Dodram V League Women’s Volleyball
Defeat IBK with a set score of 3-1
Kim Yeon-kyung waits in the warm-up zone due to symptoms of enteritis
Appointment process for new director Kim Ki-joong delayed
There was no newly appointed coach on the bench, and Kim Yeon-kyung was also absent from the court. The Heungkuk Life Women’s Professional Volleyball Team is still driving behind the scenes.
On the 8th, the Hwaseong General Gymnasium where the V-League women’s game was held. Heungkuk Life Insurance’s bench, which played once morest the home team IBK Industrial Bank, was guarded by coach Kim Dae-gyeong instead of new coach Kim Ki-joong.
Initially, it was a game that drew attention as coach Kim’s debut match. Coach Kim said, “I haven’t met the new coach yet. He didn’t even have a meeting.”
The Korean Volleyball Federation (KOVO), which supervises the V-League, told reporters in charge this morning that “Coach Kim is going to act as an acting manager because Heungkuk Life Insurance is finishing the job of appointing a manager.”
According to KOVO’s message, Heungkuk Life Insurance scratched once more and caused the boil. In general, the announcement of a new supervisor is made following all administrative procedures, including contracts, have been completed. The coach also usually makes his debut on the match day closest to the completion of registration with the federation. If so, coach Kim’s ‘no show’ on this day is enough to raise suspicions that the club has not actually completed administrative procedures or that there is another internal situation that cannot be said.
Coach Kim said, “It is embarrassing that various situations happen one following another. Still, he encouraged the players to ‘prepare well for the game’.” However, to make matters worse, Kim Yeon-kyung was excluded from the selection for the first time this season. As the symptoms of enteritis that started on the 4th continued, he had to watch the game in the warm-up zone.
Heungkuk Life Insurance suffered a measles once due to the incomprehensible dismissal of the manager and the clumsy explanation of the new general manager. However, while the work of appointing a new coach was in trouble, even Kim Yeon-kyung, who was thinking regarding her next destination as a free agent (FA) following this season, disappeared from the court, making her feel uncomfortable both inside and outside of the victory.
Heungkuk Life Insurance defeated IBK Industrial Bank, which had twice as many crime rooms as 28, 3-1 (25-23 30-28 23-25 26-24). Yelena led the attack with 28 points, and Kim Da-eun, who took the place of Kim Yeon-kyung as an outside hitter in her 4th year of debut, scored 19 points and added strength.
