Cha Sang-hyun, head coach of GS Caltex to the finals, said, "The driving force behind the serve-receive victory."

Kang Sung-hyung, head coach of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, said, "Sub-receive, center fight has been pushed back."

Head coach Cha Sang-hyun, who led GS Caltex to the final of the cup tournament, cited sub-receive as the driving force for the victory.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction manager Kang Sung-hyung regretted that the unstable serve receive was the cause of the defeat.

GS Caltex came from behind to win 3-1 (23-25 25-23 25-17 25-20) in the semifinals of the "2023 Gumi-Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament" against Hyundai Engineering & Construction at Park Chung-hee Gymnasium in Gumi on the 4th.

GS Caltex, which finished second in Group B with two wins and one loss in the group stage, defeated Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which won all three matches in Group A.

GS Caltex will try to win the Cup for the second consecutive year.

GS Caltex, which came first in the final, will play the final match on the 5th with the winner of the semifinals between IBK Industrial Bank of Korea and KGC Ginseng Corporation.

Kang So-hwi scored 23 points to become the top contributor to the victory, while Yoo Seo-yeon (14 points), Moon Ji-yoon (14 points), and Kwon Min-ji (11 points) also contributed to the victory.

Coach Cha Sang-hyun laughed, saying, "After taking charge of GS Caltex, I played the final of the 6th Cup tournament, and I won three times.

Coach Cha then said, "I was pushed back in the first set, but I thought the overall flow and condition were not bad," adding, "I thought both sides would shake the serve receive." I thought I was going to find the flow after the second set. "The sub-receive continued to be good," he said.

Coach Cha said, "I thought a lot about when and at what moment I should put Moon Ji-yoon in." Moon Jiyoon did a good job. Yoo Seo-yeon plays volleyball smartly. "He is a player who can show his skills at any time."

Coach Cha will watch the semifinals between KGC Ginseng Corporation and IBK Industrial Bank at 7 p.m. that day.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which was considered a favorite to win, failed to advance to the finals due to a shocking reversal.

Head coach Kang Sung-hyung said, "I thought our team and GS Caltex's offense and receiving line levels were similar. However, the receiving line collapsed, and the center did not score. "There was no advantage that we could do well," he analyzed the cause of the defeat. 토토

Coach Kang said, "I felt that serving receiving was important. "We need to make up for the shortcomings more," he stressed.
