He cited winning the Kobo Cup as the driving force behind his winning the first place in the regular league. Blanc said "It was a success that no one expected. I was able to feel that the players could do it themselves, and I was able to create a system that fits the team," he said, explaining the meaning of winning the Kobo Cup. Blanc continued "We've played with seven regular players, so we need a break now. I think other players need to pull themselves up tooHe expressed his intention to use the players evenly in the sixth round.
On this day, Jeon Kwang-in was selected as the starting player instead of Shin Feng, strengthening his defense. When asked if he was willing to appoint Jeon Kwang-in in the championship match because he was unstable in defense such as sub-receiving when he was recently defeated by KB Insurance or Korean Air, Blanc told the behind-the-scenes story of Jeon Kwang-in's starting match. Manager Blanc said, `In fact, Shin Feng had a little enteritis today, so Jeon Kwang-in came out as the starter.' `I decided to use the energy left for Shin Feng only for blocking and serving.'
However, it is clear that the appointment of Jeon Kwang-in as a starter is a matter to be fully considered. Director Blanc said, `It's a completely different system when Shin Feng comes out and when Jeon Kwang-in comes out. Shin Feng has good blocking and serve, and Jeon Kwang-in reinforces Leo's receiving"Lately, Leo's receiving has fallen compared to last month. I think the current system will help Leo at the moment."
