Korean Air has virtually moved away from the competition for the championship. He had to be satisfied with two points by sweating over KEPCO, which was missing foreigners. Korean Air players are also effectively acknowledging Hyundai Capital's victory.

Korean Air won a set-score 3-2 (21-25, 25-23, 28-30, 25-22, 15-10) in the men's fifth round of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Suwon Gymnasium on the 4th. For KEPCO, both foreign players Mateus and main gun Seo Jae-deok were absent. Korean Air was on the verge of defeat against Korea Electric Power Corp. and revived. I was glad I didn't lose.

With 11 games left in the regular season, it is 18 points behind Hyundai Capital, which is ranked first.




Korean Air coach Tommy Tilikainen reflected "In the end, I found a way to win and won, but it wasn't a great volleyball game." Korean Air dragged it to the third set deuce and drove the attack to foreign player Yosvani, but it collapsed with a mistake. It wasn't until the fourth set, which was driven to the edge of the cliff, that it began to show the superiority of its power.

Coach Tilikainen said, `We need to solve the side-out attack well. I feel like I've weakened unlike before. There must be a lot of reasons, but it's difficult to tell you here."

The reason why there are so many matches in the 5th set is because he's not good at it'` he laughed despondently. "From the opponent's point of view, it is said that our team is that difficult, but on the contrary, if we did well early, there were many games that could be finished short. Even today, just looking at the third set, I was mixed because of one point."




He eventually blamed the manager. He "It's my responsibility. You have to find a way to get your team to win. Players, of course, just focus on the play. Isn't this the coach's destiny. You have to accept it."

Yosvani, who scored 31 points alone, also sympathized with the problem. Yosvani said "I think we're off to a loose start. We have to go strong from the beginning. I think it's because I got caught in the first set and the second set"I looked back.

Even the setter and his breathing are not perfect yet. Josbani "It is true that the rhythm is incomplete. You have to get it right. That's our role. They also train hard to do so. There will be a day when we will fit in well"

Yosvani faced the reality, saying, "I'm not satisfied with the players themselves, but the coach is not happy." He said "It's natural that the director is disappointed. We didn't have the best performance on the court either. We, the players, are also disappointed."

It also acknowledged the situation in which Hyundai Capital's pursuit has become difficult. Yosvani said "It's important to finish the regular season on a good note first. We are watching the championship game. We have to go to the playoffs and championship game in a good atmosphere. In order to do this, a good atmosphere is formed only when communication, communication, and firmness are made. That's how we should finish the regular league," he stressed. Lee Joon, who scored 12 points, also said, `It would be nice to catch Hyundai Capital, but we have to think about the playoffs and the championship game. The first thing is to make sure that the play we practice comes off the court. I think we should all go together without any injuries."
