"My personal opinion is that the MVP of the second round is Lee Go-eun, not me."

Heungkuk Life Insurance won a 3-0 shutout victory in the third round match against Pepper Savings Bank at Samsan Gymnasium in Incheon on the 10th, winning the opening 13 consecutive games.

It was amicable even before the game. Kim Yeon-kyung's award ceremony, who was selected as MVP in the second round, was held. Kim Yeon-koung, who received the award, attracted her colleagues, saying, "Let's take a picture together, not alone." Director Avonja, who was watching the scene, gave a surprise bouquet of flowers. Smiles spread in the players' mouths, and the players pulled their arms, asking for manager Avon Danza to join them. Such a heartwarming commemorative photo was left. This is the part that shows the team atmosphere of Heungkuk Life. The game couldn't help but unravel.




However, Kim Yeon-kyung, who led the team to 13 consecutive wins, said something unexpected. Kim Yeon-koung said, `I personally don't think I'm the MVP of the second round. My thoughts are with Lee Go-eun."

Lee Go-eun joined the setter ahead of this season through a trade. Heungkuk Life's attacks become colorful due to Lee Go-eun's stable toss, making it difficult for the opposing team to stop it. Kim Yeon-koung's presence is certainly great, but Heungkuk Life is not currently a team where Kim Yeon-koung is alone in volleyball. From the two foreign players, Tutku and Fitch, to Korean players such as Kim Soo-ji and Jung Yoon-joo, the team is in very good harmony. In particular, aside from Kim Yeon-kyung and Kim Soo-ji, they are almost a new team compared to last season, and the setter plays a big role in the team's good teamwork from the beginning.

Coach Avon Danja said, `I love how the players play as a team. In particular, the setter has been upgraded greatly " Lee Go-eun is very good. I like the training, the attitude I want to do, the effort to do something, etc. He plays for the team rather than himself. A good setter, I think, is this setter."

Kim Yeon-koung also joined the team. He is "Lee Go-eun's big part. I think the team is in harmony because the setter is an important position and he played a very good intermediate role. If we talk, the feedback is positive, and we keep trying. He is the type to lead by example without learning how to play tricks. It's nice to see. So I think I'm getting good skills," he said with a thumbs-up.
