Ryu Joong Il-ho, who is taking on a difficult challenge leaving Hangzhou's golden sprint behind, is in the running.
The baseball team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, left for Taipei, Taiwan, on the 8th, where the 2024 WBSC Premier 12 Group B match will be held through Incheon International Airport. Director Ryu, who met with reporters, said "The preparation went well. I will play the rest of the game well and play the tournament well."
It's a thorny road.
It was a rough call-up. Players who were considered the main players of the national team, including Moon Dong-ju, Roh Si-hwan (Hanwha), Koo Ja-wook, Won Tae-in, Kim Ji-chan, and Kim Young-woong (Samsung), were eliminated due to injuries one after another. Despite winning two consecutive warm-up matches against Cuba, the modifier 'the strongest' was hardly attached. Coach Ryu confirmed the final entry of 28 players on the 6th, but he still has a lot of worries. Director Ryu said, `My goal is to go to Japan first. I always say this, but there's no easy gap. "I'll do my best in every game."," he reiterated.

Manager Ryu said, `I want to focus on condition rather than training. "I've talked to the players, but I'm trying to focus on getting fit and well," he said, revealing his local training plan. As for the starting team management plan "The starting pitcher will be four. The pitcher who throws in the first game (against Taiwan) will play in the last game again."
Director Ryu emphasized that "Beating Taiwan is the first priority". However, the fact that adaptation training at Taipei Dome has been given only one day is a problem. In response, Ryu expressed confidence, saying, `I've been there once, but I don't think there's a big problem.'
Director Liu said, `The priority is to beat Taiwan. Cuba, Japan, and the Dominican Republic all have to win. "You have to win everything to go up" and laugh "There is only the best." We have to do our best in every game"I called for a fight."
