The bad news is endless. However, the good news comes after hard work. KB Insurance for men in the V-League is aiming to turn the tables at its temporary home stadium.
KB Insurance will play at 2 p.m. on the 22nd at Kyungmin University Gymnasium in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do against KEPCO in the third round of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League.
This is the first game that KB Insurance will play after confirming Kyungmin University Gymnasium as its temporary home stadium for this season. KB Insurance was suddenly informed last month that it would not be able to use Uijeongbu Stadium, its home stadium for this season. This is because resolving safety issues at the roof of the stadium, which erupted after heavy snow, is more urgent than scheduled V-League games.
KB Insurance, which lost its "room" in a hurry, searched for a gym that can be used in Uijeongbu, while also looking for stadiums across the country that can be used in nearby cities such as Guri and Pocheon, as well as Gumi and Gimcheon. Fortunately, KB Insurance faced another problem as it was able to play the rest of its home games at Kyungmin University Gymnasium, which is not far from its existing location.
Brazilian coach Isanaye Ramirez has been appointed as the replacement for Spanish coach Miguel Rivera, who failed to join the team for the opening of the new season despite ambitious recruitment. However, things have not turned out as KB Insurance had planned. The stumbling block was that Ramirez is currently the coach of the men's volleyball team.
All V-League clubs agreed not to recruit current national team coaches through a board meeting in 2019. KB Insurance allowed its full-time coach to join the V-League, but other V-League clubs blocked the appointment of a new coach, citing previous resolutions. In the end, KB Insurance's attempt to recruit a new coach by investing more than a month was canceled, and the team had to do the same again.
KB Insurance, however, is pinning its hopes on stellar performance that is gradually reviving. KB Insurance finished the first round with one win and five losses. However, it rebounded with three wins and three losses in the second round. As of now, with three matches in the third round, the team has three wins and one loss, which is in good spirits. Above all, Korean setter Hwang Taek-ui has returned to the military after being discharged from the military, and both Villena and Na Kyung-bok have gained momentum. Veteran middle blockers Park Sang-ha and Cha Young-seok are also leading younger players well both inside and outside the court. Against this backdrop, they will have their first match in a new "room."
KB Insurance will try to win its second consecutive game of the season by bringing three points from the away game in Daejeon on the 19th. KB Insurance, which became fifth in the men's division with its victory in the last game, can join Woori Card and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance in the third-place fight if it wins this game. Currently, the competition for the men's ranking in the 메이저사이트 V-League is under way with five teams trying to rank third and fourth for "Spring Volleyball" while Hyundai Capital and copyright are certain to have a "two-tier" system.
