At the moment, a dark shadow fell on the head coach's face. 'Injured ward'An Hye-jin collapsed again.
The second set of road construction matches in the sixth round of the Dodram V League held at Gimcheon Gymnasium on the 12th. Excluding the game on this day, there are only two games left until the end of the season.
At the end of the second set, when GS Caltex was trailing, Ahn Hye-jin threw herself on the court during the rally. He lay down with his right knee wrapped around him, which he had previously undergone surgery.
I stopped when I saw Silva flying from the other side while moving to dig a ball that bounced off the block. After that, he covered himself up again and kicked the ball up with his third touch.
Was it unreasonable in the process of repeatedly moving the center. I was down for a while and couldn't move, so I worried everyone. Fortunately, he stepped back to the bench and walked out on his legs after being treated by staff, and joined the warm-up zone in the third set. However, coach Lee Young-taek did not allow him to play anymore on the day.

Ahn Hye-jin has not played much in the last two seasons. As shoulder and knee injuries continued, he had to undergo repeated surgeries and rehabilitation.
Coach Lee Young-taek, who met before the game, said of Ahn Hye-jin, `We have to do well now for the next season as well. I haven't played for a long time, but fortunately, my performance in the second half is good. I'm looking forward to next season if I finish this season well and take care of my body well in the off-season. There will also be a synergy effect in which two national setters compete."
As it was such a big operation, the aftereffects remain. Still, it's a manageable level of pain, and the player is getting used to it. The day after the game, it doesn't affect the training," he stressed.

The advantages are fast feet that dig under the ball and strong toss from a tall height of 1m76. The head coach's expectations are high because his performance is so good when he participates. On the contrary, if a double setter system is established with Kim Ji-won, who has strength in open toss, it can be of great help to GS Caltex's performance in the next season.
The problem is injury. Coach Lee Young-taek has continued to be concerned about his injury while carefully using him to boost his sense of play. At the beginning of this season, he was mainly used as a one-point server after a difficult return. In the second half of the year, his role as a setter grew, including starting, but he still had knee pain, leading to his participation. As a result, the FA, which was scheduled after the end of this season due to the lack of the number of games played, has also been delayed by a year.

Coach Lee Young-taek, who met after the game, said "He wears a strong taping on the injured area (knee), but it became loose due to sweat. It is said that there was a lot of pain due to the bent leg momentarily", he explained. "I said it was okay to fix the taping, but I didn't force myself to do it.' It was a moment of `10 million relief' that swept away the chest.
