"I've been a national team player and coach for a long time, but I've never seen anything like this."

Korean baseball team players held a surprise party for Ryu Ji-hyun, who won his first victory.

The national team won 3-0 in the first K-baseball series against the Czech Republic at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 8th. Seven pitchers came out and gave up only three hits and struck out as many as 17 to make a perfect game, and even in a frustrating situation with only five hits from the lineup, Song Sung-moon's first RBI timely hit in the first inning, Choi Jae-hoon's sacrifice fly in the second inning, and Lee Jae-won's wedge double in the eighth inning scored three runs.




The team held a party in the locker room to celebrate Ryu's first win in the national team before the start of training on the morning of the 9th, when the second warm-up match against the Czech Republic will be held.

A cake and bouquet of flowers were prepared to celebrate, and after extinguishing the candle of the first win cake, captain Park Hae-min and Won Tae-in smeared the cake on director Ryu's face, making the atmosphere even brighter. Director Ryu also smiled broadly even after putting the cake on his face in unexpected celebration. This proves that there is good communication between the players of the national team and the coaching staff.

Director Ryu "I really didn't know. I was so surprised. I've been coaching with the national team a lot, but this doesn't happen to the national team very often. I was surprised that something that I never expected happened. "I felt very good. I wanted to communicate with the players more easily and communicate with them until March next year, and I thought I wanted to maintain a good atmosphere."
