[City Ground (Nottingham, England) = This is a sports shipbuilding dotcom reporter] It was a precious match for Cho Kyu-sung and Lee Han-beom (Mitt Willan). It proved the upgrade.
Mitwillan won the second round of the Europa League (UEL) League phase of the 2025-2026 season against Nottingham Forest at Nottingham City Ground on the afternoon of the 2nd (local time). Cho Kyu-sung started and played 66 minutes. Lee Han-beom came out as a substitute and played for about 25 minutes.
It was a blood and flesh game for both players. Both players first faced a big league team. In the meantime, while in Mitwillan, he had no chance to compete in Europe. In the case of last season, Cho Kyu-sung was not able to play at all due to injury. Lee was only on the bench for the entire Europa League game last season. Therefore, it was the first game against Nottingham between the two players against a big league team.
Cho Kyu-sung appeared to enjoy the game. I didn't feel intimidated against the Premier League defenders. He helped the team by working with his body throughout the game. In particular, he was not pushed back at all against Murillo, who is Nottingham's main centre-back and mental pillar. Rather, he created a watershed in the game by leading to Murillo's injury.
Lee Han-beom also showed good performance against Premier League strikers after being replaced. He responded smartly against Chris Wood, who is a level in physicality. Using offside traps, they put Wood in trouble or neutralized him.
Their experience is expected to be a great help to Korean soccer as well. Lee Han-beom will join the national team and play an A match in October. He is expected to verify his experience against Brazil and Paraguay. Although Cho Kyu-sung was not selected this time, he can help the national team in the future if he shows his current appearance.
