It was the first time Koo Ja-cheol played in an official match since the match against Gangwon FC on July 20.

Koo played in only three of 38 K-League matches this season. He spent a long time in rehabilitation due to injury.

This is the story of Koo Ja-cheol, who announced his return to the ground in the final game of this season.

Q. I finished this season after the Daejeon match.

It's been a tough year. It's not been an easy season, both individually and as a team.

Q. At the end of this season, my contract with Jeju will expire.

There are many things I need to think about. There are things I need to discuss with people around me. I don't think I can talk about it clearly right now.

Q. How are you feeling.

Fans in Jeju say, "I'm looking forward to Koo Ja-cheol's return. When will he come back?" It was too long for me not to play. I feel so sorry for that. My muscles have been in bad shape since the second half of last season. I felt a lot that my muscles are not recovering as before. I think that's why I struggled more this season.

"I feel sorry for the fans. I had to show them how I played in the stadium, but I couldn't. It's too bad."

Q. It was my first appearance since the away game in Gangwon Province on July 20.

"I'm grateful to coach Kim Hak-beom and his teammates. Actually, I prepared hard to come back for the home game in Jeju. I couldn't achieve my goal because my muscles didn't keep working. You have to train to be able to play. I played in the final game of the season without training much. It was thanks to the consideration of the coach and his teammates. My teammates said, "(Koo) Ja-cheol, let's play together at the end of this season." I think I got a lot of courage from my teammates' words.

Q. Park Chu-young, who has worked together for a long time since he was a representative of different ages, had a dramatic final match. He has a deep relationship with Park. How did you see Park's performance in the match against Suwon FC.

It was Joo-young's last game. Of course, I watched it. Joo-young is one of the senior players I respect. Joo-young spent an eventful and 難 soccer life. I feel great as a younger brother because I think he finished the game happier than anyone else. Like my job. I watched the game and watched it as highlights. I want to say "I love you" to Joo-young.
