The Korean baseball team, which lost its competitiveness in international competitions, was once again humiliated by being eliminated from the group qualifying round.
The baseball team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, will play the final Group B match against Australia at 1 p.m. on the 18th at Tianmu Stadium in Taipei, Taiwan.
The national team, which played until the fourth round of the group qualifying round, recorded two wins and two losses and was eliminated regardless of the result of the final match against Australia. The national team lost the first match against Taiwan and the Korea-Japan match, which was a watershed, and eventually, Japan and Taiwan confirmed the qualification of the group qualifying round, and Korea was eliminated.
It is a Korean baseball that has not been able to show its competitiveness in international competitions.
The national baseball team won the bronze medal at the first World Baseball Classic (WBC) in 2006, widely promoting the excellence of Korean baseball.
After winning the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he peaked with a runner-up performance at the second WBC in 2009.
However, as the 2010s began, the downturn in Korean baseball gradually came.
While the U.S. and Japan, which have already reached the stage of completion of baseball infrastructure, are steadily emerging in Latin American countries such as the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico, Korean baseball has failed to change generations and there are no players to take responsibility for the future.
In the end, the WBC suffered the humiliation of being eliminated in the first round of the finals for three consecutive years in 2013, 2017, and last year, and failed to win a medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, receiving a disastrous report card that ranked fourth among the six teams.
On the other hand, in the Asian Games, where military service benefits were at stake, it flew fast.
The national team, which had a shock wave of bronze medals at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, has since formed the best members of the Asian Games, and as a result, it has achieved four consecutive gold medals from the 2010 Guangzhou Games to the 2022 Hangzhou Games.
However, in the case of the Asian Games, the United States and Latin American countries do not participate, and Japan, the strongest country in Asian baseball, does not send professional players, making it relatively easy to win. In other words, it is a competition that cannot measure the competitiveness of international competitions, and it is just a stage that is no more, no less, than sharing military service benefits for young players.
Above all, the national baseball team has again shown its lack of analysis of its opponent’s power in this Premier 12. The absence of competitive players has also been a chronic problem for more than a decade. The reality is that the 카지노사이트 KBO League’s 10 million spectators are important, but Korea needs to make massive changes such as fostering talented players.
