IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, the women's professional volleyball team, fell to GS Caltex by giving up two to four sets in an instant, even after playing a close first set. Head coach Kim Ho-cheol pointed out the mental strength of the players and left bitter remarks.
The Industrial Bank of Korea came from behind to defeat GS Caltex in the last game of the second round of the 2023-2024 Dodram V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 29th with a set score of 1-3 (25-19 19-25 22-25 20-25). In the first set, he easily won the set by tying his opponent's twin guns, Gisele Silva (191cm) and Kang So-hwi (180cm), but in the following sets, he failed to show the same appearance as in the first set and lost the game.
After the game, Kim said, "I think I did just one set well. Our players lacked the will to win," he said as if determined. Coach Kim said, "The game that can win should show your will. "I have to play with a heart that knows how to save even a single ball, but I couldn't," he said, adding, "Everyone was united and had to do their best."
Coach Kim also said, "If the team is less capable than the opponent, it may lose." But everyone has to work hard and do their best, but I didn't see those spirits today," he added. In fact, the Industrial Bank of Korea showed a big difference in performance as if the first set and the rest of the set were different teams.
In the first set, Silva, who is the top scorer in the women's team, completely defended his attack with three points. In addition, Kang So-hwi's attack was all about two points. Coach Kim said, "The first set was completely successful," but analyzed the cause, "I have to do the same in the second set, but at some point, I started to be greedy and missed my position."
In the meantime, head coach Kim said, "The start of the second set was so bad. "I keep talking during the game, but today it was because of that greed," he said. "It was frustrating because the players couldn't move after the second set," he said.
In the game, middle blocker Choi Jung-min (179 cm) scored 18 points, the most in his one game since his professional debut. Coach Kim said, "I think Choi Jung-min is working hard in his position," adding, "It's more than expected." "Choi Jung-min got off to a good start in today's game as well." "In the first set, I did both blocking and attack as I wanted," he said. 토토사이트
After completing the second round, Industrial Bank of Korea will enter the third round from next month. The first game was an away game against Jeong Kwan-jang. Coach Kim said, "The training period is too short. After one game, teams have one day to train, and the rest of the day they train according to the opponent team and play the next game, he said. "I'm sorry that I didn't show a lot of good games."
At the same time, he vowed, "In the third round, I will be more active and make a good game with good condition." Industrial Bank of Korea finished fifth with five wins and seven losses (14 points) for the season due to the loss of the game. It remains to be seen whether it will be able to leap to the top by creating a foothold for a reversal from the third round.
