“You should be able to see it.”

As of the 13th, Seoul is conducting the second winter training in preparation for the ‘Hanawon Q K League 1 2023’ in Kagoshima, Japan. Ko Yo-yeon, who suffered from an injury last season, is also sweating while training with the team.
Side midfielder Ko Yo-han can play both left and right, and can also play as a right-back, light wing, or central midfielder. In the 2018 season, he played left wing and two-top. He is a representative utility player with experience in all but goalkeeper, center back and left back.
In particular, they are called ‘romanticists’ on the ground by Seoul fans. He has a rough play style that fans of other teams may like or dislike, but it means a lot to Seoul fans. After joining Seoul in 2004, he has been active as a ‘warrior of red sword (Seoul uniform color)’ until his 20th season. He is a ‘one club man’ which is rare in modern football. His K-League career record is 360 games, 34 goals and 30 assists.
Seoul coach Ahn Ik-soo also praises him as the leader of the team, expressing himself as “Yohan hyung”. Last season, he was out for the season due to an early injury, but he recently signed a new contract and is preparing to play again.
Before leaving Kagoshima, Ko Yo-han met with Sports World and said, “I thought I would not have a major surgery until I retired, and I had been playing as a player, but after a sudden knee surgery, a major injury overlapped and it was difficult. At that time, he spent time with his family and seems to have found comfort with the support of his fans.” As much as he had a hard time with his injury, he made a good body and wants to show a better figure in front of the fans this year.”
He is good at individual performances, but he wants better team results. Go Yo-han said, “Last year, there were a lot of stories like ‘If I had Ko Yo-han, it would have been a little better’ and ‘I would have fought in the stadium with more fighting spirit’. In addition, this year is just the 20th year of professionalism, so the resolution is more different.” “(Ki) Sung-yong, (B) Sang-ho, Hwang Eui-jo and other experienced players are trying to help the team. If we join forces with such players, we will be able to go to a more Seoul-like position this year.”
Plans for his retirement could also be heard. When asked if he would be able to see him taking off his soccer boots in Seoul as a one-club man, he laughed, saying, “I will be able to see it,” and added, “I always think I should retire in Seoul. However, I will try to take my career as a player longer so that I can retire as late as possible.” “As a player, I will do my best to help the team and make the fans smile. Furthermore, I will do my best to show you advances to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL).”
