“It’s embarrassing.”
GS Caltex, led by head coach Cha Sang-hyun, failed to extend its winning streak as it fell 1-3 (25-23, 19-25, 11-25, 14-25) to Hyundai E&C in the fifth round of the Dodram 2023-24 V-League Women’s Division at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on Monday.
They took the first set behind the firepower of Giselle Silva (registered name Silva), who had 13 points and a 54.55% attack percentage, but dropped sets 2-3 and 4 in straight sets. 메이저 토토사이트 GS Caltex remains in third place with 45 points (16 wins, 11 losses), but has a disappointing record of 1 win, 2 losses, and 2 points after five rounds.
Silva led both teams with 28 points, but Kang So-hwi had 10 points and Yoo Seo-yeon had seven, and they were outmatched in every statistical category, including serving 2-9, blocking 1-14, and errors 21-17.
After the match, coach Cha Sang-hyun said, “When one or two players make errors, we need someone to organize in the middle. But we’re not organized. The anxiety is growing. Everything is shaky. It’s embarrassing. I don’t come to cheer for this kind of game.” “I have to think about it and the players have to reflect. I can understand that the reception is shaky, but the connection is not good. Overall, our rhythm is not good.”
Kwon Min-ji, who switched from outside hitter to middle blocker in the middle of the season, was put back in the outside hitter position.
“We tried to change the atmosphere because she was so shaky, but it didn’t work,” Cha said.
“When things start to go wrong, we have to pull it together as a team, and it’s hard because one part is clogged up, and (Kim) Ji-Won has to get it up to the attackers even if she’s not receiving, and it’s tough. I’m glad Ahn Hye-jin is ready to come back. We have to be ready to play, even if it means conceding goals. The players have lost too much confidence. I feel sorry for them,” he said.
GS Caltex will next play against Korea Expressway Corporation on April 14 at the Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium.
