中信兄弟在2024年上半季表現低迷,但隨後在下半季逆勢奪冠。
中信兄弟本季上演上半季墊底、下半季逆勢奪季冠軍奇蹟。中信兄弟總教練平野惠一受訪時感謝球迷的不離不棄,也坦言上半季的低迷,某種程度上在預料之內。
平野惠一說,2024年球隊奪冠後,其實馬上就有進行會議,「當時就有提到,未來會有像今年上半季這種狀況發生,要事先想辦法預防。為了防止球隊戰力的衰退,是有想辦法,但上半季的狀況比預想的快,所以下半季又有再開會,確認球隊方向。」
平野說,之後他向球隊確認三件事,就是比起拿冠軍,希望每場比每場更好、每個球員一天比一天更好、且要為了未來做考量,直到最後都希望實踐,「拿冠軍當然重要,對於球迷而言更是如此,但身為總教練,心裡盡量不要在意。當然,昨天很想要說我想拿季冠軍,還是選手的話一定會這樣講,但做為教練,有些沒辦法說出口的過程。所以經歷過上半季之後,不會忘記這樣狀況,希望球隊能變得更好。」
