"As the game is overheating...."

Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 17th, when Heungkuk Life Pink Spiders and Jeonggwanjang Red Sparks faced off. Heungkuk Life tried to win 15 consecutive games, the most winning streak in a season.

The first set was taken by Jeong Kwan-jang, and the second set. In Heungkuk Life Insurance, Lee Go-eun's ball slightly crossed the net at 14-16, and after the video reading, the offense was declared after the opening.




Heungkuk Life coach Marcello Avonza protested fiercely, but the results did not change.

The scene of controversy came later. Jeong Kwan-jang called the operation time at 19-17. Coach Ko Hee-jin of Chung Kwan-jang suddenly approached Heungkuk Life's coach Daniele Turino while the referee was talking. Coach Daniele stared at Coach Ko and said something, and Coach Ko looked puzzled.

It is unusual for a coach to approach the opponent team's coach and appeal to the coach himself. As Daniele's facial expression was caught on the air, there was a controversy over the coach's mockery. Commentator Cha Sang-hyun, who was in charge of the commentary on the day, pointed out that "You shouldn't do that kind of thing"Volleyball is a gentleman's exercise after splitting the net."

After the game, coach Ko's expression hardened when the story of the situation came out at the time. Director Ko said "I'm embarrassed, but I don't want to talk about it. I think the federation or the Heungkuk Life Insurance club will take care of it.' Then "That should not happen. The game should be played by the players, not by the coaching staff. Coaches must ensure that players play well and shine. That's the coach's wish."

After the game, Heungkuk Life Insurance also started to determine the authenticity. Heungkuk Life Insurance said "It was not intended to mock." He said that the mocking story was unfair. Heungkuk Life Insurance said "The atmosphere was overheated, including Lee Go-eun's foul on the attacker after the opening." In this process, inappropriate behavior came out. I also pointed this out to the coach, and he said this would not happen next time. He also said, "I will express my apology to the club of Jeong Kwan-jang and head coach Ko Hee-jin."

Meanwhile, Jeong Kwan-jang won the match 3-1 with a set score. Heungkuk Life's opening streak stopped at 14 straight wins.




"I don't understand that our setter jumped and faulted Lee Go-eun when the ball was in our court," manager Avon Dan-ja said of Lee Go-eun's post-open attacker foul situation. The striker said it was not a ball to hit, but he blew the whistle when the setter would have run. "I can't see the future, but I don't know if it's a connection to the striker or an attack against the opponent, but we didn't show good volleyball." The players were not in good condition either. It's the first defeat that will happen someday. It's important to start well again."
