Volleyball Empress focuses on today, not tomorrow.
Kim Yeon-kyung, 35, who leads her Heungkuk Life Insurance, is rumored to be retiring recently. She also said that Kim Yeon-kyung also said, “It would be a lie if she said she had no thoughts of retirement. She used to think she might as well come down when she was in the highest position. She is still talking to the club,” she said.
From the perspective of volleyball fans, I hate to even imagine letting go of Korean and international volleyball star Kim Yeon-kyung. The Heungkuk Life Insurance game, which Kim Yeon-kyung belongs to, is always crowded with cloud spectators, and the team has also overcome internal fires and surpassed Hyundai E&C to take the lead. At the center was Kim Yeon-kyung.
Kim Yeon-kyung appeared in 29 games and scored 569 points, an attack success rate of 46.3%, a receiving efficiency of 47.51%, and 3.8 digs per set. She ranks 1st in attack percentage, 5th in scoring, 7th in receiving, 10th in dig, and 11th each in defense and serve. Most of the airborne indicators have the name Kim Yeon-kyung on them.
If you show good results in every round, awards follow. Following the 1st and 3rd round MVPs, the recently announced 5th round MVP also belonged to Kim Yeon-kyung. He received 25 of the 31 votes cast by the reporters. KGC Ginseng Corporation Elisabeth Ine Barga (registered name Elisabeth), who received 6 votes, was beaten by a large margin. He demonstrated his strength by winning three round MVP awards this season alone.
From 2013 to 2017, coach Marcello Abondanza, who has won two league championships, one European Volleyball Federation (CEV) Champions League championship, and one CEV Cup championship with Fenerbahce in the Turkiye League, has come as the new manager of Heungkuk Life Insurance. .
In his debut match on the 23rd, director Abondanza said, “I don’t believe in rumors of Kim Yeon-kyung’s retirement. Needless to say, Kim Yeon-kyung is still the best in the world. He’s adjusting just as well here as he did back then. He showed good performance, leadership, and human relations at Fenerbahce. He sees that he is playing the same role here,” he said.
Kim Yeon-kyung, a volleyball empress who does not want to let the masters go, focuses only on today, not tomorrow.
Recently, Kim Yeon-kyung said, “There are a lot of retirement stories coming out, but I hope it doesn’t come out anymore. Since the director is new, she is focusing on the part that ends the season well. He said right now he just wants to focus on finishing the season well.”
Kim Yeon-kyung is thirsty for victory. It’s been well over 10 years since he experienced a championship in the V-League. In the 2020-21 season, when he finished his overseas life and returned, he had a bitter memory of being blocked by GS Caltex and finishing runner-up in all the regular league, championship match, and cup competitions. 스포츠토토
Kim Yeon-kyung said, “Right now, the first place is not confirmed. You have to keep playing, grabbing and going where you can win. Coincidentally, the last game of the regular league was Hyundai E&C. Wouldn’t it be nice if it was confirmed before that,” he hoped.
He said, “Off the court, the front desk staff are helping me well. When I’m inside, I feel like I have to take on a lot of roles because there aren’t many players on the team who can speak English. I have to help the players understand the advanced volleyball system so that the players can quickly adapt to the parts they do not understand when the coach makes mid-planning.”
Starting with the match against GS Caltex at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 26th, the schedule for the 6th round begins.
While many stories are circulating around Kim Yeon-kyung, the volleyball queen focuses only on today, not tomorrow.
