‘Red pepper powder troops’ Hyundai Capital completes a break in KEPCO’s busy way to go
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Hyeon-gu = “Now, you seem to have risen from the youth volleyball team to the level of the Universiade (U) national team?”
On the 4th, a word from an official at Hyundai Capital is significant.
One of the growing dramas that Hyundai Capital is writing down for the 2020-2021 season of men’s professional volleyball is more exciting as it approaches the end. It is not a ‘cloak’, but a healthy message, giving even impressions.
After finishing the first game in the second round of this season, Hyundai Capital made a large trade on November 13 last year to hand over the sign center Shin Yeong-seok and the tall setter Hwang Joong-il to KEPCO.
Instead of an immediate victory, they looked forward and turned to improvement and rebuilding during the season.
However, the young prospects who seized the opportunity were left behind due to lack of experience.
Coach Tae-woong Choi encouraged him not to be afraid of failure, but to go viciously, but he fell to the point of being unable to pursue the top-ranking team that had already run away.
So it was a criticism that the words that came out were “like a youth volleyball team,” with high school students who are not pros.
Then, Hyundai Capital has grown to the same level as the national team in the U tournament where college students participate.
He won 4-2 in the 4th round and climbed to the 2nd place in the rounds, and is also cruising with 2-1 in the 5th round.
On the 4th, Hyundai Capital completely destroyed KEPCO with a set score of 3-0 and sprayed a large amount of hot red pepper powder in Suwon Gymnasium.
Daudi O’Kello (registered name Daudi), Huh Su-bong, who grows as the team’s ace after being discharged from the military, and newbie Kim Seon-ho, who joined the draft as a whole, scored 43 points to smash the KEPCO court.
Hyundai Capital gained confidence by defeating the leading Korean Air in the fourth round, and will lead the season with 4 wins and 1 loss against Woori Card of organizational power.
KB Insurance lost 5 games and OK Financial Group lost 4 games. Because of that, it is still only 6th, 9 points behind KEPCO in 5th place.
However, if Hyundai Capital reaps the momentum against OK Financial Group on the 12th of New Year’s Day and reaps the first victory of the season, the stagnant ranking game may fluctuate.
No team can easily see Hyundai Capital, which has won 6-3 in recent 9 games.
It has been a long time since the women’s game outpaced the men’s game in TV ratings.
Korean women’s volleyball has advanced to the Olympics three times in a row, and the presence of superstar Kim Yeon-kyung, who returned to Korea after 11 years, and Heungkuk Life Insurance and GS Caltex’s emerging rivals, enhance the fun of watching women’s teams.
However, volleyball players are concerned that the women’s performance this season has fallen the most in recent years.
At the same time, it is regrettable that the male team’s performance has improved more than usual, but the ratings are overwhelmed by the women’s division so that the victory or loss cannot be predicted until the end.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Hyundai Capital is holding the key to the men’s box office toward the end of the season.
