Although the team continued to win a streak, Korea Expressway Corporation coach Kim Jong-min could not laugh, expressing regret in his performance.
On the 13th, the Korea Highway Corporation won the 3-0 (25-23 28-26 25-21) match against Heungkuk Life Insurance in the 3rd round of the 2020-21 Dodram V-League Women’s Division held at the Incheon Contract Gymnasium.
As a result, Korea Highway Corporation (5 wins 7 losses, 14 wins) ran 4 consecutive wins and pursued the 4th place KGC Ginseng Corporation (5 wins 7 losses, 17 wins) by three points.
However, coach Kim was not satisfied with the team’s performance. Heungkuk Life’s twins Lee Jae-young and Da-young were missing, and the foreign player Lucia was also absent due to injuries.
After the game, coach Kim said, “The team rhythm was good while winning three straight victories, but the players’ mindset seems to have become weaker as the opponents fell out.”
Regarding Setter Go-eun, “The rhythm of giving the ball should be constant, but it wasn’t possible. I wasn’t even an inexperienced player, but I was nervous. I have to find a solution.”
He added, “I was worried from before the start of the season, but the rhythm of the strikers was broken because the rhythm of the setter’s giving the ball was not maintained. The ball raised to Kelsey with a high RBI is good, but breathing with the rest of the players is important.”
Regarding Jeon Sae-yan, who was active with 6 points including 2 blocking, he said, “You did a good job of receiving and attacking. To get into that position, you have to play the role of a housekeeper, such as giving a number. It would be awkward as a player who jumped as a light, but practiced I’m doing a lot, so I’ll be okay.”
Park Jung-ah, the lead of the team, also said, “I won a streak, but today’s performance wasn’t good. There seems to be a part to make up for. I was embarrassed at the beginning because I thought that Jae-young Lee and Da-young Lee would play, and prepared. I don’t think I can’t,” he pledged to show his improved performance in the future.
