“It won’t be easy given the momentum of Heungkuk Life, but we’ll handle it well.”
Hyundai E&C, led by head coach Kang Sung-hyung, defeated IBK IBK in straight sets 3-2 (21-25 25-22 19-25 25-16 15-8) in the women’s match of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League at Suwon Gymnasium on Nov. 22. With 69 points, Hyundai E&C moved back to the top of the standings, ahead of 메이저 토토사이트 Heungkuk Life (67 points).
It wasn’t easy. Hyundai E&C struggled with IBK’s tenacious defense and height. After the game, Coach Kang said, “We played well in the beginning, but it was a difficult game because our reception was shaky in one spot. It’s not that we didn’t train, but we need to shake off our anxiety. I hope she can relieve the pressure.”
Wipawi was initially expected to return to the match, but was not. “It’s better to have a player who is 100 percent fit to play,” Kang said. We’d rather play it safe than have a player at 60 to 70 percent. It’s difficult, but we have six games left. He (Wipawi) will be back in that time, but we’re going to play it like we are now. He will continue to heal and prepare. We have about a week (until the next match) to get him ready. We have to wait and see how things go.”
Despite the win, the gap with Heungkuk Life is now two points. “I want to finish first, but I don’t think it’s going to be easy because of the momentum of Heungkuk Life. “I can’t help but think, ‘If we are 100%, we can do it. It’s an opportunity, and we will prepare to handle it well,” he emphasized.
