The 15-game winning streak fell short of breaking the tie. The vacancy in Tutsi Bourgeois was too big than I thought. In addition, the forced schedule with short breaks added a part to making the game difficult.
Heungkuk Life Insurance lost to Hyundai Engineering & Construction 0-3 (12-25, 21-25, 16-25) in the third round of the Dodram V-League in the 2024-25 season at Suwon Indoor Gymnasium on the 20th. As the score of each set clearly shows, it was not a close game except for the second set, and even that, they rubbed their shoulders until the middle of the second set.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which had been showing off its scary momentum with 14 consecutive wins in the opening game, was caught in a losing streak. The foreign issue, which had been a drag on many clubs, also erupted here.
Foreigner Tutu's close left knee was in danger. He had shown signs of recovery even before that. At the match against GS Caltex on June 28, Tutu had been excluded from the starting list due to pain in the same part. He continued to play in matches afterward, but had a short league schedule as well as the process of playing the full set of starting players in each game. No matter how well he managed, his knee would not have been able to withstand it. Tutu eventually withdrew from the court with tears at the end of the fourth set of the articles of association.
Given the nature of the Korean V-League, which is implementing a try-out system, it is not easy to select a substitute for a foreign player once he or she leaves. The same applies to Heungkuk Life. Willow Johnson of the U.S., who played an active role in Yelena during the last season, is preparing for the 2025 season by signing a contract with the Vegas Thrill of the U.S. PVF League. Most foreigners who joined the team escaped to the LOVB League, the PVF League, or the Turkiye in the U.S. Even if a substitute is selected, he or she still has breathing problems. As there is no solution for foreign players, trials will likely continue to be similar to those of other teams that suffered from injury for a while.
In the match, Asian quarter player Peach somehow managed to score 10 points (45 percent attack success rate), but all Korean teams ended up scoring just one point. Exhausted Kim Yeon-koung also set a shocking record of six points. Back-up Apogit Moon Ji-yoon played alternately with Kim Dae-eun, but struggled amid Hyundai Engineering & Construction's aggressive capabilities. Ko Ye-rim and Wi Pai-yu teamed up to score a half and 25 points, without her mother having to score dozens of points. Moon eventually withdrew with five points.
They were pushed to 1-6 with few blocked points, and Bum-sil (12-18) committed six more than Hyundai E&C. Worse yet, backup Do Su-bin stood on the court on that day due to poor condition even with his main player, Libero Shin Yeon-kyung. The team's dig record was 51-67, which was worse than Hyundai E&C's.
After the game on the 17th, I took two days off on the 18th and 19th. Heungkuk Life Insurance, like all clubs, has faced a period of "March of Suffering." Entering the third round, they have to take two to three days off and go on an expedition. The game will be played at Gimcheon, the home of the Korea Expressway Corporation, on the 24th. The Korea Expressway Corporation, which had been competing for the last place until the last place, was able to breathe to some extent with the joining of Tanacha in the Asian quarter.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which is unstable in foreigners, defense, and offense, must continue its fight without promise again. No matter how many times the opponent team ranks second in the league, it showed an excessive gap. "There is nothing to discuss about volleyball," manager Avon Danza said after the match. "We should not deal with it with this attitude or performance. We only had two days to prepare, but it is no excuse."
"Many players who were not ready have played. The players felt why they could not participate in the competition," he criticized. However, Heungkuk Life Insurance's performance on the court was mostly a full game. It means that only those who used it used it were the players who used it. The gap between backup and key players was inevitably apparent. Regardless of the training intensity, the backup was mostly kept in the warm-up zone. The coach probably knew best about Tutu's knee condition, but there was no time to rest. In addition, it was hard to see Kim Yeon-koung being replaced and relaxing for a while. 스포츠토토
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which lost three points in the Jeonggwanjeon and three points in the Hyundai Constructionjeon, is now trailing Hyundai Engineering & Construction by three points. Currently, it has 40 points with 14 wins and two losses, and Hyundai Engineering & Construction has 37 points with 12 wins and four losses.
