[인천=이데일리 스타in 이석무 기자] Bruna Morais (22, Brazil), a female professional volleyball player who used to be a’ugly duckling’, transformed into a’swan’ in the morning.
Bruna led Heungkuk Life’s set score 3-1 victory by scoring 30 points, the most in the team, in a match against the KGC Ginseng Corporation, the women’s club in the 2020-21 V League, held at Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium on the 19th.
As for Heungkuk Life, where Sisters Jae-young Lee and Da-young broke away from their full force due to school violence, Bruna’s activities on this day were very nice. Thanks to Bruna’s contribution, Heungkuk Life has not only escaped from the recent 4th straight victory, but also raised the atmosphere of the team that has been extremely subsided.
Bruna joined Heungkuk Life Insurance during the season as a substitute for Lucia Fresco, who escaped from injury. However, life in Korea was never smooth. Upon entering Korea on the 8th of last month, he was positive in the Corona 19 test and was unable to join the team immediately and had to enter the Life Therapy Center.
After twists and turns, I joined the team, but this time, internal problems related to Lee Jae-young and her sister have adapted. It was difficult to properly breathe with the players because the atmosphere was upset.
Since I was in the game with less body and my hands and feet were not suitable, I couldn’t get a proper performance. It was all that he had scored 20 points in the last five games. The attack success rate was only in the early 20% range. As the game didn’t go down, my confidence fell. On the court, the look of feeling weak.
However, he became a completely different player before the KGC Ginseng Game on the 19th. The total scored in the previous five games jumped well in one game. Even the main attacker Kim Yeon-kyung (24 points) was responsible for more points. The attack success rate also reached 45.6%.
Bruna, who could not see an answer until only three days ago, was able to transform into splendor thanks to the help and encouragement of Kim Yeon-kyung and other colleagues.
Bruna said, “Honestly, it was true that I had a hard time, and it was a lot different from the Brazilian League, and I was embarrassed.” ”
Kim Yeon-kyung constantly worked hard to save Bruna’s spirit in a difficult situation. Even during the game, whenever Bruna succeeded in attacking, he hugged and strengthened him.
Kim Yeon-kyung said, “It has been less than a month since I practiced with Bruna, but because the team situation was bad, it would have been difficult for me to adjust.” “Before today’s game, Bruna said,’It’s a lot of pressure, so please help.’” “I feel proud that Bruna has overcome the hardship,” he said. “Not only me, but many fellow players helped Bruna.”
Bruna said it was still amazing to play with the world-famous star Kim Yeon-kyung. He said, “It’s great to be attacking next to (Kim) Yeon-kyung,” he said. In addition, “(Kim) Yeon-kyung’s sister is funny and surprising,” and “It’s nice to be able to play with such a player,” he said.
Bruna’s future goal is to prove that her performance on this day is by no means a surprise. “I am trying to believe in myself a lot,” he stressed, “I am about 80% of my original skills now, and I need to improve in the future.”
