Korean Air coach Henan Dal Zoto, who suffered a helpless shutdown defeat by second-ranked Hyundai Capital in the first and second-place showdowns, said, "I made a plan to maximize my offense as much as possible," adding, "All the responsibility lies with me."

Coach Henan said at a press conference shortly after the 0-3 (17-25, 14-25, 18-25) defeat of Hyundai Capital in the men's home game of Jin Air 2025-2026 professional volleyball V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 4th.

Korean Air, which left after Jung Ji-seok and Lim Jae-young due to injuries, has Russell as an outside heater and Lim Dong-hyuk as an apogee spiker. It was an anomalous strategy to overcome the injury gap by maximizing attack power.

However, Korean Air's choice did not work as a result. Russell, who was burdened with receiving, was intensively attacked by Hyundai Capital, and the overall team's attack became dull as receiving faltered. In the end, Korean Air fell to its knees helplessly, giving up the second set by 11 points.

Coach Henan said, "I only had two days to work together. However, I was aware that I had to take risks when I played with Hyundai Capital, he said. "I believed it would work, but unfortunately, I didn't succeed. In any case, I am responsible for everything," he said.

Coach Henan then said, "The receiving was shaken a lot by the opponent's serve. He also said, "I wasn't attacked, and I was shaken a lot by the opponent's attack," adding, "Anyway, today's game didn't fit everything because I tried a new one. The full responsibility lies with me. I tried to do it, but it didn't work," he said.

In the absence of Jung Ji-seok and Lim Jae-young, Korean Air, which suffered its first consecutive loss following the upset loss against the lowest-ranked Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance on the 1st, will remain at 41 points (14 wins and 5 losses), allowing a three-point chase over second-place Hyundai Capital (38 points, 12 wins and 7 losses).

Coach Henan said, "So far, we have to take the lead and keep the lead. Of course, it is true that it is not an easy situation. Instead, in this situation, we should show our strong team. From now on, every game is the final, he said, adding, "When we go back to regular classical music, we will think deeply about who will be the right puzzle."
