"Our players did well. It was a good opportunity, but I'm sorry, but I'm glad we got at least one point."
The head coach looked bright and his voice was lively. He was full of confidence toward his disciples rather than regretting his defeat.
Woori Card lost to Korean Air in the fifth round of the 2023-2024 season V-League with a set score of 2-3. It won through the second set in a row, but lost three sets in a row to fail.
The lack of experience of the young squad was also evident, unlike the counter-air, which went through all sorts of hardships while playing for his team and the national team. He led Issey to an equal lead in five sets in his struggle, but eventually lost the game due to a mistake.
With the loss, Woori Card recorded 19 wins and 10 losses with 56 points. It is two points shorter than Korean Air (58 points). However, as it played one less game, it can take the lead in the 3-0 and 3-1 victory against KB Insurance on the 22nd.
Second-year setter Han Tae-joon (19) was confident early in the game by actively utilizing the center attack. However, as Korean Air's strong serve shook his receiving, he had many worries and even made a critical set mistake at the end of the fifth set.
Woori Card coach Shin Young-chul, whom he met after the game, expressed satisfaction with the overall game content, apart from regret.
A match between Woori Card and Hyundai Capital in the men's volleyball V-League was held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 12th. Woori Card manager Shin Young-chul is talking with Han Tae-joon.
Coach Shin Young-chul, who was a speculator during his time as a player, said, "If a player fails to receive a setter (experienced setter), the number of players will be shortened. If a player has a bad catch, he can post it up to a bad catch and leave it to a striker, but that hasn't worked out well yet. As I keep thinking negative things, I haven't played well."
Regarding Issei, who scored 26 points throughout the last minute of the fifth set, he said with a smile, "You did a great job. If you win today, I want to give you the MVP."
"I think Lim Dong-hyuk's expectation of the course fits well," he explained, as the reason for the impressive blockings centered on Han Sung-jung at the beginning of the game. "In the end, I set the timing based on the pitch of the setter, and that worked well."
The two teams have been competing for the lead throughout this season. It was a championship game that can be seen as a preview of the championship.
"As expected, Korean Air has many good players. While Korean Air missed many easy-to-reach balls and double-speed connections, Korean Air had much better ball handling ability and game management. As an outside heater, isn't Jeon Kwang-in or Kwak Seung-suk a very good player? Kim Ji-han is still lacking in some areas. There were many invisible mistakes today. We need to make up for even one more ball."
Woori Card is seeking to sign a new foreign player to replace Mattei who has been sidelined due to injury. Coach Shin said, "There is definitely a difference between the presence and absence of foreign players. You can trust them, and they have different blocking heights. We can catch them only when the opponent setter's ball ends. Each and every one of them is management and risk. Our players fought really well despite such circumstances." 안전 토토사이트
Korean Air coach Tommy Tilikainen said, "Our card is a team with a completely different player composition than when I first took office," adding, "Matei did well until the middle of this season, and since Matei was absent, young players have been doing well."
"Coaches are always ready for the next step," Shin said. "They are ordering plays that fit various situations. From the player's hand shape to timing and defensive position, I am trying my best to win no matter who the member is."
