Yoshihara Tomoko (Japan), the head coach of Heungkuk Life Insurance, evaluated the victory against Pepper Savings Bank, saying, "There are some bad parts of the team, but it was good to overcome it in the middle of the game."
Heungkuk Life defeated Pepper Savings Bank 3-1 (25-22, 22-25, 25-19, 25-22) in the home game of Jin Air 2025-2026 professional volleyball V-League at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 1st.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which won two sets first to GS Caltex three days ago but lost three sets, ended its losing streak with a victory over Pepper Savings Bank.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which accumulated 48 points (15 wins and 11 losses), defeated Hyundai Engineering & Construction (15 wins and 10 losses, 45 points) to rise to second place. The gap with the leading Korea Expressway Corporation (19 wins, 6 losses, 52 points) was narrowed to four points.
Coach Yoshihara, who met with reporters after the game and said, "There were some bad parts overall," said, "We have to look for parts that need to be corrected while reviving the game. We need to prepare details while analyzing the video of the first part that goes in," he said.
He said, "I think it would be better if the players who go out from the start increase their concentration and go in from the beginning, or if they have a bad concentration, it would be better to start from the basics quickly in us."
As for Choi Eun-ji, who played with 12 points on the day, he said, "He is a veteran player in terms of connection and defense," adding, "I have a lot of expectations in defensive connection and communication that connects people."
"There are many reasons for each set," Pepper Savings Bank coach Jang Ji-yeon said of his performance, which had ups and downs in each set. "The flow was cut off due to its own mistakes such as receiving," he said. "More than anything else, I prepared a lot for effective blocking, but it's a pity that there weren't many such parts."
