Reporter Yoo Jin-hyung] On the 22nd, the second round of the women’s “Dodram 2023-2024 V-League” was held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, and the game between GS Caltex and the Korea Expressway Corporation was held.
GS Caltex coach Cha Sang-hyun and Korea Expressway Corporation coach Kim Jong-min are long-time friends who have played volleyball together since middle school, and they are famous best friends in the volleyball league. Like the “best Derby,” it was a close game until the full set, and GS Caltex struggled to win with a set score of 3-2 (25-19 25-23 23-25 23-25 15-10).
The game was fierce, but there were various things to see before the game. GS Caltex has Jung Dae-young, who played for the Korea Expressway Corporation until last season. Jeong Dae-young is the oldest female volleyball player to debut on the adult volleyball stage when she joined the business team Hyundai Engineering & Construction in 1999. However, he helped Korea Expressway Corporation win last season with his rusty skills even at the age of 42. And ahead of this season, he moved to GS Caltex for 300 million won in one-year remuneration (250 million won per year, 50 million won option) as a free agent.
Before the game, she came to the court early and began training. At that time, I met director Kim Jong-min after the interview. Director Kim Jong-min smiled at Jung Dae-young, and Jung Dae-young greeted Kim Jong-min with a fist. Jung Dae-young and Kim Jong-min are seven years apart and trust each other and support each other during the Korea Expressway Corporation. Because they have faith in each other, the player was able to greet the coach with his fist.
In the past, head coach Kim Jong-min expressed infinite trust, saying, “Jung Jung-young is a player who knows how to play even if he doesn’t say much.” And he is still greedy and has a strong will to win. That’s why it could still be on the court. There are a lot of things to learn, such as taking care of your body. He is a strong role model for young players,” he said generously.
Jung Dae-young was always grateful, saying, “Coach Kim Jong-min is very considerate so that he can take care of his body.” 바카라사이트
As such, the two trust each other and appreciate each other even if they do not say anything in particular. Now, although they are in different teams, volleyball between Kim Jong-min, the longest-serving coach in the women’s team, and Jeong Dae-young, the oldest player, is still hot.
