Reporter Lee Dae-ho = “(In the second half) I want to win a come-from-behind championship.”
Choi Tae-woong (47), head coach of Hyundai Capital men’s volleyball, threw a challenge ahead of the ‘preview championship game’.
Coach Choi said ahead of the game against Korean Air at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 7th, “Today’s game can change the entire league game. That’s why today’s match is so important to our team.”
Hyundai Capital, led by coach Choi, is in second place with 12 wins and 6 losses in the first half (18 matches) and 36 points.
Korean Air (16-3, 47 points), who played one more game, is the league leader with 11 points ahead of Hyundai Capital.
Coach Choi’s goal, which had announced the end of the rebuilding ahead of this season and said that he would jump into the championship competition again, has been realized to some extent.
However, Hyundai Capital lost all three previous head-to-head matches with Korean Air. 안전놀이터
The 1st and 2nd rounds were 0-3, and the 3rd round match was lost 1-3, so they could not add a single point in the Korean Air match.
Coach Choi ordered the players, “It’s time for the opponent to feel that what we prepared is too much for them. This is a round where we have to make the opponent feel that.”
In particular, he pointed out, “Compared to the expectations before the season, Heo Su-bong needs to show a little more performance.”
Head coach Tommy Tilikhainen (36), who was in first place with a little bit of time, did not even think to challenge Choi, saying, “All 7 Korean men’s team coaches say the same thing. I don’t care that much.”
Coach Tillikainen said, “Our team has records that we set goals for before the season begins. We just run for it.”
In addition to records, coach Tillikainen ordered Korean Air players to include ‘Let’s create a new culture’ and ‘Let’s move on to the next level in the game style’.
He said, “I think the players have followed well so far. Still, I emphasize this part every week. If we keep this, we will continue to run first.”
