What kind of power will Montaño exert?

On the 10th, Pepper Savings Bank and Hyundai E&C meet in the 5th round of the women’s division of the ‘2022-23 season Dodram V-League’ held at Pepper Stadium in Gwangju.

Pepper Savings Bank, which has yet to reach the 10-point mark by the end of the season, is desperate for three wins. Currently, with 7 points, 2 wins and 24 losses, they are unable to escape the cold season. Hyundai E&C has 60 points with Heungkuk Life Insurance, but it is one by one ahead in the number of wins and losses and is barely maintaining the 1st place in the pull-up. Hyundai E&C has 21 wins and 5 losses, and Heungkuk Life Insurance has 20 wins and 6 losses.

Hyundai E&C was greatly ahead of the two teams with 4 wins in 4 matches of the season. 

Pepper Savings Bank lost by shutout in the previous game, the last 5 days, against GS Caltex, where Oh Ji-young could not play again due to the trade clause. 

Nia Reed scored the most points, 15, but her attack success rate was only 31.11%. Lee Han-bi also scored 8 points and Choi Ga-eun only 6 points. The team’s blocking score was seriously pushed back to 4-10, and there was nothing better than the opposing team in all indicators, including errors in sub scoring, total points, dig, set, and receive. The receive efficiency was 33.33%. 

In a situation where the available players are thin, Lee Han-bi’s stamina is gradually dropping, and Park Eun-seo and Park Kyung-hyun’s receiving was shaking, and they could not even create a close match and stopped at around 15 points. Choi Ga-eun also did not show his own strengths clearly on this day. 

Above all, Nia Reid’s problem-solving skills are back on track. When Lee Go-eun’s toss shakes, Nia shakes as well. Oh Ji-young’s defensive ability was clearly demonstrated, but she couldn’t use it against GS Caltex. Since he has stored up his stamina, he plans to support him hard in the battle against Hyundai E&C. 

Acting head coach Lee Kyung-soo is deeply concerned about the team’s performance, which can be shaken twice if it does well once. For now, the top priority is to go through the entire season without additional injured players.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction was also greatly shaken by a complete shutout loss for the first time in the season at Heungkuk Life Insurance on the 7th, the previous game. This season, Yasmin has missed and lost a little more, but this is the first time he has been beaten so badly by a rival. 

Hwang Yeon-joo was pushed back from the offensive firepower, showing that he could not overcome Kim Yeon-kyung’s runaway, who wanted to win somehow. At that time, Yang Hyo-jin only scored 14 points (attack success rate 50%), Jeong Ji-yoon 10 points, and Hwang Yeon-joo 7 points.

The biggest shaking was from the 3rd set after the 2nd set. Libero Kim Yeon-gyeon, who was in charge of Hyundai E&C’s heavy defense, sprained his right ankle and needs an ankle immobilization for more than two weeks. It is a mountain beyond a mountain. An official from the club said, “I have to watch the injured part for at least two weeks, and I don’t know what will happen in the 6th round.” 

The club had an opportunity to try out a new goalkeeper. On the 6th, Hyundai E&C recruited Yvone Montaño (registered name Montaño), who had been active in the second division of Turkey, as a substitute for Yasmin. It is still unclear how well the team will work together. It is difficult to fit better than Yasmin, who came in the second half of the season and has been playing consistently, but it is encouraging just that an attacker has arrived to ease the burden of Hwang Yeon-joo, who is getting tired.

Hyundai E&C head coach Kang Seong-hyung commented on Montaño as “a player with good technique.” Montaño accompanied the team before Heungkuk Life Insurance on the 7th and watched his teammates play. 메이저놀이터

Yang Hyo-jin, Lee Da-hyeon, Hwang Min-kyung, and Ko Ye-rim’s performances do not seem to change much, and Lee Young-joo and Kim Ju-ha, who will be put in alternately, are expected to fill the gap in the defense. 

How will the fifth confrontation between Pepper Savings Bank, which was persistent despite losing against Hyundai E&C and Heungkuk Life Insurance, and Hyundai E&C, which is struggling with major power in-and-out, flow?

The match between the two teams will be played at 7 p.m.
