[서울신문] Four games in ten days… Korean Air meets turbulence

Domestic athletes’ physical limitations due to Vijena’s injury

Can Korean Air go through the crisis of January and get on the rising air?

Korean Air, which had been in the lead until the middle of the third round, gave KB Insurance (38 points) the first place by one point with 37 points until the 5th. It is two points different from OK Financial Group, which is the third place. The first to third places all have a 13-6 record, so the rankings can fluctuate every game.

In this situation, Korean Air is ahead of a death march that will play four games for ten days from the 6th. Foreign player Andres Bjena (registered name Bjena) survived for two months with a tripod of Jung Ji-seok, Lim Dong-hyuk, and Kwak Seung-seok as they left with a knee injury. However, the physical strength of domestic players has reached the limit.

Hyundai Capital (6th), Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance (9th), Woori Card (12th), and KB Insurance (15th). It’s not just one team. However, at the beginning of the death march, Hyundai Capital and Samsung Fire Insurance, which were classified as relatively weak, must earn as much victory points as possible.

There is also a confrontation with KB Insurance and Woori Card (30 points), which are competitors in the rankings. If you do, you can fall without wings.

Korean Air’s physical fitness problem has been detected since last month. On the 23rd of last month, OK Financial Group and Woori Card suffered a losing streak due to a lack of one decisive hit after 5 sets each. Reduced the absence of mercenaries.

Fortunately, Yosvani Hernandez (registered name Yosvani) arrived in Korea on the 3rd. After two weeks of self-isolation, he will join the team. Yosbani has much experience in Korea, so there is no problem with adapting. A Korean Air official said, “Yosbani is expected to play V-League season debut with OK Financial Group on the 22nd.”
