With the news of ‘Kim Yeon-kyung is coming up’
Heungkuk Life Insurance Co., Ltd., ‘Superfast Sold Out’ in all three games on weekdays… Women’s Fog Power Unveiled
No matter how far away, Kim Yeon-kyung, the Volleyball Emperor, runs when she appears.
Kim Yeon-kyung’s craze is also blowing hard at the 2024 Tongyeong and Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Competition KOVO Cup, which is currently being held in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do. This is because Kim Yeon-kyung 36, 192cm will play her first game on the 30th.
The men’s game has been underway since the 21st. The women’s game will be held from the 29th to October 6th.
The most popular team again this time is Heungkuk Life Insurance, which has Kim Yeon-koung. The level of interest in the 14 men’s and women’s teams in the V-League is unrivaled. This can be seen quickly from the KOVO Cup ticket reservation status so far.
Heungkuk Life Insurance will play the group league with Aranmare, Japan at 3:30 p.m. on the 30th, the president of the articles of association at 7 p.m. on October 2, and the IBK Industrial Bank at 7 p.m. on October 4.
In the meantime, the tickets for Thursday’s game were sold out just one day after the opening of the ticket reservation window, and the games for Oct. 2 and 4 were sold out in one minute. Fans who failed to get tickets are eagerly waiting for cancellation tickets to come out, but there is no sign that they will do so.
Tongyeong City is quite far from being able to experience volleyball fans in the metropolitan area. Since it is not a large city with a large population, it is inevitably difficult to attract spectators. This is also the reason why both men and women have not been sold out in weekend and holiday games yet. Even though Heungkuk Life is the only weekday game, the entire game is being sold out at high speed regardless of day and night.
Tongyeong City Is Too Far? Kim Yeon-kyung Gyeonggi ‘All Sold Out’ Fever
Meanwhile, each of the eight women’s teams participating in the KOVO Cup has quite a few factors that will attract fans’ attention. The fact that the main members, including foreign players, will participate this time is also raising expectations.
In particular, the women’s team is unpredictable in all seven teams except Hyundai Engineering & Construction. Until now, most teams have been checking their power through practice matches, but the results of practice matches and actual competitions are different.
Hyundai E&C maintained its winning team members last season. The team is a strong contender for the title again this season. Current players are the largest in the Korean national team, and foreign player Moma 31 has also demonstrated her strength in big games. The biggest strength of the team is that the seven positions are the most balanced compared to other teams.
Except for Kim Yeon-kyung and Kim Soo-ji, Heungkuk Life Insurance has all changed its main players. Heungkuk Life Insurance won the set score 3-1 against the JT Marbles, the top-ranked Japanese league team, at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 14th.
The main points to watch are the setter, which was the biggest weakness last season, how much Libero’s position has been reinforced, and who will take the main role for Kim Yeon-kyung’s diagonal outside heater.
The Korea Expressway Corporation is expected to recruit Kang So-hwi, the main striker of the national team. It is also noteworthy to what extent the power of the Nikolova-Unieska Batista-Kang So-hwi attack triangle formation has risen. The result depends on whether or not they will enter the race as a favorite.
Attention to the Triangle of Roadworks… Will Bukirich-Mega be able to ‘coexist’
Jeong said, The most interesting part is whether Bukrich 198 cm tall and Mega 185 cm tall can coexist in the court. Because the positions of the two players are the same as apogits. To coexist, one player must play in the outside heater position. If so, the key is whether the rival team can withstand the opponent team’s intensive serve bomb in the receiving part. This is an adventure. Depending on the situation, one of the players can be excluded from the starting lineup.
There is one more point that is noteworthy. Mega joins the team training quite late. Mega is the only foreign male and female player who has rarely done team training this season.
Mega played the Indonesian professional league immediately after the V-League ended last season. The period was from April 25 to July 20. In August, he participated in the SEA V-League, a Southeast Asian competition. And from the 18th to the 19th, he participated in the Indonesian version of the National Sports Festival. Therefore, Mega mostly stayed in his country even during the period when the competition was not held.
With only a month left before the opening of the V-League, he had not joined the team’s training for a long time to participate in the national sports competition of his own country rather than an international competition. This is an unprecedented case in the V-League, which is bound to cause controversy.
Volleyball experts and fans criticize professional teams, saying, They give the impression that they are being dragged too much by Asian quarter players. Some fans of Chung’s team are also calling for a replacement of Mega. With this and that, Mega’s performance and moves this season are likely to be a hot issue.
Changed IBK and GS… Pepper’s ambition is more than last place.
IBK Industrial Bank of Korea is the most aggressive team in recruiting and trading free agents this season. Now, the benefits and losses will be revealed.
IBK Industrial Bank of Korea acquired big fish Lee So-young and Lee Ju-ah from the free agent market in April this year. He instantly became the favorite to win the title. However, he sent Pyo Seung-joo, the main outside heater, to the articles of association in the FA compensation phase that has been unfolding since then. In addition, the bank has made a strong move to send Shin Yeon-kyung, the main libero, to Heungkuk Life Insurance through trade. The move is interpreted as a reflection of the club and its coach’s willingness to take the initiative in reorganizing the team. In the meantime, IBK’s track record has become unpredictable.
GS Caltex saw player changes the most. Key strikers Kang So-hwi, main Libero Han Da-hye, main middle blocker Jung Dae-young and Han Su-ji left the team due to transfer or retirement from the FA. As a result, the team was forced to rebuild. The team also recruited new coach Lee Young-taek. It is the most difficult team until it opened the lid.
The key to Pepper Savings Bank is whether it can escape from last place this time. It has newly appointed manager Jang Ji-yeon and recruited Libero Han Da-hye, the mainstay of the national team. Foreign players were also selected as No. 1 players in both the tryout and the Asian quarter. Looking at the composition of its members, one should expect to be in the middle or higher, but one cannot make a hasty decision due to the long-term losing streak of last season.
Japan’s Invitational Team ‘Strengthens Power’… Fans Interested
The women’s team of the KOVO Cup is an overseas invitation team and the Aranmare team of Japan’s first division will participate. However, Aranmare has also recently made a big change that has made it difficult to predict the team’s power.
They recruited two foreign players on the 1st. They are Vikenko 29, 192cm, a former outside heater of the Ukrainian national team, and Don Phon 20, 175cm, a current outside heater of the Thai national team. 토토사이트 모음
Aranmare ranked the lowest 12th with all 22 losses in the regular league of the Japanese league last season, and also weakened in the VTV Cup in Vietnam in August because he has not recruited foreign players and played only with Japanese players. In addition, most of the players are short players between 166 centimeters and 175 centimeters.
Naturally, there were many weaknesses in attack and blocking. If the weaknesses are strengthened to some extent by the recruitment of foreign players, domestic teams may struggle. However, an interesting point to watch has been added for fans.
