In this month's international competition window, Brazil swept South Korea 5-0. Castrop, a naturalized Korean midfielder with German and Korean descent, came on as a substitute in the second half, attracting the attention of the German media "Bild".
"Bild" wrote under the title "Dream turns into nightmare: Brazil delivers a heavy blow to Borussia Monchengladbach's Castrop": "Monchengladbach midfielder Castrop experienced a scene that many children dream of when they were playing street football or club youth training: representing the national team in the game against Brazil!
" However, judging from the results, this dream ended in a painful awakening: Castrop came on as a substitute in the 45th minute, but suffered a 0-5 defeat! But he will never forget this night, after he quickly established himself under Borussia Monchengladbach's acting coach Polanski and scored his first Bundesliga goal in the 4-6 win at Frankfurt. "
"Castrop said of himself: 'I am extremely ambitious, I love running and devote myself to fighting. Even when I encounter setbacks, I always keep moving forward. ’ As for the 2026 World Cup, he doesn’t need to worry at all, because the South Korean team has already locked in the qualification for the United States, Canada and Mexico World Cup finals.
