I wasn't going to tell you, but Hyojin... A bolt out of the blue, injured in a watershed in the fight for No. 1

Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung sighed ahead of the fifth round match against IBK Industrial Bank of Korea in the women's division of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Hwaseong Gymnasium on the 4th. This is because middle blocker Yang Hyo-jin, the core of his power, is being treated for back discomfort. It's not a big injury that requires you to leave for a long time, but the head coach has to play without Yang Hyo-jin at a time when the lead fight is so fierce that one win is disappointing.
Coach Kang said "Hyo-jin is not feeling well, so we decided to take a break from the game today. I feel uncomfortable around my waist. It's not a big injury, but I decided to give him a break. I'm going to play the next game, but I have to watch. If it gets better right away, I think I'll run even though I'm still getting treatment" he said.
Kim Ho-chul, director of IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, said on the news of Yang Hyo-jin's absence from injury "Are you hurt a lot?After asking anxiously ", it would be a little easier for us to do without Hyo-jin. The center is not higher than other teams, so Hyojin is one of the most threatening players to us, but since there is no player, I think we can use it a little more in the center" he said.
As of the 4th, Hyundai E&C is in second place with 16 wins, 8 losses and 50 points in the season. It trails No. 1 Heungkuk Life Insurance (58 points) by 8 points. With only five to six rounds left at the moment, if it goes further here, Hyundai Engineering & Construction has no choice but to give up its lead fight and use a strategy to keep the second place in reality. Hyundai Engineering & Construction wants to continue its hopes of a first-place fight by building as many wins as possible in the fifth round.
Coach Kang said, "(Every round) I thought I would play spring volleyball at 4 wins and 2 losses, and at least 3 wins and 3 losses. I was good before that. It's because we won 14 consecutive games and 12 consecutive games, but we ran well at our pace without losing in a row. In the fourth round, the Jeonggwanjang match was the most regrettable. It was regrettable that the aftermath went all the way to Heungkuk Life Insurance as it led the second set and failed to resolve it at 24 points. I think the game will be decided in the fifth round. If it happens here, you have to come up with another plan. I think it's important to keep up in the beginning," he said emphatically.

Coach Kang said, `Moma's knees don't take much training. When you meet a team with a good height, (the attack success rate) drops a lot. We have to solve this problem. In the third and fourth rounds, the score came out well in the center, but Hyo-jin decided to take a break today, so Moma will take more possession from the side. Hyo-jin's scoring ability should also come out from the side."
IBK Industrial Bank of Korea is not expected to step down. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea is ranked fourth with 12 wins and 13 losses and 37 points in the season. It has a 10-point gap with the third-place Jeong Kwan-jang (47 points), and the gap must be reduced to less than three points to look at the semi-playoff or higher.
Coach Kim Ho-chul said, `I kept thinking about how to put Victoria in a position where I could use it. It depends on the condition. Since he lacks the ability to control when playing on his own, he needs a good start to go well. Otherwise, it would be frustrating to play a shrinking game until the end. Still, we can't be absent from our team. I'm the only player who can score points, so it's hard, but I'm asking for help and doing many thingsHe expected more attacks against Hyundai Engineering & Construction without Yang Hyo-jin.
