Samsung coach Park Jin-man, who was watching the semi-playoff, was neutral.

Neither the LG Twins nor the KT Wiz cheered. However, I just wanted to go all the way to the end of Game 5.

At a briefing ahead of the first playoff game against LG held at Daegu Lions Park on the 13th, head coach Park said, `I think it would have been beneficial to hit the 5th game as I wantedBoth teams are strong teams that played the Korean Series last year. However, it seems that the tendencies were different. He's got a different ability to use supervisory operations… He showed confidence, saying, "He prepared well and how to defend LG's operational baseball."

"LG has always pursued mobility baseball and prepared accordingly. This is also the reason for operating a three-man playoff catcher (Kang Min-ho, Lee Byung-hun, and Kim Min-soo). Catcher Kang Min-ho is good at blocking LG's stolen bases, and catcher Kim Min-soo is good at throwing. We made such arrangements in consideration of many aspects."

This is the first autumn baseball experience since taking the helm. Won't you be nervous.

Director Park Jin-man was calm outside of the world. "I think it's the same as it was in the season. Many people ask me if I slept well or if I was nervous, but in fact, I couldn't sleep more before the other team was decided, and I slept comfortably because it was decided."

This does not mean that LG is relatively comfortable.

It just means that while thinking of two teams with different tendencies at the same time, the focus was narrowed to one team, which made me feel comfortable.

Coach Park said, `You can feel the nervousness through the game as a coach, but except for briefing in front of so many reporters, it feels the same as in the season now.'
