Professional volleyball women’s Hyundai E&C, facing the greatest crisis in leading Mercury, is aiming for a rebound with a replacement foreign player Ivone Montaño (28, Colombia) card.
Hyundai E&C will play an away game against Pepper Savings Bank in the Dodram 2022-23 V-League held at Pepper Stadium in Gwangju on the 10th.
Hyundai E&C, which was leading the team with 15 consecutive wins at the start of this season, faced a crisis in December of last year when foreign player Yasmin Bedart (registered name: Yasmin) left due to a back injury.
Hyundai E&C succeeded in maintaining its leading position by enduring well with 7 wins and 5 losses despite playing only domestic players during the absence of Yasmin, but suffered a shocking shutout (0-3) defeat in a home game against Heungkuk Life Insurance on the 7th.
Hyundai E&C, who recorded the 5th loss (21 wins) of the season, equaled 60 points with Heungkuk Life Insurance (20 wins, 6 losses) in second place. Although they managed to keep their lead in the number of wins, they were in danger of allowing a reversal.
On top of this, starting libero Kim Yeon-gyeon left the field after injuring his right foot during the dig at the end of the second set. Kim Yeon-gyeon, who was diagnosed with a partial rupture of the right ankle ligament as a result of the MRI examination, cannot play for at least two weeks.
Hyundai E&C, which even left the main player Libero, plays an away game against the lowest ranked Pepper Savings Bank. It is not expected that it will be difficult to win against the lowest ranked Pepper Savings Bank as it is Hyundai E&C, which showed off its mighty power with only domestic players during the period without Yasmin. 먹튀검증
In particular, at the Pepper Savings Bank Exhibition, Montaño finally makes its debut. He, who was recruited on the 6th, completed registration on the 9th, and is expected to make his V-League debut through the match on this day.
The addition of Montaño, who also won the top scorer for two consecutive years when he was active in the Swiss league in the past, is expected to be a great help to Hyundai E&C’s leading position. What Hyundai E&C expects from Montaño is the role of a solver who can be responsible for scoring in difficult situations.
However, as he joined as a substitute player, it seems that he will need time in terms of breathing with his colleagues. Above all, if Hyundai E&C’s receive line, which lacks Kim Yeon-gyeon, is shaken sharply, Montaño’s offensive power could be dulled.
Hyundai E&C, which will play against teams with busy roads such as Korea Expressway Corporation and KGC Ginseng Corporation, needs to show hopeful performance through the Pepper Savings Bank match with Montaño.
