“I think the players who haven’t played much must have known why they haven’t been able to play so far.”
Director of Heungkuk Life Insurance Marcello Avonja (54) left an unusual criticism.
Heungkuk Life Insurance was completely defeated by Hyundai Engineering & Construction with a set score of 0-3 (12-25, 21-25, 16-25) in the third round of the women’s regular season of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Suwon Indoor Gymnasium on the 20th.
Since the opening, the momentum of 14 consecutive wins has been greatly reduced. Heungkuk Life Insurance has knelt down in the competition of Hyundai Construction following the Jeonggwanjang match on the 17th, allowing the team to pursue the lead. It is only three points behind Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which is ranked second.
It was a one-sided defeat. Heungkuk Life Insurance collapsed without even attempting a proper counterattack. Among the three sets, Avon Daza replaced even the ace, Kim Yeon-koung, 36, and effectively raised the white flag.
As the match was held in just three days, candidates were evenly deployed to change the mood. The result was a crushing defeat. Even the main catcher Tutku (25) was exited from his team due to an injury.
After the game, Avon Dazaar was criticized with determination. Asked if the players looked tired, Avon Daza said, “It is not an excuse that there was no Afogit Spiker. We should not lose based on such attitude or performance,” adding, “I used players who did not play as much as possible. I think I understood why they were bad players.”
Regarding the overall performance of the modern construction game, he shook his head, saying, “As you can see, it was not good. There is not much to discuss about volleyball. I played a game where I couldn’t see the characteristics. I’m sure it has to change.”
Even before the match, Abondaji expressed concern over the upcoming match schedule. “We didn’t have enough time to train two days ago 안전놀이터. This is the most difficult time. I don’t know how many matches we won in the past few seasons. I think we need to play well as a team.”
There is no time to rest. Heungkuk Life Insurance will go on an away game in Gimcheon four days later to play with the Korea Expressway Corporation. The team has a home game against GS Caltex on Tuesday.
