International career[]

Cho was selected for the university students' national team for the 1976 World University Football Championship in Uruguay. South Korea advanced to the final after defeating Brazil, Chile and the Netherlands in the championship. In the final against Paraguay, he won a crucial penalty, and Paraguay gave up the match after two Paraguayan players who didn't accept the judgement were sent off for hitting the referee.[4]

Cho played for the senior national team in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Cho contributed to South Korea's draw by providing an assist against Bulgaria, but he scored a fatal own goal in the last match that South Korea lost 3–2 to Italy.

In the 1986 Asian Games, Cho consecutively scored team's first goals in the semi-finals and the final. South Korea won a gold medal in the tournament and Cho selected the final match against Saudi Arabia as the best match in his international career.[5]

Style of play[]

Cho is regarded as one of the greatest South Korean central midfielders of all time. Nicknamed the "Computer Linker", Cho showed accurate passing skill and intelligent decision just like a computer calculated.
