Korean Air Jumbos and Woori Card Woori WON will play the fourth round of the men's team in the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 22nd.
Korean Air is in second place with 13 wins, 8 losses and 43 points, 15 points behind Hyundai Capital (20 wins, 2 losses, 58 points). Woori Card (11 wins and 10 losses and 29 points) is in fourth place, four points behind KB Insurance (12 wins and 10 losses and 33 points).
Both teams have three points in their spring volleyball journey.
Korean Air returned from KEPCO on the 17th after Jeong Han-yong failed to play due to an ankle injury after the match against Hyundai Capital on December 25 last year. He has been playing the role of a housekeeper in the team with a 269-point attack success rate of 47.06% receiving efficiency of 41.25% in 18 games this season, but he is not 100% physical yet. In the match against KEPCO, he only hit four serves.
Korean Air coach Tommy Tilikainen said, `It's been about a week since Jeong's normal training. I think I'm ready to come in and I have to see how much I'll step on the court. It's coming in as a sub replacement."
Woori Card also has a history of recovering from injury and returning. Nicolich returns to normal. Nicholich also returned to the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance match on the 18th after suffering an abdominal injury after the Korea Electric Power Corporation match on December 31 last year.
Mauricio Paes, manager of Woori Card, said "Physically, he is 100 percent. However, in terms of performance, preparation is necessary because the period of not playing is long. Players also need time to adapt. He said, "I recovered well, and I have confidence in my physical condition, so I have no problem with putting in the game."
Although Woori Card is not ranked this season, it showed a strong performance against Korean Air with two wins and one loss out of three games in the first half. "I don't know if there's any particular reason," Paes said. I'm trying to do my best no matter what opponent I meet. Due to the nature of volleyball, there is no way to stop it if you are too good. Whether it's Korean Air or other teams, we're always preparing for the game in the same direction", he explained.
Coach Tilikainen said, "(The previous three games) were close to each other, and I lost because I couldn't score a point. But now I think another battle is starting. I think today's biggest key point is attack"
