The Korean women’s volleyball team is sweating ahead of the Asian Championships, the 2024 Paris Olympics qualifiers, and the Hangzhou Asian Games. For better performance than the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) Volleyball Nations League (VNL), we are training with a focus on play in counterattack situations. Middle blockers have a lot of responsibility.
On the 17th, the national team had an open training media day at the Jincheon National Training Center. About three weeks were given ahead of the Asian Championships, which will be held from August 30th. 3 weeks is important. The Olympic qualifiers are scheduled to be held in Lodz, Poland, 10 days after the Asian Championships on September 6. From September 28th to October 7th, the Hangzhou Asian Games will be sorted out.
The national team, which was reconvened after the VNL curtain fell in early July, set goals for each week for three weeks and began to harden again.
In this process, what coach Cesar emphasized to the players is ‘counterattack’.
Middle blocker Lee Da-hyun (Hyundai E&C) also said, “There were many situations where the goal was not connected after blocking and defense. He has been doing a lot of counterattack situation training. Even when his receive is good, he focuses on linking up to the attack while using the middle blocker,” he explained.
Following VNL, four people called the next-generation middle blockers wore the Taegeuk mark ahead of this tournament. Along with Lee Da-hyun, Park Eun-jin, Jung Ho-young (above KGC Ginseng Corporation), and Joo-ah Lee (Heungkuk Life Insurance) are competing in good faith and creating synergy.
In response, Lee Da-hyun said, “At first, after the older sisters retired, I was lost. Got used to it now. The four middle blockers give and receive feedback from each other,” he said. “The coach conceives and orders plays so that the middle blocker can also participate in the attack because the efficiency is low in counterattack situations. I am concerned about that part,” he said vigorously.
In the 3rd week of VNL, which was held in the living room, Cesarho had fun with a back attack using a middle blocker. The breathing of Kim Da-eun (Heungkuk Life Insurance) and setter Kim Da-in (Hyundai E&C), who started as an apogee, was also stable. As much as that, the movement of the middle blocker has no choice but to have an impact in a counterattack situation.메이저사이트
Unlike the VNL, the Asian Championships meet relatively weak teams. Lee Da-hyun said, “VNL is a tournament where the world’s strongest teams come out. There were many losing matches. There is no guarantee of winning the Asian Championship, but the possibility is more open than the VNL. we have to play I think it’s better in terms of breathing than VNL. I think I have to face it with confidence.” This is Cesarho, who recorded all 12 losses in the VNL qualifiers. Victory is desperate. The will of the players is strong. In a situation where the best members are organized to some extent through VNL, attention is paid to what results will be brought at the Asian Championships.

Dain Kim and Lee Dahyun, who belong to the same team, are also the mood makers in the team. Kang So-hui said, “During the VNL, the atmosphere was down and I had no confidence because I lost all the matches. There are new competitions left, so I’m trying to raise the tension and liven it up.” The voice is loud. The unnies are also fighting together and having fun with each other,” conveying the team atmosphere.
