"There is confidence among the players that the game goes well with LG."

The Kiwoom Heroes vowed to win the home opener with a "natural enemy relationship." Kiwoom coach Seol Jong-jin (52) delivered an encouraging atmosphere of the team ahead of the home opener against the LG Twins at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 3rd. Coach Seol emphasized the psychological superiority of the players, especially against LG, in a meeting with reporters ahead of the game.

"Today is the home opening game, but half jokingly, there is a clear atmosphere among our players that the game works out particularly well when they meet LG," he said. "On the contrary, from LG's point of view, there is a jinx, not a kind of jinx that twists the game when they meet us, so the players seem to play more confidently."

In fact, although Kiwoom finished at the bottom of the last season, it showed strong concentration against LG and left an equal record of 7 wins and 9 losses. In the exhibition game ahead of the opening of this season, he also showed off his strong performance by holding both the last two consecutive games against LG. Coach Seol believes that the team's unique atmosphere will create positive synergy in conjunction with the symbolism of the home opener.

Coach Seol then said, "The players are more confident than ever. As it is the first game played in front of home fans, I will continue my jinx and present victory," he added.

Meanwhile, Kiwoom formed the starting lineup in the order of Brooks (1st baseman), Lee Ju-hyung (middle fielder), An Chi-hong (designated hitter), Choi Joo-hwan (third baseman), Park Chan-hyuk (right fielder), Lee Hyung-jong (left fielder), Eo Jun-seo (striker), Kim Gun-hee (catcher), and Park Han-gyeol (second baseman). The starting pitcher is Alcantara. Coach Seol Jong-jin said of Alcantara, "It wasn't a little good in the first game of the opening, but I'm looking forward to it a lot because I showed a good performance at Gocheok. I will play well," he said positively.
