“Thank you Park Cheol-woo.”
KEPCO coach Kwon Young-min won with a set score of 3-1 (20-25 25-22 25-21 25-23) in the Dodram 2022-2023 V-League Men’s Round 5 match against Hyundai Capital held at Suwon Gymnasium on the 5th, winning 4 consecutive wins. After the success of the , I applauded the veteran Park Cheol-woo.
Opposite spiker Park Cheol-woo, who represented the V-League, has less time on the court this season. Due to the presence of Seo Jae-deok, who even received, there were many situations where he waited in the warm-up zone and went into a one-point blocker for a while. However, on this day, Park Cheol-woo transformed into a middle blocker instead of an aposite and participated as a substitute.
Director Kwon said, “I’m sorry for Cheol-woo, but he carefully asked for a middle blocker. He said he was thankful for the team. He has a blocking ability, so he practiced for two weeks. I think the fastball needs more practice. He will get better,” he said. A position change was considered to make use of Park Cheol-woo, who had a good height, but Park Cheol-woo decided to sacrifice his pride for his team. Seo Jae-deok said, “Actually, from a player’s point of view, it can feel self-defeating, but as a senior, seeing how he tries to help, we do our best. That part fills the hole. Thanks to that, I think a good performance comes out.”
KEPCO suffered difficulties such as losing 9 games in a row in the middle of the season, but is continuing its momentum by recording 6 wins and 1 loss in the last 7 games. After defeating the leader Korean Air in the last game, they continued their winning streak by winning against the second place today.
The biggest driving force is that the transfer student setter Ha Seung-woo and wing spikers such as Thais, Seo Jae-deok, and Lim Seong-jin are in sync. Director Kwon said, “I originally thought it would take six months to a year. Breathing right now We are showing 80-90% of what we can show.” 메이저사이트
While the performance of the main players is rising, the main factor in the rise of KEPCO is that backup members, like Park Cheol-woo, add strength in one way or another. Not only Park Cheol-woo, but also Jang Ji-won as a libero and Kim Kwang-guk as a setter played their part as substitutes in the match. Jang Ji-won said, “Like the word ‘We are one team’, we are trying to unite as one team.”
Thanks to this, KEPCO does not collapse easily even in a situation where it falls behind in a set score or is pushed back during a game. On the contrary, he drives his opponent with stronger mental power and wins. Seo Jae-deok said, “In the first half, I didn’t know what to do if I collapsed once. In the second half, there was plenty of room. I think we are having a good game because we create the atmosphere ourselves.” Coach Kwon was also encouraged by the change, saying, “The players have gained the strength to follow without giving up even if they lose.”
KEPCO recorded 38 points with the victory that day, beating OK Financial Group (37 points) and rose to fourth place. He pursued to the bottom of the third place Woori Card (39 points). Looking at the recent trend, a jump to third place seems quite possible.
