Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Willan) is back.

South Korea's national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, is playing a friendly match against Bolivia at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 14th.

It was in the 30th minute of the second half when South Korea was leading 1-0. The stadium was rocking. It was because of the return of Cho Kyu-sung, who stood tall as an icon of human victory.




Cho Kyu-sung took a full rest last season due to an injury. He overcame a difficult rehabilitation process and returned to the ground. In addition, he returned to the national team after 18 months.

Coach Hong did not select Cho last month, explaining, `So far, Cho Kyu-sung's knee condition is not a time to prepare for the game on a plane for a long time.'

November was different again. Coach Hong selected Cho Kyu-sung this time. He said "The constitution seems to have recovered a lot to some extent in terms of the physical aspect. However, it is not yet complete in terms of the sense of play. I selected him because I thought it would be too late next March, and that the national team should play a role in helping the player at this time. I hope you understand that it's a step to get rid of the gloomy times and find a good condition"I think you know everything about the characteristics of the constitutionality. But I don't want you to expect too much this time."




Cho Kyu-sung, who started the game on the bench, took the ground in place of Son Heung-min (LAFC) in the 31st minute of the second half. Fans welcomed Cho Kyu-sung with a big round of applause.
