First of all, I think we were able to win today thanks to our fans who cheered the team up until the end with passionate support.” Coach Kang continued, “I would like to say to all the players who played hard even in difficult situations, well done.” I pray for the health of Seo Ho-chul, who was hit by a dead ball during the game, he said.
