I have no regrets about my choice.”
The first step of Cho Kyu-seong (25), who dreams of playing in the European big leagues, was to Denmark. He builds a new nest at FC Mittjylland (Denmark), where he has long wanted himself. He could be a stepping stone to entering the big leagues, but he rather chose the ‘adventure number’ that could not rule out the possibility of becoming more difficult.
Cho Kyu-seong, who was negotiating a transfer with Meatwillan, left the country on the 9th. He plans to sign his contract after conducting a medical test in Denmark. It is necessary to coordinate details, etc., but the possibility of a transfer failure at this stage is slim. According to local media, his transfer fee is 2.6 million pounds (4.4 billion won).
Jeonbuk Hyundai also made the transfer of Cho Kyu-sung virtually official. On this day, through the club’s social media (SNS), he announced his breakup with Cho Kyu-sung, saying, “I hope that I can always be resilient in front of any challenge with the experience and memories I have accumulated here.” After finishing the game the day before, Cho Kyu-seong also said, “I will engrave Jeonbuk in my heart. It will not be an easy challenge, but I will believe in my fans and move forward.”
Cho Kyu-sung has been trying to advance to Europe after emerging as a top star through the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. In addition to the K-League scoring title in the 2022 season, love calls from Europe followed. Specific transfer rumors such as Mainz (Germany) Watford (England 2nd division) and Celtic (Scotland) were also raised.
Cho Kyu-seong struggled with the timing of his transfer. The Jeonbuk club persuaded him to transfer in the summer, and Cho Kyu-seong also delayed the transfer because he judged that his physical condition was not at its best. Fans were very sorry for the postponement of the transfer, given that Mainz strongly wanted Cho Kyu-sung last winter, and that it was an opportunity to go directly to the European big leagues.
Concerns became reality. There were no more love calls from big league teams for Cho Kyu-sung. There were love calls from other clubs, such as the England Championship (Part 2), but Mittwillan was the only ‘final offer’ that the Jeonbuk club officially set the negotiating table for. Cho Kyu-seong, who was waiting for another offer, eventually chose to transfer to Meatwillan.
The dominant reaction is that it is a choice that is still difficult to understand. This is because after missing the opportunity to go directly to the big leagues earlier, he eventually chose to transfer to a league that ranked 17th in the UEFA league rankings. There are even voices saying that it would have been better to continue playing in Jeonbuk and wait for an offer from a better team.
Anyway, for Cho Kyu-seong, who decided to move to Denmark himself, the best scenario would be to go up to a higher league by playing an active role in Mittjylland. The ideal course of action is to go to a higher league step by step while being recognized for his competitiveness. There is also an analysis that it may not be bad in terms of European adaptability.메이저도메인
The problem is when you can’t show a remarkable level of activity. Struggling even in the Danish league will leave a huge stain on your career. Of course, it could be a ‘fatal wound’ in that he is at the age of entering his prime as a striker. As the reaction of tilting the head is a bigger choice than receiving applause, the future move is always inevitably attracting attention. The answer to the number of adventures thrown by himself is ultimately up to Cho Kyu-seong.
