Chapter 39
“Congratulations on your four consecutive wins. You’re about to face your final game against Korea, and they have been showing quite an impressive performance. In particular, the player Cha Taehyun seems threatening. Do you have any strategies prepared to deal with him?”
The American team’s coach chuckled, seemingly in disbelief.
“Well… Cha Taehyun is certainly a talented hitter, but… did you forget? We have a hitter even more talented than him, Tom Clandy, and a pitcher, Nick Trigeris. Both are players that Major League teams have their eyes on. Why would we need to prepare a countermeasure?”
The coach’s confidence bordered on arrogance, and the reporter smiled as he asked again.
“So, are you guaranteeing a victory?”
“Victory? I’m just worried you might fall asleep while watching the Korea game.”
This American interview quickly spread to Korea.
– “Wow, even though I know it’s trash talk, it really makes my blood boil.”
– “LOL, it’s not even trash talk. He’s serious. This coach acted the same way during the last World Cup.”
