The voice of Heungkuk Life Insurance coach Marcello Avondan, a European master, made the interview room hot. On this day, he did not seem to have avoided talking about the decision after going to Korea.
Heungkuk Life Insurance won the Dodram V-League Pepper Savings Bank match at Pepper Stadium in Gwangju on the 7th with a set score of 3-1.
After losing the first set, the team trailed 14-22 in the second set. However, the team achieved a miraculous come-from-behind victory. Once overcome the crisis, Kim Yeon-koung's power returned to life, and she clambered to victory.
Coach Avondanja, whom he met after the game, was full of complaints about his disappointing performance. He had been shouting at the players throughout the game to set the mood.
"I didn't do a good job from the start. Honestly, serving, receiving, toss, dig, blocking, everything was a bad match. Still, it was a miracle to turn the tables in the second set. The opponent team didn't make many mistakes and held out well. Still, our players found the flow well."
Elena, who is supposed to be the main striker, scored 21 points, but her attack success rate was only 28.3 percent. Instead, Kim, who was tired in the first and second sets, upped her concentration from the third set. Ultimately, she saved her team by scoring 27 points (58.1 percent). Raina also scored 15 points to support Kim.
On Yelena's lackluster performance, Avondanja said, "It is honestly true. We need to use (setters) more middle blockers. To do that, we need to have good reception," before sighing, "Raina displayed quality performance as an outside hitter." On the day, Raina became a player who is interviewed by broadcasters and reporters.
"I paid attention to her passion from the time she was drafted. I even looked up how she was playing in Finland. I'm so happy that she won the Fang Fang award. She has great potential and she is a really hardworking player, and I think I need to be more gentle in the future."
Raina's main position is Apogit. When asked if she wants to order more aggressive rolls while leaving Apogit behind, Avondanja said with a smile, "My feet get cold when I pull the blanket up to my neck. My throat gets cold when I cover my feet. I'll decide when that happens."
On the setter issue, which has been holding back throughout the season, he replied with a deep sigh. "The start was not good, and Kim Da-sol made a wrong choice and distribution before discussing the quality of the toss. Even if the game is wrong, the choice itself should be made accurately. It was a problem in the first or second set," he pointed out harshly.
In the beginning of the second set, Avondanja was seen complaining to the referee in excitement. When Heungkuk Life Insurance's Lee Won-jeong's overnet was declared, he requested a video review to correct it, which was followed by Pepper Savings Bank coach Joe Trinzi's net touch that followed the video review video. The referee accepted the request.
From the time he started reading the video again, Avondanja made an intense protest, shouting his face red, but it was not accepted.
When asked about the judgment, which was usually disappointing during the game, Avondanja tends to avoid answering, saying, "If I learned anything while coaching, talking about the judgment doesn't help me."
However, the situation was different on the day. Despite being discouraged by the team's officials, Avondanja repeatedly voiced his disappointment, saying, "This is the first time I've seen this scene in my 27 years as a coach."
"The moment the over-net was declared, the rally was over. Didn't you even correct the over-net earlier? How can you declare a mistake for what happened after the rally? I don't think something so natural should affect the game."
