"For us, the chance is the first game."
Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon pinned his hope of winning the first game of the Korean Series.
Coach Kim said in an interview with reporters ahead of Game 1 of the Korean Series against the LG Twins, the winner of the regular league, at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th, `The chance for us is the first game. I think this series will be a lot of fun if we take the first game to the advantage."
Hanwha came to the Korean Series by winning 3-2 after a bloody battle with the Samsung Lions through Game 5 in the playoffs. In Game 5, he won an 11-2 victory and advanced to the Korean Series for the first time in 19 years since 2006, giving him a chance to win for the second time in the club's history since 1999.
For Kim, this is the fifth Korean series. It's my first challenge to win.
Asked how many games he expected to play on the media day held the previous day, head coach Kim spread seven fingers. Of the six attendees, he was the only one who expected Game 7.

Director Kim said, `It's good if it ends early, but I drew up to Game 7"What matters is the first round." "(The No. 1 team) has a lot of time to wait. We rest a lot at first, but when it comes to our sense of play while practicing, the chance for us is the first game."
LG played its final regular league game on Oct. 1 and will play in the Korean Series after a 24-day break. Since it went through a long break, it may be in good physical condition by recovering physical strength and treating injuries with sufficient rest, but the sense of the game may decrease because it did not play the actual game. In particular, hitters who have not actually hit fast balls often have difficulty adapting. During this training period, LG also used a pitching machine that sprayed more than 160km to adapt to the fast ball. It is unclear whether this training will play a role in breaking the lineup from the first game.
Director Kim said "Moon Dong-ju's pace is good. Take good advantage of the bullpen. I think this series will be a lot of fun if you do well in the offense and lead the first game to the advantage"He expressed his willingness to take the first step toward winning the championship."
