Jo Gyu-seong, Who Completed his Military Service

Jo Gyu-seong, Who Completed his Military Service, Said to AG Kim, "I'm Proud... It Would have been Nice to have Served in the Military"



Jokes on players including teammate Lee Han-beom... “I returned from military service.”

Jo Kyu-seong joked to the athletes who won gold at the Hangzhou Asian Games, including teammate Lee Han-beom (Midtjylland), saying, "It would have been nice to experience the military once."

At a press conference held before the national soccer team training at the Paju National Training Center (NFC) on the afternoon of the 10th, Cho Gyu-seong said, "I served in the military.

It would have been nice for (the players) to experience it once, but I am proud to have won another gold medal." He said. 카지노사이트원

22 players, including Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), won the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games under the guidance of coach Hwang Sun-hong.

Accordingly, athletes who had been concerned about ‘military issues’ were able to enjoy the greatest reward: military service benefits that come with a gold medal.

If you win a gold medal in this competition, you will serve as an art and sports agent.

You must receive basic military training, engage in the sport for 34 months, and complete 544 hours of volunteer work.

Jo Gyu-seong, who served in the military at Gimcheon Sangmu, a military athletics unit, laughed, saying, “I think the month or so (of training camp) is just ‘field study.’”

Cho Gyu-seong, who transferred to Danish professional soccer team Midtjylland this summer, now has to endure long travel times and the fatigue that comes with it whenever national team training takes place in Korea.

Jo Gyu-seong said, "This is my first time adjusting to the time difference (due to the national team convening), and that part is difficult.

Even now, I slept in a bit, and I feel once again how great the overseas hyungs are."

Cho Gyu-seong, who considered the move to Midtjylland a “100% good decision,” said, “A lot of people say it’s disappointing because it’s in the Danish league, but I have no regrets at all.

“Because I think it goes step by step,” he said emphatically.

He continued, “The Danish league also requires a lot of physical aspects.

"It's similar to the K-League in that respect, so I think I'm adapting well," he said.

However, he added, "For me, the five major leagues (England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain) are places I 'of course want to go to.'

“I have lived that dream,” he said, adding, “If there is no motivation, there is no reason to play soccer.”

Now, Cho Kyu-sung is responsible for Klinsmann’s ‘front line.’

The national team led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann will begin the Seoul World Cup at 8 p.m. on the 13th. Four days after playing a friendly match with Tunisia at the stadium, they will face Vietnam at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 17th.

Cho Gyu-seong, who became a 'rising star' by scoring two goals with just a header in the group stage match against Ghana in the Qatar World Cup held last year, is defeated by Klinsmann. Since taking office as head coach, he has been selected as a front-line striker.

Jo Gyu-seong said, "They require a lot of physical aspects from me.

"I think I'm different from other players in that respect," he said.

"I have to fight harder and protect the ball.

"That's the coach's order," he said.

He added, "The coach manages the players really well.

“The best thing is being able to play the game with 100% physical condition,” he added.

Although Cho Kyu-sung is considered important by Coach Klinsmann, he sees himself as not a ‘fixed-up’ member of the national team for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup to be held in January next year.

Cho Kyu-sung said, I feel like there is competition every time I come to the national team.

I don't know when I will be selected again.

“It’s not strange at all even if I’m not selected,” he said.

“I’ve never let my guard down for even a moment.”
