Women's professional volleyball GS Caltex has been reduced to an injury ward.

I'm having a rough early season. The team is on the verge of losing 13 consecutive games, the most ever in the team history. GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek said, "The time to blame injuries has passed," vowing to make a breakthrough.

GS Caltex fell into a quagmire for 12 consecutive losses as it lost set score 1-3 to Jeonggwanjang in the third round of the women's division of the 2024-2025 Dodram V League at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 21st. GS Caltex won one game after three consecutive losses in the opening of this season, and has lost all games since the game against IBK Industrial Bank on Nov. 6. The record for the most consecutive losses in the women's division is far from 23 consecutive losses (Pepper Savings Bank 2023-2024 season), but GS Caltex is reviving the team's biggest losing streak in 18 years. GS Caltex lost 13 consecutive games in the 2005-2006 season. If he loses one more round, it is a disgraceful tie.

There is an inevitable aspect. The main players suffered a string of injuries. Of course, a foreign player, who has a very large proportion of the team's power, was injured. On November 28, main gun Gisele Silva and Asian quarter Stephanie Weiler collapsed at the same time in the Heungkuk Life Insurance match. However, Silva returned after about two weeks. Wyler is out of the season. GS Caltex has found a new player. In addition, outside heater Kim Joo-hyang, Kwon Min-ji, and middle blocker Choi Ga-eun are not in normal condition. It is a situation where we have to rely on one Silva, and this is also possible only when domestic players support it to some extent.

The team's atmosphere is also ridiculous as the losing streak continues. GS Caltex has a lot of ups and downs, especially with many young players. Coach Lee Young-taek diagnosed that a turnaround is possible once he wins at least one game. Coach Lee Young-taek said, `As the players lose consecutive games, they feel depressed. There is also a lot of pressure. We are having a lot of conversations through meetings. I think we can rebound if we win once. I believe the players can do it. Injured players are also returning one by one, so they can rebound with just one opportunityexpected "

GS Caltex won the first set against Jeong Kwan-jang, who was on a five-game winning streak. Despite his inferiority in power, he showed off his potential after a close game. However, from the second set, the receiving hole was pierced and collapsed out of control. He slipped without making a significant turnaround until the fourth set. Coach Lee Young-taek said "As Wyler fell out, the height decreased a lot. I wasn't prepared at all for the opponent's attack."

I can't think of a pointed number. Coach Lee Young-taek said, `We can't just regret the injured player forever. I'll find a way. It's true that it's a difficult situation, but I'll keep looking for it while agonizing with the players and coaching staff." We must objectively diagnose and accept reality. Coach Lee Young-taek said, `They say it's because there are many injured players, but to be honest, it should be seen as a skill. Me too, and I think we need to admit that we lack skills and train and play."

Fortunately, the recruitment of new Asian quarter players is imminent. Director Lee Young-taek said, `It is expected that we will be able to announce it soon. He will join from the fourth round at the latest."
