Korea Expressway Corporation head coach Kim Jong-min expressed his disappointment with Lee Yoon-jung.
Korea Express lost the first set of the Women’s Group A match of the 2024 Tongyeong Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament against GS Caltex by a score of 2-3 (19-25, 25-23, 25-22, 19-25, 13-15) at Tongyeong Gymnasium in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, 메이저 토토사이트 at 1:30 p.m. on Monday.
Korea Expressway Corporation dropped the first set to GS Caltex, but won the next two in straight sets. However, they lost the fourth set and the match went to the final. After falling behind 0-6 early in the fifth set, Korea Expressway Corporation fought back to tie the game at 7-7. However, at 13-14, Jeon Sae-yan’s serve went unforced and they were unable to secure the win.
ApoJit spiker Nikolova scored a team-high 31 points. Kang So-hwi also scored 16 points against his hometown team, but Uniesca Batista (registered name Uni) was a bit underwhelming with 11 points. Setter Lee Yoon-jung was also shaky, allowing GS Caltex to record a whopping 18 blocks.
After the match, coach Kim Jong-min said, “There are definitely weaknesses of the opponent, and since it was our first official match in a long time, we had a lot of misses on our serve. UNI’s offense is a little weak and their reception is unstable. We need to cover those areas. We definitely felt the absence of (Kim) Se-bin.”
As for Kang So-hwi, he said, “I’m not satisfied yet. He’s getting better little by little. I think she played under pressure, but she needs to be more accurate in her reception.”
He also expressed his disappointment with Nikolova. “When it’s crucial, she gets blocked or makes errors. Although she is short, she has the ability to handle it if you look at her speed and instant power. I was disappointed with that part.”
He also expressed his frustration about talking to Lee Yoon-jung throughout the game, saying, “We always talk, but there are some things that don’t go well.”
