He seemed as happy as he was when he won the championship game. He experienced his best feelings four seasons after he took the helm of the Industrial Bank of Korea in women's volleyball.
IBK Industrial Bank of Korea advanced to the semifinals by winning set score 3-1 in the third Group B match of the Tongyeong Dodram Cup against Heungkuk Life Insurance at Tongyeong Gymnasium in Gyeongnam on the 4th.
The bench was as heated as the players on the court. Heungkuk Life Insurance coach Marcello Avondaza and Industrial Bank of Korea coach Kim Ho-cheol both encouraged the players by boasting their performances.
When the game ended, coach Kim Ho-chul hugged the coaches and the front desk and cheered for them. The commentators even said, "Kim Ho-cheol's reaction seems to have almost won the title." He seemed to be the happiest since he took the helm of the Industrial Bank of Korea.
The players were the same. When Victoria's last attack hit the opponent's court in the 24-21 set in the fourth set, even warm-up zone players rushed to the court and got tangled up. It was as intense as the struggle that ended the game.
Coach Kim Ho-cheol said, "We never won against Heungkuk Life last year. It was six out of six. We couldn't win at all on a day when Heungkuk was good," adding, "We did so well today. The play was done as we wanted and as we prepared. In the third set, we turned the tables and turned them over again. We showed the power we have."
After calming down his excitement, he conducted a cool-headed analysis. "The receiving line needs to be stabilized more. So if the ball allocation starts well, it can make the opponent team suffer more," he said. "Our players are giving 120 percent of the time at this year's championship."
Notably, despite his height of 1 meter 78, Chen has completely changed his body movements, which had been troubled by the slow toss. It was obvious that the IBK strikers were embarrassed by the fast-paced pass. "I think today was a day where my frustration has been resolved. I hope he can take responsibility as a player who is leading our team," coach Kim Ho-cheol said with a big smile.
Foreign player Victoria Danchak's instinct to solve the problem was also outstanding. Victoria scored 27 points (42.6 percent attack success rate), taking responsibility for her team's shot at every crisis she faced. After the defense team was teased several times by Kim Yeon-koung's persistent paint, she also displayed competitive spirit to use paint.
The head coach also said, "If I fail to score, I am determined to solve the next ball somehow. That's why our players like it. I don't collapse down just because I can't do it like last year," adding, "From now on, I'm going to make a variety of fastballs, mobile attacks, and pipes."
Along with Victoria, Hwang Min-kyung also showed stellar performance. Despite suffering from chronic knee injuries, he played an active role in offense and defense and led his team to victory. Notably, he showed off his best performance as "Minky" after scoring 14-14 in the fourth set.
When Chen Shintong's concentrating last block hit at the end of the mega rally in the fourth set 19-19, Kim Ho-cheol roared as if he had pulled a bowstring. "It was a moment when I felt that I could win today. If I had missed it, I would have given it an excuse to counterattack," he said, looking back enthusiastically. "I won because Shintong somehow caught it."
Kim Ha-kyung and Kim Hee-jin, who will be substituted for the team, are also diligently making efforts to change the course of the game. "I will make the most of Kim Hee-jin this season. I wish I could come up with a little more physical strength," coach Kim Ho-cheol said in expressing satisfaction. On Libero Kim Chae-won, he said, "I still need to improve my accuracy, but I am doing better than I thought. I really want to compliment him."
The semifinal match will take place at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The opponent is Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
"It's not easy because it's been two consecutive days. I think I did a good job winning today, and I think I'll leave the modern construction game to the players."
On the other hand, Heungkuk Life Insurance coach Avon Danja appeared exhausted. "Our team was terrible. Notably, the 3rd and 4th sets felt like they were fighting against themselves, not the Industrial Bank of Korea. I lacked the basics," he said.
His biggest concern is foreigners' Tutku. He only scored 12 points (22 percent) on the day. "We had to find other measures to deal with the negative impact of our attack," Abondaji said of Jeong's appointment.
"There's not enough yet. We need to look like foreign players in the 먹튀검증 V-League," he said.
"After all, only one player has confirmed his true value at this year's Cup. We are only 38-year-old Kim Yeon-koung."
