Changed Women’s Volleyball Team “In the Past, The Coach Joined Right Before Leaving the Country…”
Jeong Ji-yoon “The preparation process is different from previous years… If we push hard, we will have a chance of winning in the VNL”
Kang So-hwi “The coach believes in us, so the team atmosphere has improved… I am confident of one win.”
The women’s volleyball team began the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) hosted by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) in a chaotic atmosphere in 2022.
Coach Cesar Hernández Gonzalez, who was leading the national team at the time, arrived in Korea late due to the schedule of the club team he was simultaneously leading. 카지노사이트탑
It was just three days before leaving for the United States to participate in VNL.
The performance of the national team, which prepared for the tournament without a head coach, could not have been good.
Moreover, the national team was in the process of a generational change, so the chemistry between players was not perfect.
In the end, Korea achieved the worst performance in the VNL, not winning a single game.
This atmosphere continued until the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held last year.
The national team, which recently appointed new coach Fernando Morales, is preparing for the VNL with a different attitude than previous years.
Coach Morales, who arrived in the country early, is leading the players’ training while focusing on restoring the team atmosphere.
The changed atmosphere is felt best by the players.
National team outside heater Jeong Ji-yoon (Hyundai Engineering & Construction) said in an interview with reporters after completing the media open training held at the Jungang Girls’ High School gymnasium in Bukahyeon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on the 1st, “In the past, I felt unprepared because I trained in the absence of the head coach, but this year is different.”
“Coach (Morales) is ordering the style he pursues, and the players are preparing for the Volleyball Nations League based on this,” he said.
