Heungkuk Life coach Marcello Avonza watched the devastating defeat and was firmly angry. Heungkuk Life Insurance was completely defeated by a set score of 0-3 (12-25, 21-25, 16-25) in the third round match against Heungkuk Life in the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Suwon Gymnasium on the 20th. The dignity of the first place was not found at all in the game.
Heungkuk Life has maintained its leading solo system with 14 consecutive wins at the start of this season. However, he was on the verge of going downhill as he lost set score 1-3 at Jeonggwanjangjeon in Incheon on the 17th and lost for two consecutive games. In the Jeonggwanjangjeon, the main catcher Tutku Bourgeois left due to a knee injury and lost a lot in many ways.
Manager Avon Daza emphasized that the absence of main gun Tutku should not lead to a crisis. He "I think this is going to be the most difficult time. I don't know how many matches I've won in the last 5 years without Apogit Spiker (Tutku). At times like this, I think I should try to grow and win as a team. (Tutku's physical condition) is not good. I think we have to wait and see to say that we can't run for exactly some time. Moon Ji-yoon, Choi Eun-ji, and Kim Dae-eun, we'll see who will fill the vacancies better," he stressed.
Contrary to the expectations of the head coach, Heungkuk Life was dragged around by Hyundai Engineering & Construction without using any strength. During the third set, Hyundai Engineering & Construction had five serve aces, but Heungkuk Life's receiving itself collapsed completely, so neither offense nor defense was done.

After the game, Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung said, `The height was lowered because the opponent's foreign player (Tutku) was sick. Setter (Kim) Dine seems to have distributed well here and there. The receiving was good, so various scores came out. I don't want to be pushed to one side. I think Dain won because he did well," he said. It meant that Heungkuk Life's blocking wall was not that high, so it was easy to solve the attack.
Avondaga did not want to use the Tutku vacancy as a reason for his defeat. "I might say that I didn't have a day to prepare (completely) because it was a two-day game, but it's not an excuse that I didn't have Tutku. I can lose, but I don't think I should lose by shutdown with this attitude or this performance," he said emphatically.
Then "It may be the aftermath of the tight schedule in December, but today's game (20th) was played by players who haven't played much before." I think I could find the reason why they didn't play well,' he said, adding that he scolded the players he expected as substitutes.
First of all, it is urgent to fix the losing streak so that it does not get longer at a time when Tutku will return. Manager Avon Danza said "You have to play volleyball. We have to show our characters. Today's game was lost due to shutdown because it failed to show the character. I think this needs to change," he stressed.
