After the group stage of the badminton year-end finals, we understood why An Seying lost to Kim Ga-eun in the first game.
Kim Ga-eun has indeed improved this year, but she is still not qualified for the year-end finals, because Akane Yamaguchi was injured and she came in as a substitute.
Unexpectedly, in her first game, she defeated the world's No. 1 and this year's best female badminton player An Xiying 2-0.
At that time, we thought that Ahn Se-ying had not recovered from an injury to her right knee, but it was not until three days later that we found out that the Korean team had done a good job.
In the later games, An Xiying was unstoppable, defeating Mariska and Dai Tzuying 2-0 in two, and she was completely back to the top.
And Kim Jiaen lost 1-2 to Tai Tzu Ying the next day.
Before Kim Ga-eun played Mariska on the third day, the group's qualification situation was that as long as Kim Ga-eun defeated Mariska, she would be able to qualify second in the group, thus eliminating Tai Tzu Ying.
Obviously, in the first game, in order to give Kim Ga-eun a chance to qualify, the South Korean team played tricks in the first game, and Ahn Se-young conceded the ball.
However, people are not as good as heaven, in the last game of the group, Super Mario did his best to defeat Kim Ga-eun 2-1 after two games and two losses, presiding over justice, so that the wishful thinking of the Korean team failed, and Tai Tzu Ying escaped death and reached the semi-finals.
Of course, the South Korean team is very sure of Ahn Se-ying's strength, and uses the rules to make such an arrangement, and no one can do anything about them.
