"It was hard to wait"

Hyundai Capital will play the first game of the men's 2024-2025 V-League championship match against the Korean Air Jumbos at Cheonan Yoo Gwan-soon Gymnasium on the 1st.

Hyundai Capital has had an overwhelming season this season. With 30 wins and 6 losses and 88 points, it ranked first in the regular league, 19 points ahead of second-place KB Insurance (24 wins and 12 losses and 69 points).




By winning a direct ticket to the championship game, he is aiming to win the integrated championship for the first time in seven years.

Korean Air finished the season in third place, but beat KB Insurance by 2-1 in the playoffs and succeeded in advancing to the championship game for the eighth consecutive year.

Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc said, `It was hard to wait until the championship game. I wanted to play the game quickly"I wanted to go to Game 3." I didn't watch the game as a viewer, but I watched the points that each team should pay attention to. I didn't know who would come up, so I did an analysis. As Korean Air beat KB Insurance, it is likely to be a rematch of the cup competition" he said. Hyundai Capital defeated Korean Air in the final of the cup competition after a close game in a full set.




Korean Air recruited Kyle Russell as a new foreign player at the end of the sixth round. Hyundai Capital did not have many opportunities to analyze. Coach Blanc said "I personally saw him intermittently while playing for the national team. New players can give new energy, so it's going to be an asset for Korean Air"There will be a strong attack, so I think we should block and defend as we please."

Korean Air chose Yoo Kwang-woo among Yoo Kwang-woo and Yoo Kwang-woo, who operated the setter in the playoffs. Director Blanc said, `I don't think Yoo will dramatically change the style he brought during the regular season in the championship. However, more than that, Korean Air seems to be playing volleyball, so I think we need to deal with it quickly" he said.

As for setter Hwang Seung-bin "Since joining Hyundai Capital, he has been thinking a lot about how to give a toss to be good with the striker. However, as a leader, I just give the players the information they need, but from now on, it's time for the players to do it. "Hwang Seung-bin is a passionate and team-playing player. I think I'll be able to show you a good side of me todayexpected "




As for Moon Sung-min, who announced his retirement, "Moon Sung-min is an experienced player who can do well in the championship game. However, I don't think I'll go into the roster because my physical condition can't play. He is cheering and talking while being close to the player. It doesn't come on the court, but I think it's another player on the roster."
