Hong Myung-bo, the head coach of the South Korean national soccer team, said that Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Willan), a striker with a poor sense of the game, needed patience, but Cho Kyu-sung appealed that he did not need patience with his 14-minute performance.
Cho Kyu-sung scored an additional goal in the 42nd minute of the second half with Son Heung-min (LA FC) leading 1-0 in an A-match friendly match against Bolivia at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 14th. Cho Kyu-sung, who was replaced by Son Heung-min in the 31st minute of the second half, did not miss a single chance. From the right, a cross that Kim Moon-hwan (Daejeon) stabbed into the door was deflected off the opponent's defender's foot and touched Cho Kyu-sung's foot, who was running near the goal area. The next move could not have been calmer. Cho Kyu-sung, who blocked the opponent's defender who tried to clear the ball with his body and secured shooting space, cut the net with a left-footed shot to avoid the opponent's goalkeeper who ran out.
Cho Kyu-sung, who stopped his long-term injury and returned after a year and eight months, scored a comeback goal in just 11 minutes. Cho Kyu-sung's A-match record increased to 40 games and 10 goals after a long wait.

Cho Kyu-sung's advantage was well revealed in the scoring process. Cho Kyu-sung's ceremony was also like Cho Kyu-sung. Cho Kyu-sung, who scored in the 2022 Qatar World Cup group match against Ghana and stole the hearts of female fans around the world by winking at the broadcast camera, first grabbed the national flag stuck in the chest of his uniform and roared. He couldn't control his emotions and screamed.
Not only striker Bae Joon-ho, who was nearby, but also defender Kim Min-jae, who was far away, rushed to where Cho Kyu-sung celebrated. Since the round of 16 at the Qatar Asian Cup against Saudi Arabia in January last year, he sincerely congratulated him on his first score in a year and 10 months, giving a deep impression.
The next ceremony was white rice. Jo Kyu-sung, who remained alone, held the flag of Corner Flack, which read 'Reds' beyond the limits, with one hand and the other arm extended to the side. It appeared to be a gesture that signaled that `I'm back.' South Korea, which saw the effect of Cho Kyu-sung's return, defeated Bolivia 2-0 and won two straight A matches.
