These days, Seung-ho Baek (23, Darmstadt) has not had enough time to play. He started only once in the last four games. Both matches kept the bench. What is Markus Anfang Darmstadt’s thoughts on Baek Seung-ho’s noticeably reduced recent appearance? He said, “Baek Seung-ho is playing a lot this season.”

Baek Seung-ho’s 2020-21 season is unpredictable. I played 11 minutes in the 1st round, missed in the 2nd round, and played 1 minute in the 3rd round. He missed three matches due to muscle injuries due to a crush on his stomach. In the 7th round Paderborn match, it was put in as a substitute for the second half and announced a return, but it took a total of 25 minutes, including the 8th round. The Darmstadt regional magazine described it as’Baek Seung-ho was a victim of the tactics of coach Markus Anfang’.

Seung-ho Baek, who was like that, played as a starter from round 9 to round 15. Full time is two games. In addition, he scored consecutive assists against Groiter Purt in round 12 and Wuerzburg Kickers in round 13. A total of 3 help. Moving to a more aggressive position became a godsend.

It was a green light for the second half of the game. However, I missed two games in four recent matches. I only kept the bench. I was expected to be a starter for the Regensburg game in the 9th round by guarding the bench in round 18, but this time it was a bench again. It was put into the 40th minute of the second half and hit the ground for about 10 minutes. I did my best to show my abilities within a short period of time, actively coming and going from midfield to defense and to the flanks.

After the game, a non-face-to-face press conference with coach Anfang was held. I asked him about the changes that occurred in Baek Seung-ho’s recent appearance. First of all, it is not an injury. Manager Anfang said, “I think Baek Seung-ho played a lot this season,” and said that the time to play is not small. “Except for the time he was injured, he also had quite a few starting opportunities,” he added.

He then explained that the rotation was inevitable due to the recent number of games. Darmstadt has played three games in a row every three days from the 24th. On February 2nd, they will play the 2020-21 DFB Focal Round of 16 against Holstein Kiel. In Germany, this tight schedule is called’Englische Woche’ in the sense that it is similar to the schedule of the English club, where English clubs play 38 league matches and cups. Director Anfang said, “We are having’England Week’. “The more players you play, the less you have.”

“I share the physical burden like that. If you keep only one player running, that player will eventually get hurt. That doesn’t mean anything.” In other words, Baek Seung-ho’s recently reduced participation time can be interpreted as physical fitness management, not lack of skill. In fact, only defender Immanuel Hool (29), Fabian Holland (30) and goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen (28) have started starting in the last three games in a row. He emphasized that the more rotations, the more internal competition should be. “Athletes have to constantly improve. Baek Seung-ho has shown progress and is receiving quite a few opportunities.”
