The tone was calm, very gentlemanly, but there was confidence in it. Will Hyundai Capital be able to fly in with head coach Philip Blanc.
Director Blanc made his Korean debut. Hyundai Capital, led by head coach Blanc, beat OK Savings Bank 3-0 in the opening game of the 2024 Tongyeong Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Championship (hereinafter referred to as the Cup) at Tongyeong Gymnasium on the 21st.
Blanc will lead Hyundai Capital as the successor of Choi Tae-woong, who retired during last season. It's not a regular league, but it's my first official win in Korea. Director Blanc said "I feel good. We need the driving force of victory to step up from the project we have to carry out. I'm glad I won." "There is a system I want to create, and I saw the possibility that I could succeed.," he said, drawing a positive future.
Of course, it wasn't perfect. Blanc said, `We need to make up for many mistakes. In the first set, there were many mistakes in our serve, and the opponent's defense was good. Because we made a predictable attack..."
On the performance of Hyundai Capital players in their first official match, Blanc said, `He showed good performance as captain. Thank you for making the team one. Leo is also coming up after returning from injury. The player I especially want to emphasize is Shin Feng. At an important moment, he strengthened his victory with four serve aces. Lee Hyun-seung also played for the first time as the main setter, and he played well."
When asked about his last impression of his first V-League game, Blanc said it was special because it was his first game. It was also surprising that the game was suspended in the third set (due to protests by the opponent team). It was also impressive that the players warmed up in the hallway. Those images are memorable."
As the cup continued for two consecutive games in one place, Korean Air and KB Insurance players, the second game, were forced to warm up in the hallway.
