Finally winning in Gyeyang

Hyundai Capital, the men's professional volleyball team, continues its hope for spring volleyball.

Hyundai Capital won the set score of 3-2 (25-21 25-18 21-25 26-28 15-12) against Korean Air in the fifth round of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 30th. It easily won the first two sets with its overwhelming performance, but later allowed the set score to be tied due to increased errors. However, it was a valuable victory for the team to display concentration in the fifth set.

"I am grateful to the players who did not give up until the end," acting coach Jin Soon-ki said after the bloody battle. "Korean Air is also a good team. That's why I gained confidence in the game in many ways," he recalled.

The victory was even more meaningful to Hyundai Capital. This is because Korean Air has been like a natural enemy to Hyundai Capital. First of all, the last victory against Korean Air was in the fifth round of the 2022-2023 season. The date is February 10, 2023. It was almost a year ago.  배트맨토토

Moreover, the victory at Gyeyang Gymnasium was more than three years old. The last victory was on Jan. 6, 2021, when the fourth round of the 2020-2021 season advanced.

Hyundai Capital won the Korean Air match, which was like a jinx, when it needed it more than ever. Acting coach Jin also assessed the victory, saying, "It was a game that meant a lot to me, even though I had not won against Korean Air."

In the first and second sets, he showed off his overwhelming performance against powerful Korean Air. He thoroughly blocked the opponent's attack by blocking, and started with accurate toss by tall setter Kim Myung-kwan (195 cm), followed by attack triangle formation Ahmed Iqbairi (200 cm), Heo Soo-bong (195 cm), and Jeon Kwang-in (194 cm).

However, such performance was not seen well in the third and fourth sets. Acting head coach Jin cited "difference in serve" as the cause. "In the first and second sets, serve was good. There were no mistakes, but from the third set, serve errors started to increase," acting coach Jin said. "Korean players including Ahmed also had a difference in that they had more errors."

However, the team did not collapse in the fifth set. The offense trio finished the game by scoring a total of eight points and garnered two valuable points. "It is important to bring at least one more point," acting coach Jin said, expressing desperation for the spring volleyball rankings.

Attention is focusing on whether Hyundai Capital's challenge to spring volleyball will accelerate. Hyundai Capital, which accumulated valuable points from the first game of the fifth round, will leave Ansan to play a match against OK Financial Group on April 2.
