"I hope you show us what you've done so far."
New head coach Henan Dal Zoto and Korean Air, which newly prepared for the championship, won the first match of the KOVO Cup. After many twists and turns, the team won a set score of 3-0 in Group B against Woori Card in the 2025 Yeosu-NH Nonghyup Cup professional volleyball tournament held at Jinnam Gymnasium in Yeosu on the 14th.
As foreign players, Asian quarters, and players included in the World Championship entry are not available, veteran setter Han, who leads the juniors, said "The players who are playing now have not been able to play in the match. It may be my greed, but I hope that this tournament will give them confidence that they can grow into players who can play in the real season rather than just talk about it."
A game that can be hard for even one player. This is because they were not players who worked together often. Still, Kim Joon-ho and Lim Jae-young scored 12 points and Seo Hyun-il scored 10 points, respectively, showing good performance.
Henan is passionate about training. So he said the players are having a hard time but are happily accepting it.
A player trained steadily until the competition, but until he was out of breath, there was no time to drink waterHe said "Our players' bodies got better because they did a lot of weight training."

The reason why there is a lot of training is because of the long and tight season of the V-League. "When the coach first came, the Korean season was the longest," said Han. He said that everyone had to be that fit to endure, so the training was high until the competition."
For Henan's aggressive volleyball, Han said, `He makes you responsible for your own play. Instead of deciding, you choose what you can hit and do it yourself. "Don't hesitate, be confident, and the mistake comes out. Don't think about mistakes and do what you're good at."
Then "He keeps pushing me. You know you're tired and you know it's hard, but you keep pushing. One player who said, `They make us play when it's so hard.'"The coach is full of energy. So even though the players are tired, they are excited and do it until the end. "It's hard, but I'm happy and motivated..." he said with a bright expression.
Han also expressed his expectations for this season. "I'm much better than last year, too. I also do a lot of weight training. I think I'll be fine as long as I don't get hurt," he said in a confident tone.
