The fierce competition between Hyundai E&C and Heungkuk Life Insurance in the women’s professional volleyball team is in an atmosphere that will end blandly due to variables outside the game.
On the 11th, Hyundai E&C won the Dodram 2022-23 V-League Women’s Division Heungkuk Life Insurance at Samsan Gymnasium in Incheon with a set score of 3-2 (30-28 25-20 16-25 21-25 15-11).
As a result, Hyundai E&C, which obtained 53 points with 19 wins (2 losses), widened the gap to 2nd place Heungkuk Life Insurance (16 wins, 5 losses, 48 points) to 5, and took a step forward in the lead competition again.
Hyundai E&C, which had been running for 15 consecutive wins this season, recorded its first loss this season against KGC Ginseng Corporation on the 25th of last month, and on the 29th of last month, it lost to Heungkuk Life Insurance by a set score of 1-3, recording its first consecutive loss.
In particular, they lost to second-place Heungkuk Life Insurance and tied the score, and foreign player Yasmin Bedard (registered name Yasmin) seemed to face the greatest crisis as she was forced to leave the field for a while due to a back injury.
On the other hand, Heungkuk Life’s momentum seemed to pierce the sky. On the 29th of last month, Yasmin took advantage of the breakaway and won the first match against Hyundai E&C, and when the points were equal, Kim Yeon-kyung expressed his enthusiasm by mentioning the word “win”.
But bad news came unexpectedly. 카지노사이트
At the beginning of this year, coach Kwon Sun-chan, who led the team, was sacked for an unknown reason, saying, “It does not match the direction the club wants to go,” and the team began to shake.
In the process of coach Kwon Soon-chan stepping down, veteran players protested and expressed their disappointment with the team, and there were even talks of boycotting the game.
Heungkuk Life Insurance started to deal with the situation, but nothing worked.
After coach Kwon left, Heungkuk Life Insurance played a game against GS Caltex on the 5th as acting manager Lee Young-soo, but even this acting manager resigned immediately after the game and agreed.
Accordingly, Heungkuk Life Insurance hastily appointed director Kim Ki-joong as the next command tower on the 6th. However, coach Kim Ki-joong informed the club on the 10th that he would decline the appointment of the manager after careful consideration.
Now, no command tower wants to take the baton of Heungkuk Life Insurance, which is called the ‘grave of directors’.
Even in a difficult situation, Heungkuk Life Insurance players showed their fighting spirit with the support of fans on their backs, and ran a winning streak even after coach Kwon stepped down. However, it was not enough to overcome the wall of Hyundai E&C in the absence of a formal command tower. In addition, it seems that it will take some time for the team to stabilize, so it seems that Hyundai E&C’s pursuit is difficult.
On the other hand, Hyundai E&C showed the aspect of a strong team even though Yasmin was missing. The team can be reorganized before and after the All-Star break at the end of January, and Yasmin, who was injured in early February, is scheduled to return, so the chances of winning the regular league for the second year in a row are higher.
