Can I love Daegu like this? Aside from the injury list, Cesinha bound for Jeju, gathered his hands in the stands to cheer

Jeju and Daegu are playing in the 37th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 23rd. They faced each other on the edge of the cliff. It is a game that can determine the direction of this season between the two teams, who have to get out of the danger of direct relegation.
Attention was drawn to whether Cesinha will participate in the game. Cesinha was unable to play in recent games due to his aggravated injury this season. Ahead of the match against Jeju, he even showed his injection fighting spirit. But my body couldn't keep up. He was excluded from the list because he was not allowed to play. Manager Kim Byung-soo said, `Although it has improved toward the back, the back of the knee and the injury sustained when playing against Suwon are hardly recovering. It's a situation where I can't even run. be doing one's best for treatment" he said.
It was the departure of the irreplaceable ace. Since joining in 2016, he has always been with Daegu. In 2016, he scored 11 goals and 8 assists in 36 K League 2 (second division) games, leading his team to K League 1. He did not fall into the glory and crisis of Daegu. In 2018, he took the lead in winning the first Korea Cup (formerly FA Cup) in Daegu, and Cesinha was the main character who escaped the crisis in the 2024 season promotion playoff. Therefore, Cesinha's absence was even more painful. Coach Kim said, `It's hard because there's no Cesinha, but I think we should overcome that difficult point by taking one more step.'
Cesinha, who did not travel to Jeju with the Daegu team, visited Jeju alone. I came wearing a hat to watch Daegu's game from the stands. I couldn't take my eyes off the stadium for a single moment and watched Daegu's game with my hands together.
