‘Volleyball Empress’ wanted to strengthen her power Heungkuk and Kim Yeon-kyung are lonely after missing all the big fish
The wish of ‘Volleyball Empress’ Kim Yeon-kyung (36), who shouted ‘one more year’ after much thought, was earnest. She was in second place for two consecutive seasons, so she needed to strengthen her power to win the championship. 토토사이트 순위
Kim Yeon-kyung’s team, Heungkuk Life Insurance, was at the top of the leaderboard as a ‘champion candidate’ for the past two seasons, but her power was not flawless. The setter was pointed out as a weakness throughout the season, and there was a lack of wing attackers to support Kim Yeon-kyung. In fact, the biggest reason Heungkuk Life Insurance was able to be a ‘strong team’ was thanks to the presence of Kim Yeon-kyung.
However, Kim Yeon-kyung is not a ‘god’ either. Now that he was in his mid-30s, he could not lead the team to victory on his own. In addition to Kim Yeon-kyung, Kim Su-ji and Kim Hae-ran also belong to the veteran team, so the overall player base needed reinforcement.
Kim Yeon-kyung also knew this, so she hoped that the team would actively strengthen its power. He announced his intention to extend his active duty at the 2023–24 V League awards ceremony on the 8th, saying, “I know that the club is working hard. “I think he will definitely strengthen his players.”
However, the ensuing free agent market is not going as Kim Yeon-kyung hoped. Most of the big-fishing players decided on the destination. The market is coming to an end, but Heungkuk Life Insurance is still quiet.
Kang So-hwi, who was considered the ‘biggest fish’, moved to Korea Expressway Corporation, and Lee So-young, another wing striker, found a new home at IBK Industrial Bank of Korea. 슬롯사이트
Contract renewals were decided for Jeong Ji-yoon and Na Hyun-soo (Hyundai Engineering & Construction), Park Hye-min and Park Eun-jin (Cheong Gwan-jang). Heungkuk Life Insurance needed reinforcement of wing strikers, but was unable to sign a single player. Even considering the salary cap and the fierce competition with other teams, it is disappointing. Last year, there was a ‘plus’ factor with the recruitment of veteran middle blocker Kim Su-ji, but this year, there was a power leak. Lee Joo-ah, a national team middle blocker, left Heungkuk Life Insurance after signing a contract with IBK Industrial Bank of Korea. The middle blocker line of Kim Su-ji and Lee Joo-ah showed considerable competitiveness, but with only veteran Kim Su-ji remaining, the center quickly became poor. Even considering that Kim Chae-yeon, who missed the 2023–24 season due to injury, will return, it cannot be denied that the team’s strength has weakened.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which has virtually failed to strengthen its power in the free agent market, is now in a situation where it must make every effort to select foreigners. Heungkuk Life Insurance had difficulties last season when replacing Jelena Mrazenovic mid-season, and Reina Tokoku, who was outside the Asian quarter, was not very satisfied. With the failure to reinforce FA, its importance grew even more. We cannot rule out the possibility of selecting a slugger with scoring ability as a foreign player and turning to strengthening setters in the Asian quarter. As Industrial Bank of Korea’s Ponpun Gedpard showed high-level skills last season, Heungkuk Life Insurance is also in a position to fill the most urgent position. 안전 토토사이트
