Park Seung-ho, Returned Early Due to Resentment

Akbari' Park Seung-ho of Incheon "Returned Early Due to Resentment... Goal of 30 Games"



Ankle fracture at U-20 World Cup... “I will show Coach Kim Eun-joong that I have grown to the next level”

Weight lifting 3 times a day… “I received advice from director Cho Seong-hwan that I should ‘let it go.’”

“After I got hurt in the World Cup, there was talk that it wouldn’t work out.

I felt resentful.

Thanks to that, I came back quickly." 카지노사이트위키

The secret to Incheon United striker Park Seung-ho (21), who returned home early from last year's FIFA U-20 World Cup due to an ankle fracture, was able to return to the game miraculously quickly.

Park Seung-ho left Gyeongnam on the 16th.

At the K-League winter training media camp held at the Crown Hotel in Changwon, Park Seung-ho was proud of himself, saying, "I hurt my ankle in the U-20 World Cup, so it hurt physically and mentally, but I came back in just 100 days."

Park Seung-ho said in May of last year.

He participated as a member of Kim Eun-joong in the FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Argentina and scored a chasing goal against Honduras in the second match of Group F, but broke his right ankle shortly after and it was expected that it would take about 5 to 6 months before he could return to the field.

Park Seung-ho, who felt resentful of some concerns that he would no longer be able to develop his skills as a player after his injury, decided to 'show how far he can go' and focused only on rehabilitation, including weight training.

A thrilling World Cup appearance, a gap of over 3 months due to injury, and a K-League debut goal and MVP of the round upon his return. Park Seung-ho's 2023 was truly like a roller coaster.

In the process, Park Seung-ho gained confidence as a World Cup stage scorer and a strong mentality.

Regarding the fact that Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City) was the first member of Kim Eun-joong's U-20 national team to advance overseas, he expressed his greed by saying, "Of course I'm jealous.

I want to go there too," and then said, "The reality is that we have to work harder in the face of evil," and expressed good intentions.

He said that he uses competition as motivation.

Park Seung-ho, who scored 1 goal in 9 K-League games last season, set his goal for the 2024 season to be 'play in more than 30 games and score more than 10 attack points.'

Park Seung-ho said, “Because I was a rookie last season, other teams may not have known much about me, but this season, my second year in the K-League, they will have secured data about me,” and added, “I will prepare better as my opponent knows me.”

He burned his fighting spirit.

The vacancy created by Hernández's move to Jeonbuk could be an opportunity for Park Seung-ho.

Previously, Incheon coach Cho Seong-hwan said, "I will try to demonstrate my skill in management with abundant midfield resources.

I have multiple resources such as Park Seung-ho, Song Si-woo, and Kim Bo-seop, and if I cannot score with my individual ability, I will score goals with my team pattern" announced the plan.

Park Seung-ho is also showing his desire to participate in the game to his heart's content.

Accordingly, there was a rumor that the Incheon coaching staff had issued a 'exercise ban' to the motivated Park Seung-ho.

Park Seung-ho, who smiled awkwardly and said he did not know exactly what was said to the coaches, said, "I lift weights three times a day, in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and the weight room is located in front of a place where the coaching staff often go, so the coach always sees it."

“I think he was worried that adding weights to team training would actually affect his physical condition,” he said sheepishly.

It is said that he also received affectionate advice from Coach Cho, who was concerned about his excessive motivation.

He said that Coach Cho's message was that along with the desire to do well, you must also know how to let go, and that if you pay attention to small but basic passes and shots one by one, the game will go better.

Park Seung-ho smiled and said, “I guess my greed to do well seemed big,” and then said with a satisfied expression, “I think I’m putting it down little by little and I’m seeing good scenes like last year.”

Coach Kim Eun-joong, who led the U-20 World Cup, was appointed as the head coach of Suwon FC ahead of the 2024 season, and now meets his mentor as his enemy.

Coincidentally, Incheon will clash with Suwon FC from the opening game.

Park Seung-ho expressed his complex emotions, saying, “At the end of last year, the U-20 members gathered together for a dinner party, and Coach Kim told us that he was glad that he returned quickly.”

He added, “I think I would feel aggrieved if I saw him as the coach of the opposing team at the stadium.”

Park Seung -ho soon made up his mind, saying, "A professional is a professional.

I plan to remain calm and do my best.

I want to prove to the coach that I have grown to a whole new level, which is different from what I did during the World Cup."

Park Seung-ho said, "Still, (if I score a goal) there will be a ceremony."

“Maybe I should restrain myself a bit,” he pondered happily.

The Winner of the K-League 1 Opening Match is Hong Myung-bo

THE WINNER OF THE K-LEAGUE 1 OPENING MATCH IS HONG MYUNG-BO




The Winner of the K-League 1 Opening Match ‘Best Friend Match’ is Hong Myung-bo… “An Important Victory”

Hong Myung-bo: “We overcame the pressure of the East Coast derby”

“We got an important win in a big game.” 온라인카지노

The victory in the ‘best friend coach’ match in the opening game of the professional soccer Hana Bank K-League 1 2024 went to coach Hong Myung-bo, who leads Ulsan HD.

Ulsan, led by coach Hong, defeated Pohang Steelers, led by coach Tae-ha Park, at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 1st.

In the opening game of the first round of this season’s K-League 1, they won 1-0 thanks to Ataru’s winning goal in the 6th minute of the second half.

The opening game on this day had enough box-office elements to attract the attention of fans in many ways.

First of all, Ulsan was the K-League 1 champion last year, and Pohang was the winner of the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup, so the ‘champion match’ was the biggest topic of the day’s game.

In addition, Ulsan and Pohang were rival teams that had been playing the ‘East Coast Derby’.

The relationship between the two teams’ command towers also emerged as a new ‘point to watch’.

Ulsan coach Hong and Pohang coach Park are famous for being close friends in the soccer world.

Coach Park’s birthday is early, but he and Coach Hong, who was born in 1969, formed a close relationship with him by shining on the professional stage at the same time, and they both lit up the K-League stage as Pohang’s ‘one-club men’.

Coach Park wore the Pohang uniform from 1991 to 2001, and Coach Hong played from 1992 to 2002, just one year later, and were both inducted into the ‘Hall of Fame’ selected by the Pohang club.

New Head of the Football Association's Power Strengthening Committee

Who is the New Head of the Football Association's Power Strengthening Committee?... "Need for Fresh People"

The national team is scheduled to be convened on March 11th... Lee Young-pyo, Lee Im-saeng, Jeong Hae-seong, etc.

“We need a different card.

Blood transfusions outside of the Football Association should also be considered."

The Korea Football Association, which dismissed coach Jurgen Klinsmann, is concentrating on selecting a new head of the National Team Strengthening Committee, which will lead the process of selecting a new national team head coach. Korea Football Association President

Chung Mong-gyu announced the dismissal of Coach Klinsmann on the 16th, calling for a new strength strengthening.

Along with the composition of the committee, the appointment of a new chairperson was promised. 바카라사이트

Coach Klinsmann's appointment process was led by Michael Müller (Germany), chairman of the Power Strengthening Committee.

Chairman Müller, who took over as head of the Strengthening Committee in January of last year, was in charge of selecting a successor to coach Paulo Bento, who parted ways with Korea after the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and chose coach Klinsmann.

Coach Klinsmann led the German national team from 2004 to 2006, and was ultimately selected as the leader to lead the Taegeuk Warriors despite the assessment that he had not achieved any significant results except for achieving third place in the 2006 German World Cup.

After taking office, Coach Klinsmann failed to properly fulfill his promise to live in Korea and was shunned by fans as he failed to bring his soccer colors to the national team.

In the end, Coach Klinsmann was eliminated in the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, which he aimed to win, and not only did he fail to properly maintain the team's organizational skills, but it was also revealed that there were physical clashes between national team players, and he did not even last a year in office. He was fired.

As Coach Klinsmann was dismissed, Chairman Müller of the Power Strengthening Committee, who appointed Coach Klinsmann, also resigned, and the Football Association is now in a situation where it must hasten the formation of a new Power Strengthening Committee.

With the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2026 World Cup qualifier against Thailand (home on March 21, away on March 26) just over a month away, the appointment of a head coach to lead the national team is critical.

The national team will be convened on March 18th and begin preparations for the match against Thailand.

As the selection of the national team's head coach is the responsibility of the Strengthening Committee, the Football Association is contemplating the appointment of a new chairman.

Only when a power reinforcement committee is formed can a decision be made on whether to play the March international match under a 'temporary command tower' system or to quickly select a new official command tower.

However, in a situation where there is not enough physical time to select a new, thoroughly verified head coach, it is highly likely that the A-match will be played in March with a temporary head coach in place.

If we are pressed for time, the Football Association may end up in the ‘B’ position in negotiations with a new manager candidate.

In order to select candidates for a new head coach, the priority is to select a novel power strengthening committee chairman who can satisfy the expectations and sentiments of domestic soccer fans.

Currently, names such as soccer commentator Lee Young-pyo, soccer association technology development committee chairman Lee Im-saeng, and soccer association competition committee chairman Jeong Hae-seong are being floated as candidates for the chairman of the power enhancement committee both inside and outside the soccer association.

A soccer player who served as a member of the Power Strengthening Committee said, “The chairman of the Power Strengthening Committee needs a different card.”

He added, “You need to select someone who is fresh when you feel it from the outside.

Not only is expertise in soccer necessary, but also the ability to communicate with members of the Power Strengthening Committee.” “

We must also have English speaking skills in preparation for the arrival of foreign coaches,” he emphasized.

An official from the Football Association also explained, “Considering the national team convocation schedule in March, a new power strengthening committee chairman must be selected within one to two weeks at the latest,” adding, “Discussions are continuing internally.”

Kim Woo-min, World Swimming Medal Visible

Kim Woo-min, World Swimming Medal Visible... 400m Freestyle, 3rd Place, Advanced to Finals

Passed the preliminaries with a time of 3 minutes 45.14 seconds... Early morning on the 12th, final 'reverse race' for medals

Kim Woo-min (22, Gangwon Provincial Office), a Korean mid- and long-distance swimmer, succeeded in advancing to the finals of the men's 400m freestyle at the World Championships for the third time in a row.

Kim Woo-min recorded a time of 3 minutes 45.14 seconds in the men's 400m freestyle preliminaries at the 2024 Qatar Doha International Aquatics Federation World Championships held at the Aspire Dome in Doha, Qatar on the 11th.

Ranked 3rd among 56 participants in the preliminary round. 온라인카지노

Kim Woo-min, who competed in Group 6, the last group of the preliminaries, showed a world record pace of 1 minute 50.44 seconds until the 200m section.

However, he fell behind little by little starting from the 250m section, eventually losing first place to Elijah Winnington (Australia) and finishing in second place.

Winnington arrived in 3 minutes 44.37 seconds and took first place overall in the preliminaries, and Lucas Martens (Germany), the bronze medalist at last year's Fukuoka Games, took second place in 3 minutes 44.77 seconds.

Kim Woo-min succeeded in advancing to the finals for the first time in this event at the 2022 Budapest Games and placed 6th, and last year at the Fukuoka Games he advanced to the finals and placed 5th.

Kim Woo-min will attempt to win his medal in the finals, which will be held at 1 a.m. on the 12th, Korean time.

Since he advanced to the finals with the highest personal ranking in the World Championship preliminaries, his chances are greater than ever.

Last year's Fukuoka Games runner-up and Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Ahmed Hafnauwi (Tunisia) was eliminated from this competition in 17th place in the preliminary round, beating out one competitor.

Kim Woo-min is an athlete who has now reached world-class level in the 400m freestyle, which was Park Tae-hwan's main event.

At last year's Fukuoka competition, he succeeded in advancing to the finals by finishing 6th overall with a time of 3 minutes 44.52 seconds in the preliminaries, and then improved his ranking by one place with a time of 3 minutes 43.92 seconds in the finals.

At the Hangzhou Asian Games, he won three gold medals by winning the 400m and 800m freestyle and the 800m relay.

Many of the world's top athletes have announced that they will not participate in the Doha Games due to the Paris Olympics to be held in five months, but the situation is somewhat different in the 400m freestyle.

Among the first to fourth place finishers at last year's Fukuoka Games, gold medalist Samuel Short (Australia) is the only one who did not participate in this competition.

Swimming media outlet 'Swimswam' predicted that Kim Woo-min would take 5th place in the 400m freestyle at this competition.

Kim Woo-min, whose ultimate goal is the Olympic podium, is to break his record of 3 minutes 43.92 seconds in Doha.

If you can stand on the podium, a medal at the Paris Olympics will be within sight.

The last World Championships medal in this event by a Korean athlete was won by Park Tae-hwan in 2011.

At the time, Park Tae-hwan stood at the top of the podium, beating Sun Yang (China) with a record of 3 minutes and 42.04 seconds.

Shin Tae-yong, Who Stopped in the Round of 16

Asian Cup Shin Tae-yong, Who Stopped in the Round of 16, Said, "Playing Against Korea in the Quarterfinals was still a Dream"

“A match against Korea in the Asian Cup quarterfinals was still a dream.”

Although the team was eliminated by losing by 4 points, Indonesian national soccer team coach Shin Tae-yong finished the challenge with a smile.

The Indonesian national soccer team, led by Coach Shin, lost 0-4 to Australia in the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup held at Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 28th.

Indonesia did not back down at all against Australia, which was far ahead in power. 카지노사이트위키

They put strong pressure from the front and harassed Australia so that they could not build up comfortably.

If we had not had the misfortune of conceding the first goal through an own goal in the 12th minute of the first half, the game might have turned out differently.

At the post-match press conference, an Australian reporter expressed that the Australian defense was in a 'panic' due to Indonesia's persistent pressure and asked why they chose to play offensive soccer rather than focusing on defense.

Coach Shin said, "Soccer is played to win, I don't think it is played to score fewer goals and draw," adding, "I thought about how to beat Australia, and even though our players are young, I thought we would have a chance if we put pressure up front.

“I did,” he replied.

He continued, "However, because our players were young and lacked experience, we were lacking in the final finish.

If our experience improves, we will be on par with Australia in terms of game content and final score."

Coach Shin Tae-yong also said, “I am proud that we played the best today out of the four games we played in this tournament.

If it had not been an early own goal, we could have been more confident and played a better game.

“It is a disappointing loss,” he said.

The winner of this game will meet the winner of the Korea-Saudi Arabia game in the quarterfinals.

After confirming advancement to the round of 16, coach Shin said in an interview, “We are looking forward to a great match against Korea in the quarterfinals.

“This is my next scenario,” he said, expressing his anticipation.

However, Australia, ranked 25th in the FIFA rankings, was too high a wall.

Indonesia's FIFA ranking is 146th.

Coach Shin laughed and said, “I guess it was a dream to play against Korea.”

He continued, "As our players' experience accumulates, I think that one day (in a competition like this) facing Korea will become a reality," and added, "If another opportunity arises next time, I hope to make the match happen."

Director Shin’s challenge is not over.

In the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round, Indonesia is ranked 4th in Group F (1 point, 1 draw, 1 loss).

Coach Shin said, "The players believed in what I said and followed me well, and the Indonesian Football Association also believed in me and supported me.

It has been a difficult journey so far (in the second qualifying round).

The next goal is to pass the second qualifying round." He said emphatically.

SSG Suddenly Dismisses Coach Kim Won-hyung

SSG Suddenly Dismisses Coach Kim Won-hyung... Club “It’s a Matter of Direction, Not Performance”

Last year, we achieved the combined championship, but this year we placed 3rd... Dismissed with 2 years left on contract

Professional baseball team SSG Landers terminated its contract with coach Won-Hyung Kim.

On the 31st, SSG said, "We decided that change and innovation were necessary, including overall team management and player generation replacement.

Change was inevitable in order to renew the team and transform it into a stronger team that is more loved.

Accordingly, the club initially recruited players and players. 카지노사이트

We have decided to go beyond the scope of changes to the composition of the coaching staff and even replace the on-site leadership,” he said.

SSG notified coach Kim Won-hyung of contract termination on the 31st.

Former coach Kim Won-hyung, who is now the 'former head coach', was appointed as the 8th head coach of the SK Wyverns in November 2020.

The contract terms were two years and a total of 700 million won.

Afterwards, when SSG took over SK, former coach Kim Won-hyung became ‘SSG’s first head coach.’

In the first season (2021), he placed 6th and did not advance to the postseason, but in 2022, he achieved 'Wire-to-Wire Championship' by maintaining first place from the opening game of the regular season to the end of the regular season, and also won the Korean Series, achieving 'comprehensive championship'. Completed.

SSG gave its support during the Korean Series in November last year, saying, "We will renew the contract with coach Kim Won-hyung," and after the end of the season, the contract was renewed for a total of 2.2 billion won for three years.

However, with two years left on the contract, former manager Kim Won-hyung was suddenly fired.

This year, SSG finished the regular season in 3rd place and exited the fall stage by losing games 1 to 3 to NC Dinos in the semi-playoffs.

The SSG Landers team said, “We are grateful to the coach for his contributions to the team over the past three years.

I am very sorry for making this decision.

“It was a difficult and difficult decision,” he said, but added, “I will never terminate my contract based on my grades.

After the postseason ended, an intense internal review was conducted.

“I believed that change and innovation were necessary for a team that continues to develop,” he said, explaining the background to the dismissal.

He continued, “I decided that it would be better to make a decision (to replace the manager) more quickly.”

He added, "We decided to organize the players and coaching staff throughout the game operation, but we also decided to replace the manager."

The SSG club began discussions on replacing the manager on the 30th, and on the 31st, general manager Kim Seong-yong told former manager Kim Won-hyung, 'Fired.' SSG said,

We plan to set standards that fit the team's situation and operational direction and quickly proceed with the selection process.

The decision of the 'parent company' is followed in the appointment and dismissal of all clubs' managers.

This time, former manager Kim Won-hyung's decision was made.

The parent company's will was also reflected in the dismissal.

NC Dinos Coach Kang In-kwon Peddy Bullpen Pitch

NC coach Kang In-kwon "Peddy bullpen pitch... Appears in game 2 or 3"

SSG coach Wonhyeong Kim "After seeing McCarty's pitch count, fall baseball position was confirmed"

Coach Kang In-kwon of the professional baseball NC Dinos announced that the starting date of ace Eric Peddy, who is overcoming a right arm contusion and preparing for the fall baseball sortie, will be decided immediately after the first game of the semi-playoffs (quasi-PO, 3 wins out of 5 games).

Ahead of the first game of the semi-PO against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 22nd, Manager Kang said, "Peddy threw out of the bullpen today," and added, "I haven't received a report on his condition yet, but I will confirm his starting pitch for the second or third game after the game." He said.

In his last appearance in the regular season against the KIA Tigers on the 16th, Peddie was struck on the right arm by a straight hit from Ko Jong-wook.

Peddie, who was diagnosed with a bruise during a hospital examination, was excluded from the roster for the wild card game, but is included in the semi-PO roster and is preparing to pitch. 바카라사이트

Coach Kang, who defeated the Doosan Bears in the wild card game, said, "SSG is the overall winning team from last year and has many experienced players, but we should not play passively," and added, "As the young players have good momentum, we will be aggressive in the semi-PO."

“I will do it,” he pledged.

Then, in the wild card match, young bloods at the bottom of the batting order such as Seo Ho-cheol and Kim Hyeong-jun swung hard hits, so it was expected that the veterans would provide strength in the sub-PO.

Coach Kang selected Oh Young-soo, who plays as the number 8 hitter and first baseman, as the hidden card in the first game of the semi-PO.

NC's lineup is Son Ah-seop (designated hitter) ~ Park Min-woo (second baseman) ~ Park Geon-woo (right fielder) ~ Jason Martin (center fielder) ~ Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder) ~ Seo Ho-cheol (third baseman) ~ Kim Hyeong-jun (catcher) ~ Oh Young-soo ~ Kim Joo-won (shortstop) was written.

The biggest variable for SSG, which is attempting to win the Korean Series for the second year in a row, is the condition of left-handed pitcher Kirk McCarty.

SSG coach Kim Won-hyung did not say anything, saying, “We will look at how many balls McCarty can throw and decide on his position in this postseason.”

SSG placed McCarty, who did not play in practice, in the semi-PO entry after feeling pain in his right oblique muscle during the game against the Lotte Giants on the 23rd of last month.

McCarty threw 15 balls during live pitching on the 20th.

Manager Kim explained the usage plan, saying, "There is something to confirm until today, so McCarty will not pitch in the first game.

If he pitches in the actual game after that, he will be blocked for about an inning."

McCarty said he has pitched as a relief pitcher in the U.S. as well, and that he doesn't mind being a starter or relief pitcher.

However, there is a question mark about his usage in the series after Jun-PO.

Since McCarty has not pitched in practice for a month, it is difficult to expect a high number of pitches from him.

Considering these circumstances, Manager Kim is planning to determine McCarty's future position after looking at the number of pitches he pitches.

McCarty had good records this season with 9 wins, 5 losses, and an ERA of 3.39.

He only played in 24 games as a starter due to forearm (muscle between the elbow and wrist) pain and oblique muscle pain.

SSG consists of Oh Tae-gon (first baseman) ~ Park Seong-han (shortstop) ~ Choi Jeong (third baseman) ~ Guillermo Heredia (left fielder) ~ Han Yu-seom (right fielder) ~ Ha Jae-hoon (right fielder) ~ Choi Ji-hoon (center fielder) ~ Kim Seong-hyun (second baseman) ~ Kim Min-sik ( The batting lineup was drawn in the order of catcher).

Ha Jae-hoon got a chance to start thanks to his good performance at the end of the season, and Oh Tae-gon had no hits this year, but he hit NC starting pitcher Shin Min-hyuk's ball quite well and was placed in the first batting order.

Coach Trussier Says, Korea has Improved a Lot

Vietnamese soccer coach Trussier says, "Korea has improved a lot compared to 20 years ago."

An evaluation match against Korea at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 17th.

The head coach of the Vietnam national team, who will play a friendly match against the Korean national soccer team on the 17th, is a familiar face to domestic soccer fans.

This is because coach Philippe Trussier (France), who led the Japanese national team from 1998 to 2002 and advanced Japan to the round of 16 at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, is currently in charge of Vietnam.

Director Trussier, born in 1955, was naturally older than 20 years ago, but he still looked like he was unique and brilliant.

Coach Trussier attended the official press conference held at the Suwon World Cup Stadium in Gyeonggi-do on the 16th and said, "We prepared a lot against Korea, a strong team. 바카라사이트

focused on preparing for what did not go well in the previous games against China and Uzbekistan, but now we have new players."

“It’s a process of creating a team together,” he said.

Vietnam, ranked 95th in the FIFA world rankings, recently played friendly matches against China (80th) and Uzbekistan (75th) and lost 0-2.

Korea, which will meet at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 17th, is ranked 26th in the FIFA rankings.

Coach Trussier, who took office as Vietnam's head coach early this year, said, "Currently, there are many new players in Vietnam.

I will learn a lot from this game against Korea as well as games against China and Uzbekistan and use it as a good foundation to become a strong team in the future."

When asked to compare it to his time as a Japanese coach, Coach Trussier said, "Korea's power has improved to the point that there are more players recognized in Europe"

"Continuing to participate in the World Cup finals is proof of this, and they are steadily producing young players with good skills."

“It will work,” he said.

However, he predicted, “The power gap between the top Asian teams and other countries is gradually decreasing,” and “Because it is easier to raise the lower-ranked teams to a certain level, this gap will narrow further in the future.”

He emphasized, “The match against Korea is a good opportunity,” and “We will prepare for a game where we will do our best rather than any experimental game.”

Defender Doduiman, who also appeared in the interview, conveyed the mood by saying, “Korea is not only an Asian but a world-class team,” and “all the players are looking forward to facing Korea.”

He said, "Korea and Japan are teams that always advance to the World Cup finals, but they are countries that give us hope because they are fellow Asian countries," and pledged, "We will do our best to improve our capabilities."

Doduiman said, "Of course, Coach Park Hang-seo's coming is good news for our players"

"We will focus on the game and use what we have prepared as much as possible in the first and second halves of the 90 minutes."

“I will do my best,” he replied.

Korean Baseball has Never Done Well

[Asian Games] Korean Baseball has Never Done Well due to Being Held Back by Taiwan

There are very few cases where Korean baseball has achieved good results in international competitions due to being held back by Taiwan.

The 2003 Sapporo Asian Championships, where qualification for the 2004 Athens Olympics was at stake, was the starting point of the bad relationship.

Korea lost 4-5 to Taiwan in the 10th overtime match and failed to advance to Athens. 온라인카지노

The 2006 Doha Asian Games also remained in baseball fans' memories as a 'disaster'.

In this tournament, in which six countries participated and the winner was determined through a full league, Korea lost 2-4 to Taiwan, instantly destroying the excitement of advancing to the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) earlier that year.

If Korea bows down to Taiwan, Korean baseball will suffer endlessly.

On the other hand, if they defeat Chinese Taipei in their first game, they will gain confidence and do well.

Tournament officials are well aware of the strange relationship between the two countries, so they make sure to place the two teams on important routes to increase box office success.

At the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, Korean baseball won a gold medal by beating Chinese Taipei in the preliminaries and beating them again in the finals.

The 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games are an extreme exception.

Like on this day, they were tied up by Taiwan's unknown pitcher and lost 1-2, so they started with one loss in the super round, but thanks to Japan catching Taiwan, the three teams were tied with 2 wins and 1 loss, and according to the relevant regulations, Korea and Japan advanced to the finals.

Korea beat Japan and won its third consecutive Asian Games title.

National team Coach Ryu Joong-il and players looked forward to a 'déjà vu' from five years ago after losing 0-4 to Chinese Taipei in the second round of the group stage of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at Stadium 1 of Shaoxing Baseball and Softball Sports Center in China on the 2nd.

‘One chance will come’ was the common thought of the players after the loss.

To do so, we must defeat Japan and China in the Super Round and hope for a miracle in which Japan defeats Taiwan.

However, it is unclear whether the Korean batting line, which is evaluated as the 'weakest' batting line, can hit the sophisticated Japanese pitchers' balls and lead to a victory.

Just as Taiwan diligently studied Korea, Japan, whose trademark is 'microscopic analysis', must have examined Korea in even more detail.

Coach Ryu Joong-il acknowledged the development of Taiwanese baseball, saying, "Taiwanese players have studied a lot in the American professional baseball minor league, batters are not fooled by breaking balls, and the defense has become solid, so they are now a team to watch out for."

Noh Si-hwan, who played as the third hitter, blamed himself, saying, "The pitches of the Taiwanese pitcher and others were generally fast, had good power, and had good control, so they did not mishit," and added, "That made it even more difficult for the hitters.

It was because of poor preparation."

Taiwan's baseball team is slowly making progress to the extent that the Korean national baseball team can feel it in order to break away from the 3rd place in Asia, and Japan's skills are so solid that they won their third WBC title this year.

The game on this day, in which the team was completely defeated by Chinese Taipei without being able to use their power in a two-stroke, was a sad moment that once again exposed the current state of Korean baseball, which was unable to move forward but took a step backwards and hoped for a fluke.
