Lotte Taoyuan missed the playoffs. Zeng Haoju: I am responsible

In the second half of the season, Lotte Monkey King was determined not to qualify for the season championship until the last two games, interrupting its three consecutive years of qualifying for the playoffs since 2023. Zeng Haoju, who returned as head coach this year, said that the players worked hard until the last moment, but ultimately did not meet the team's expectations. "I am responsible for this part."

Zeng Haoju pointed out that yesterday during the game, he paid attention to the game in another place. Because Intercontinental finished earlier than Taoyuan, and he was sure that the score there was open, he first let Liang Jiarong, who had been injured in the game, rest. The team won the championship last year, did not enter the playoffs this year, and did not even reach the minimum threshold. He should be responsible for this part, and thank all Lotte Taoyuan No. 10 teammates for always accompanying them.

Zeng Haoju believes that although we did not win the season championship until the second game in the second half of the season, there are always opportunities. If we can grasp a few games in the previous games, we will not have to worry about which game we did not win in the future. "We have always emphasized that we must seize every game. The task that was not achieved this year means that we have not done enough in the details."

Zeng Haoju said that the best part of Lotte this year is of course the local pitchers. The performances of Tsang Ka Fai, Lin Ziwei and Chen Keyi are all amazing. They have withstood the number of innings pitched after the two main pitchers Huang Zipeng and Mo Shenle left the team. Although this year's offensive data is not very good, they handed over a failing report card in the first half of the season. After all the members returned in the second half of the season, they slowly improved their results. In addition to seeing the growth of Jason Ma, Liang Jiarong has also been playing an important role and fulfilling the responsibility of the captain.

Zeng Haoju pointed out that offense is the biggest problem for Lotte this year. Injured soldiers, the connection of young players, and the large gap between Mesozoic players are all the reasons. Facing the coming seasons, the team's competitiveness must be further improved. As for whether to continue to use the double-foreign cannon next year, he will hold a meeting with the team to conduct a general review, and then evaluate it.
