As soon as Cho Kyu-seong was substituted in the last game against Uruguay, he made an intense World Cup debut by striking a left-footed shot without hesitation and actively fighting.
He played for about 20 minutes, and immediately after the game, a lot of attention was poured out.
The number of SNS followers, which was 20,000 just two days ago, has increased to a whopping 580,000, and explosive reactions from fans not only in Korea but around the world are continuing.
Cho Kyu-seong made his presence known by scoring two goals in the Tokyo Olympics qualifiers two years ago, and then enlisted in the Sangmu last year and grew rapidly.
His muscle mass increased his size by 8 kg, and he emerged as a top goal scorer with a stocky physique that threatened opponents' defense.
He was the top scorer in the K-League this season while serving as the back-up striker for Hwang Eui-jo at Bentoho.
Now, Cho Kyu-sung is only drawing the moment he hits the net on the stage of his dreams.
[Cho Kyu-seong/soccer team striker: There is a sense of pressure, but I think I enjoy it a little more.
(If I score a goal), I think I should do a knee slide and a signature ceremony.]
With Hwang Eui-jo's sense of the game waning, Cho Kyu-seong is emerging as the starting card in the match against Ghana.
