"Mistakes and concentrations are different."

Ahead of the match against Samsung in Daegu on the 3rd, KIA manager Lee Bum-ho delivered this clear message.

He could have had a good night. Daegu Samsung match on the 2nd. I could hardly calm down my anger. After Kim Do-young's chase shot came out in the top of the fourth inning, TV broadcasts showed him gesturing to defensive coach Park Ki-nam in front of the dugout without congratulating him. In the bottom of the third inning, Kim Do-young made a throw to first base, not the leading runner, providing an excuse for errors and runs.

Kim Do-young was replaced with Byun Woo-hyuk at the start of the fourth inning. The fact that he was deployed in the team-centered batting order and was replaced even after shooting a chase gun suggests coach Lee's anger. KIA led the game to extra time with a tie in the top of the ninth inning and then came from behind to win by making a five-run big inning in the top of the 10th inning.

Looking back at the scene at the end of the third inning the previous day, director Lee said, `Anyone can make mistakes. "I also made countless mistakes and errors when I was active."But I have to focus clearly on the game.", he pointed out. When I asked " (Kim Do-young), he said "I thought the opponent was attached to the second base." If you're on the same line, you might look like that. However, if we were focused, we could cover it. "It was an important match not only for us but also for everyone. It can't look good to the opponent to reveal the problem of concentration in such a game. You have to give the impression that you are a tricky team in every way," he stressed.

Even after hitting a home run, Kim Do-young couldn't hide his firm expression as if he was conscious of his mistake. After the game, he visits the manager's office in person and bows to Lee. It is true that there is not a lot of pressure on themselves due to repeated mistakes.

Manager Lee said, `No player takes the game easy. I don't want to scold or reprimand you because I know how you feel"I think the best conditions to focus on the game (front, on-site support, etc.) are in place," he said, reiterating his concentration.
