“Everyone was really desperate”: Kim Yeon-kyung x Bruna’s outstanding performance, Heungkuk Life escaped from 4 consecutive losses (pictorial)

″Everyone was really desperate (Seungri). It was the most impressive victory this season.”

This is what Kim Yeon-kyung, the captain of Heungkuk Life’s women’s volleyball game, who escaped from the fourth straight victory, said immediately after the game.

Heungkuk Life Insurance defeated KGC Ginseng Corporation held at Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium on the previous day (19th) with a set score of 3-1.

Recently, Heungkuk Life has fallen into a swamp of sluggishness as leading players Lee Jae-young and Da-young Lee were suspended due to controversy over school violence following the discord within the team. In the match against IBK Industrial Bank on the 16th, which was just before the game, he lost by 34 points and recorded 4 consecutive losses.

But this time it was a little different.

As Bruna Morais from Brazil, who joined Heungkuk Life Insurance at the end of last month, perfectly adapted to the team, Kim Yeon-kyung’s scoring ability also survived. On this day, Bruna scored 30 points, including 3 blocking points, and Kim Yeon-kyung also scored 24 points.

After the game, the two showed a moving image of encouraging each other.

Kim Yeon-kyung said, “I talked with Bruna before the game, and Bruna also asked for help. “I am proud of Bruna’s overcoming the difficult situation,” he said. “Many players helped me to do it.”

Bruna said, “Kim Yeon-kyung is a player that Brazilian players also respect a lot. I enjoy running next to my sister,” he said. “Now, it is about 80% of my original skills. I think we should get better.”

Captain Kim Yeon-kyung also carefully talked about the current situation in which Heungkuk Life lies.

Kim Yeon-kyung said, “Even now, every word I say seems to be a cautious situation.” “I didn’t think that I would be able to quickly fill in the empty spot where the two previous players were missing and win. Everyone was really desperate. It was the most impressive victory this season.”

Heungkuk Life Insurance coach Park Mi-hee expressed his gratitude to the players.

Manager Park said, “In difficult situations, the players believed in them and kept their seats until the end. “I was able to see the spirit of sports in our players.” “I am glad that the players went through the difficult process well. We may win or lose in the future, but today’s game will be the most memorable game.”
