Lee Jae-seo, head coach of the handball team of Daegu Metropolitan City Hall, has been in charge for four years this year. Having also served as a youth leader at the Korea Handball Association, he began his leadership career in his 20s. Last season, however, Daegu faced a difficult situation where it had not won a single league game. Coach Lee Jae-seo nevertheless gained a lot of experience by fighting with the players to the end.
Coach Lee Jae-seo recalled that last season was “so hard.” This is because the team’s main players escaped due to injuries and new players filled in, causing difficulties in the league. “It was a situation where I couldn’t play the league. He explained the situation at the time, saying, “All the main players escaped and there were many injured players, so the players were not formed.” Nevertheless, he said, “I started with the idea of just finishing it safely, but as the losing streak continued, I kept saying bad things.”
In particular, Kim Hee-jin’s injury was a fatal blow. Kim Hee-jin played an important role in defense as well as on the outside, so his injury had a big impact on the entire team. He prepared in his own way in set play and attack, but he was unable to properly train as Kim Hee-jin, who was the center, fell out. As a result, the players’ physical strength fell sharply in the second half, making it difficult to solve the game.
That doesn’t mean Daegu Metropolitan City Hall didn’t have any income last season. Coach Lee benefited significantly from the synergy effect by recruiting Ji Eun-hye and Ham Ji-sun in a trade ahead of the Gina season. Although she lost all games, Ji Eun-hye (right back) showed a brilliant performance with 130 goals. Ji Eun-hye played an important role in the team’s offense by moving from right back to center back.
In addition, Daegu Metropolitan City not only won the national sports competition by beating Seoul City Hall for the first time in a long time, but also gained confidence that it could do it. Based on the bee colony defense prepared by coach Lee, young players have grown rapidly, and hopes for the team’s future have also grown.
Coach Lee Jae-seo was proud, saying, “There were many injured players, but as young players played the play I envisioned, their performance improved.” He added, “The players continued to grow even in difficult situations, and the players showed better performance, especially in preparation for the National Sports Festival.”
Daegu Metropolitan City Hall will focus on plays that lead to counterattacks by goalkeeper Kang Eun-joo, based on a tight defense in the upcoming season. Coach Lee said, “Our team is short and young, but we are trying to attack quickly based on our strong defense.”
Manager Lee Jae-seo’s goal for the upcoming season is to “do the best of every game” rather than a specific ranking. He said, “Do what you guys can do well to the players. Then a good game will come out,” he stressed, making it clear that the team’s performance is an important goal.
This season, Daegu Metropolitan City Hall signaled another possibility by recruiting Jung Ji-in as the No. 1 player in the rookie draft. Coach Lee Jae-seo predicted, “There will be no big change just because Jung Ji-in came, but if the opponent’s defense defends Jung Ji-in, there will be a chance on the other side.” “It won’t be like last season, but there will be a feeling that something has changed,” he said, expressing expectations.
Daegu Metropolitan City Hall has strengthened its physical strength by focusing on weight training to prevent injuries ahead of this season. Coach Lee, who was encouraged by the players’ performance at the national sports competition, said, “Defensive training cannot be left out, and if you add a little ‘seasoning’ to the part where the young players have been matching, it will be okay.”
Manager Lee Jae-seo predicted that there would be no major change in the game this season, and predicted a competition between the SK Sugar Gliders and the Gyeongnam Development Corporation. He added, “There will be variables because Seoul City Hall, Samcheok City Hall, and Busan Facilities Corporation are always at the top of the list.”
Finally, coach Lee asked the players to focus on taking care of their bodies after suffering from injuries last season and to play well until the end of the league. “I was sorry for showing the game I didn’t want to show last season, and this season, the players gained confidence with the National Sports Festival,” he said. “We prepared a fun game and a game that many fans can find, so please come and support us.”
