time and scoring points. It's a positive thing for the team. The player's knee condition is not yet long enough to be on a plane to prepare for the game. I didn't think it was appropriate now. If we prepare in a more stable situation, we will be able to return to the national team."

In the finals of the North-China World Cup, we have to set up camp in various combinations. The authentic 'targeted striker' is also a must. Coach Hong has inspected Joo Min-gyu (35, Daejeon), Oh Se-hoon (26, Machida), and Lee Ho-jae (25, Pohang). All of them were excluded from the two consecutive A matches in October. Son Heung-min (33, LA FC) and Oh Hyun-kyu (24, Genk) were alternately used as one-top players. We also need a bigger height. Cho Kyu-sung appeared like a comet with two goals in the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals.
With this day's performance, the green light was turned on for the return of the A national team. Coach Hong plans to make a final decision on whether to select Cho after comprehensively checking his knee condition through an interview with Cho Kyu-sung.
