Samsung Lions captain Koo Ja-wook said he has no major problems with his physical condition.
Koo Ja-wook led the team to a landslide 10-4 victory with three hits, including a decisive three-run home run in the third inning in Game 1 of the playoffs against the LG Twins at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 13th.
Daily MVP. But couldn't make it to the ceremony. This is because abnormal signals such as vomiting occurred after the game. I complained of dizziness. I had to go to the hospital and recover from the fluids.
Even during the game, he didn't look bright. It was because I was sick. Fortunately, he explained that his physical condition recovered a lot a day later.
Koo Ja-wook attended a press conference ahead of the second game on the 14th. His face looked gaunt. But he said "I'm in better shape than I was yesterday. I think I'm feeling better."I had a headache even before the first game. I had a headache around my eyes. Even before the game, I rested as much as I could before the game. But it's not enough to worry now. You don't have to worry" he said. Then "Sometimes I have migraines, but yesterday I was dizzy and didn't look good. I was worried that it would damage the team. There is no problem playing in the game. My condition got better. I think that if I fall in, it will damage the team, so I have to endure this much pain," he stressed.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man said Koo Ja-wook is a leader who usually gives a lot of energy in the dugout, but he is worried because he is not feeling well. Koo Ja-wook said, `In the first game, I couldn't cheer up, but Park Byung-ho, Kang Min-ho, and the players who protected the dugout gave me a lot of energy. It was a good atmosphere even if I didn't come forward. So I was grateful to the players. I didn't enjoy the game, but it was a consolation for fans and teammates to enjoy it. Yesterday, I just wanted to win quickly and end it quickly."
Last but not least, Koo said of his desire to advance to the Korean Series, `All teams will feel the same way. We want to be in the Korean Series, too. You have to go up as fast as you can. Pitchers should get enough rest. I want to play at least a game to advance to the Korean Series" he said.
