Korean Air won the match against Samsung Fire & Marine in the 2020-21 V-League held at the Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 9th with a set score of 3-1 (25-13 25-22 22-25 25-19). Korean Air scored 14-7, 41 points, pulled down KB Insurance (13-8, 39 points) and regained the sole lead. In addition, Korean Air, which had been confused by three consecutive losses, including coach Roberto Santili’s excessive protests in the last game, and disciplinary action for suspension of the first game, escaped from the third consecutive victory. Samsung Fire & Marine Corp. has not escaped the 6th place.
It was overwhelmed by 14-4 in blocking goals. Center Cho Jae-young raised 11 points (100% offensive success rate) including 6 blockings, and center Lee Soo-hwang and a setter player scored 2 blockings each, and 7 of the players who were put on the day scored more than 1 point by blocking. In the attack, both left and right double guns, Lim Dong-hyuk (25 points, 61.8%) and Ji Seok (17 points, 62.5%), still showed off their firepower.
On the other hand, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance could not withstand the strong serve of Korean Air. The receive efficiency was 23.5%, far less than that of Korean Air (37.5%). Hwang Kyung-min, who has good defensive power, fell into pain in the external oblique muscles, but the gap was large.
Korean Air coach Santili said, “We are back with Korean Air’s volleyball.” “Cho Jae-young’s blocking is the best in the team. We also made changes in the sub, and that change was successful.” “I look forward to serving and attacking,” said Yosbani, a new foreign player preparing to join. (If you join) it will increase the team value.”
