"In principle, it is right to press international regulations as soon as possible." However, the environment is different from that of Korea."

The V-League is noisy due to outside the game. Following a foreign coach's mockery of the opposing team's coach, abusive confrontations between foreign players, and video reading controversy that does not fit the situation, saying, `follow international regulations.'

It also broke out in a Christmas match watched by numerous volleyball fans. GS Caltex and Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which suffered from endless losses, broke out in a showdown.




In the third set with Hyundai E&C leading 2-0 set score, GS Caltex was leading 16-15.

Yang Hyo-jin seemed to be kicking up Kwon Min-ji's attack, and Jung Ji-yoon's attack took place through Moma and Lee Da-hyun. Hyundai Engineering & Construction's score was recognized, but GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek requested a video review. It was pointed out that Hyundai Engineering & Construction's four-hit (he failed to turn the ball over to the opponent's court in three times).

Kwon Dae-jin, however, did not accept the video review itself. According to the V-League regulations that changed before this season, Pohit said 'Middle Rally (The request for a video review should be made during the rally before the referee declares the score. The reason was that it belongs to the opponent's score at the time of the misjudgment, and the opponent's score at the time of the sincerity judgment).




Coach Lee Young-taek played hard, but he was only warned about the delay in the game. In the end, the situation, which should have been 17-15, became 16-16, and GS Caltex collapsed as it was, falling into the quagmire of 13 consecutive losses, the most consecutive losses since its foundation.

After the game, head coach Lee Young-taek said "I couldn't stop the middle rally because it wasn't a foul until the last Jung Ji-yoon hit." The ball was touched, and the referee saw the previous situation as a normal play. On our bench, we thought it was a hit and pressed the buzzer (video reading). He complained of frustration, saying, "I can't receive a request for reading because it's after the ball dead, when the hell am I supposed to press the buzzer?"

The V League match between Woori Card and Korean Air at Jangchung Gymnasium on the 12th. Winning Woori Card coach Mauricio Paes is delighted. Jangchung = Reporter Park Jae-man pjm@sportschosun.com /2024.12.12/
Middle Rally is a new regulation introduced by the V League since this season to keep pace with the international volleyball trend. However, not only coach Lee Young-taek but also foreign coaches are regretting the application of the V-League's middle rally. A similar situation came out in the Woori Card-Hyundai Capital match earlier, and Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc also strongly protested.




The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) reviewed the regulations in question on the 26th, but will maintain its current stancecame to the conclusion that ' It sent an official letter to 14 men's and women's volleyball teams containing the same information.

Woori Card coach Mauricio Paes is a veteran who has been a volleyball leader for more than 20 years in France, Japan, Ukraine, Iran, and the Czech Republic. He also watched the problematic four-hit situation in the Hyundai Capital match earlier.

Head coach Paes hesitated to answer, saying, `The V-League regulations are like that, but would there be any changes just because I talk about it?' However, Midlaley carefully opened his mouth when he said, `The rules introduced by the V-League, which had been criticized for having many local rules, to keep up with the world volleyball trend.' "In principle, it is right for international regulations to request video reading as soon as possible," he explained, "but the situation is different from that of Korea."

"There have already been voices of concern at the technical committee in September about the current situation. At that time, you don't have to worry too much. It's the first season, and I understand that the coach and the head coach need time to communicate. But the reality after the league started seems to be different."

A match between KB Insurance and Hyundai Capital in the men's volleyball V-League was held at Ansan Sangnoksu Gymnasium on the 14th. Acting KB Insurance manager Martin Blanco watching the game. Ansan = Song Jeong-heon Reporter's songs@sportschosun.com/2024.12.14/
Head coach Paes sympathized with head coach Lee Young-taek's argument, saying, `The head coach can't beat the buzzer in anticipation of (the opponent's) four hits.'

Then "The time when the fourth touch was a foul, but he said he couldn't apply for a reading after he was already declared (scoring)…In some cases, video reading regulations are slightly different, such as in the Polish League. In the case of international competitions, video reading requests can be made quickly with tablets. After 8 seconds, the Video Read Request button is not activated. However, the situation is different in Korea."

Acting KB Insurance Director Martin Blanco said, `I've heard that story, but I haven't seen the video myself. It's hard to say"I agonized.

He added "There is a similar situation in overseas leagues. In principle, it is right to stop as soon as a foul occurs and request (read). Judges are human beings, too. You can make a mistake. The play could already be over without us pressing the buzzer either"It must have been a difficult situation (from the director's point of view)."
