Can they succeed in revenge? 

On the 3rd, in the 5th round of the men’s division of the ‘2022-23 season Dodram V-League’ held at Jangchung Gymnasium, Woori Card and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance will clash.

Currently, Woori Card is in third place with 39 cumulative points 메이저놀이터 (14 wins and 11 losses), but OK Financial Group is chasing after it with only two points. It is important not to lose momentum as we just overturned the standings in the third round. This is why the game on this day is important to Woori Card. You have to win at least two points to widen the gap with OK Financial Group. 

However, Woori Card suffered two consecutive losses to Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance and KB Insurance, which were lower teams before and after the All-Star Game. In particular, at the time of the Samsung Firefighting, it was in a state of exhaustion because it took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in a row in a situation where the main power supply was deserted due to the spread of Corona 19.

We went back and met in the 5th round. Our card is at a disadvantage when it comes to conserving stamina. While Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance took 8 days off before playing, Woori Card only took 2 days off. It is expected to be a battle of physical strength and sense of game. When the economy is prolonged, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance will gain a relative advantage. 

Woori Card manager Shin Young-chul, whom we met before the game, expressed regret about the previous game. Coach Shin smiled broadly, saying, “We have a busy road ahead, and it’s a pity that we only got 1 point when we needed to get 3 points.” 

It is also regrettable that the upper ranks were defeated in succession and the tail was stepped on by the lower ranks. Director Shin emphasized that “the ball is round”. “The ball does not lie, problems arise when concentration is low, but it is difficult for players to be consistent because they are human,” he said, expressing his gratitude to the players who did their best. 

In addition, a detailed explanation followed about the fact that the scale of opportunity tilted for rookie Kim Ji-han rather than veteran Song Hee-chae. He said, “In terms of the content of the game, (Song) Hee-chae is better in defense, and (Kim) Ji-han is better in offense.” If you overcome this on your own, you can find your place again, and since you are not a child, you have to work hard to find that place.

Director Shin foresaw the ‘future’. He said, “Players born in 1999 are the kids who will carry Korean volleyball, (Kim) Yohan and Moon Seong-min were a bit rare, but now the 99-year-old line is quite good, such players have to play games and secure fans while going. It is my personal opinion that Ji-han should go all the way.” The match will be held shortly after at 7pm.
