Our football team once again faltered on the international stage with a disappointing report card.
Our national team, which participated in the World Softball Federation (WBSC) Top 12, competed with Japan, Taiwan, Cuba, Australia, and the Dominican Republic to move on advanced to the Super Round, which will be given to the second place in Group B, but they could not beat Taiwan and Japan In the end, they lost the first and second place in their group to two teams and did not succeed with them advancing to the semi-finals for the first time in this competition.
The football team, which has been sluggish recently, is considered to show a clear difference in international competitiveness as they did not perform well in this tournament after the Tokyo Olympics and WBC 2023.
At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held in 2023, they beat Chinese Taipei to win the gold medal and won the Asian Games for the fourth time in a row, but they are limited by the fact that competition it is with the benefits of military service and that it is not easy to pass the preliminary round in other international competitions.
As for this tournament, many of the main players were injured and it was difficult to form a team, but some say that a fundamental solution is needed to deal with the fact that injuries still occur while players play in the KBO. League.
Starting with Samsung’s Won Tae-in, who was expected to be responsible for selecting the national team, KIA’s Lee Ui-ri and Hanwha’s Moon Dong-ju were unable to join due to injuries.
Compared to Lee Ui-ri, who left the fortress early in the middle of this season, and Moon Dong-ju, who ended the season in early September, Won Tae- in, to play until the end of the season. your shoulder injury after Game 4 of the Korean Series, adding to the disappointment.
Won Tae-in, who has been playing for the national team in recent international tournaments, needed to manage, but it seems that it was difficult to avoid injury while taking responsible for starts in the league’s regular season record of 144 games.
Due to the structural limitations of not having a thick player base and irregularities in the game schedule as a result of the Premier 12, players who were eligible for the national team were injured, and in Samsung only, Koo Ja -wook, Kim Ji-chan, and Kim Cha Young-woong could not join the national team due to injuries.
Considering the variable of injuries, it seems necessary to consider the number of games and schedule to raise the level of the league, and in the end, it seems that a basic solution is needed for the bottom of the expand player.
The KBO has also been concerned about this issue and is considering several measures, such as providing support when a school starts a football team, but it is not easy to take measures due to difficulties such as a reduction in the school-age population. .
This demonstrates the urgent need for player identification and injury management to secure international competitiveness. on the 20th.
