While the Korean national team lost to the Dominican Republic in the baseball bronze medal match at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, commentator Park Chan-ho, who is regarded as a legend in Korean baseball, sharply pointed out the appearance of his juniors during the game.
On the 7th, the baseball team led by coach Kim Kyung-moon lost 6-10 in the bronze medal match against the Dominican Republic of the Tokyo Olympics held at Yokohama Stadium in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The national team tried to achieve the beauty of Yujong with a bronze medal by winning this match, but ended up finishing the tournament in 4th place.
The Korean national team, which was behind 2-5, scored 4 goals at the end of the 5th inning and turned it over to 6-5. However, they conceded 5 points to the Dominican Republic at the beginning of the eighth inning.
In this situation, the broadcast screen showed Kang Baek-ho leaning on the dugout and chewing gum. Commentator Park Chan-ho resolutely said, “I saw Kang Baek-ho for a while, but I can’t.”
Commentator Park Chan-ho emphasized, “We must keep fighting in the dugout, even if we are frustrated, we must not show the side that we shouldn’t show.
The reaction of netizens from online communities to this is also hot. One netizen wrote, “I hope that you will refrain from getting distracted even if the game is leaning as much as you came out for the national team,” and there were also regretful comments saying, “I can’t judge you with just one scene, but I want you to see me doing my best.” .
