“Why did you pick Henderson and Maguire?”

 Gareth Southgate, the manager of the England national soccer team, defended some national team players when they were booed by fans. British media 'Daily Star' reported on the 17th (Korean time), "Coach Southgate decided to select the national team based on 'popularity' after fans recently booed Jordan Henderson (Al IT Park) and Harry Maguire (Manchester United).

A characteristic of this postseason's Wild Card Series (WC) and Division Series (LDS) is surprises.  In particular, the three teams with the highest winning percentage that won 100 games and played directly in the LDS without going through the WC were all eliminated.  The Atlanta Braves with 104 wins and 58 losses, the Baltimore Orioles with 101 wins and 61 losses in the regular season, and the Los Angeles Dodgers with 100 wins and 62 losses, which had raised their stock by winning more than 100 games for three consecutive years, were cruelly defeated. Only Atlanta managed to get one win, while Baltimore and the Dodgers were swept by losing all three games.

As suspicions continued over player selection, the national team coach at the time, Seon Dong-yeol, had to participate in a government audit. It was an Asian Games victory full of scars. After that, a change came. For the first time, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) decided not to suspend the league during the Asian Games. In order to reduce noise regarding military service exceptions, it was decided to form a national team (including 3 wild cards) of people under 23 years of age and with less than 3 years of professional experience, like in soccer. As the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games was postponed by a year, the national team was made up of players under 24 years of age and four years of professional experience. This is why a large number of people with little experience in international competitions were selected to the natio
