This is a clear bench mistake. It is to be held accountable accordingly. However, groundless and unreasonable criticism is exhausting. It is nothing but cyber violence that only leaves scars. GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek admitted his mistake and bowed his head and apologized. Nevertheless, many fans still poured out thorny complaints online after midnight.
GS Caltex lost to Pepper Savings Bank (31-33, 27-25, 24-26, 25-23, 12-15) in the women's fifth round of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 5th after a close game in full set. It was painful to overturn the situation with a lead of 23-16 in the third set. Moreover, in the process, foreign ace Gisele Silva misunderstood the number of shifts, so he only watched at the match. The misunderstanding grew as the broadcast camera caught the scene where director Lee Young-taek caught Silva trying to enter the court.
Coach Lee Young-taek called in Silva Kim Ji-won and put in Ahn Hye-jin and Kim Joo-hyang in the third set 24-21. It was a judgment to arrange Silva's physical strength. However, Silva did not come in even if he was caught up with 24-24 deuce. GS Caltex ended up losing the third set. He led Silva to the fifth set, but it was over.
After the game, coach Lee Young-taek said "I lost today because of me. There was a mistake in replacing the players in the third set" he said. He did so because he said there were four changes left. I made a mistake in changing Kwon Min-ji after relocating earlier. It's my mistake.," he repeatedly blamed himself.
If so, I can understand. Coach Lee Young-taek wrote two with four remaining. Still, I thought there were two more.
However, when he changed Silva, he had three chances to replace him. There was only one left while writing two.
I wonder again. Shouldn't we put Silva back into that one.

In response, head coach Lee Young-taek said "If it had been Jeon Sang, I would have done so, but I thought it was meaningless because Silva was the rear." That part is all my mistake and my fault, he explained.
Of course, this is also a consequential theory. If you put Silva while taking out the setter and you lost, you cannot avoid criticism. On the contrary, if he relied on Silva to score one point while taking out the setter, he would have said that he would only do 'all-out volleyball'. If domestic players had scored just one point in the first place, it wouldn't have been this noisy.
If anything, head coach Lee Young-taek said "I did so just because I had four replacements left." If interpreted as it is, it can be assumed that you did not count yourself. Coach Lee Young-taek would not have wanted to make an excuse that the person who checked it told him wrong. Director Lee Young-taek said, `I will take all the rebukes. I also apologized to the players after the game," he said, turning it all upside down.
