How could this happen.

Choi Ji-mook, who suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament this time last year and has devoted himself to rehabilitation throughout the season, suffered another cruciate ligament injury in his return to the starting lineup for the first time in a year. It is even the same part.

Coincidentally, Choi Ji-mook's first cruciate ligament injury collapsed in the first round of the match against Chungnam Asan FC at home in March last year, and the game against Chungnam Asan at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 15th. He played as a starter but was injured and replaced.

Choi Ji-mook started as a left back in the fourth round of the "Hana Bank K League 2 2025" home game against Chungnam Asan at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 15th, but he was replaced by Lee Sang-min early in the second half due to a ruptured cruciate ligament during the game.

This game was Choi Ji-mook's return to the starting lineup.

Choi Ji-mook, who suffered a major injury in the cruciate ligament and internal knee ligament ruptured in the match against Asan, South Chungcheong Province, on March 3 last year, worked hard to recover for a year in preparation for the season out. At the time, Suwon considered Choi Ji-mook as its main force, but due to the unexpected injury, it had to support Choi's rehabilitation with tears in its eyes.

After a year of rehabilitation, Choi joined a winter training camp and hoisted himself up. After confirming Choi's condition, coach Byun Sung-hwan replaced him in the third round match against Seoul E-Land FC. Although Choi performed for a short period of time, he showed good performance in his own way, raising expectations for the next match.

Manager Byun Sung-hwan was also considering using Choi Ji-mook. "It was our plan to use (Choi) Ji-mook at the match against E-Land for the next game," Byun said before the match against Asan, South Chungcheong Province. "Ji-mook played an official game for the first time in a year. I watched this game when he was substituted."

However, Choi suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament, which forced him to leave for an extended period of time. Choi's injury feels all the more regrettable because both the players and the club carefully prepared the return.

Choi Ji-mook reportedly felt uncomfortable in his legs during the game, but he played the game as he did because he could not imagine that his cruciate ligament would be broken.

Choi Ji-mook said on his SNS on the 18th, "I suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in the league's opening game last year and suffered another cruciate ligament rupture a year later in the league's home opening game," adding, "I'm sorry I couldn't help the team and I couldn't help."

After the game, Choi Ji-mook visited manager Byun Sung-hwan and cried a lot, and Byun, who had experience of rupturing the cruciate ligament when he was active, also sympathized with Choi Ji-mook's sadness and comforted him. Coach Byun had surgery in 2005 when he was playing for Ulsan Hyundai Tiger (currently Ulsan HD) due to ruptured left anterior cruciate ligament. 메이저사이트
