Just looking at the head coach after the game, I think the team is in big trouble. Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc (66) gave bitter words to the players coldly and coolly.

Hyundai Capital suffered a complete shutdown loss to Woori Card with a set score of 0-3 (18-25, 23-25, 21-25) in the fifth round of the regular league of Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 6th.

As a result, Hyundai Capital, which lost to Woori Card for the first time this season, failed to widen its gap with second-place Korean Air (17-8, 50 points) with 16 wins and 10 losses (51 points). Woori Card, ranked sixth, trailed OK Savings Bank (13-13, 39 points) ranked fifth by four points with 12 wins and 15 losses (35 points).

For Hyundai Capital, it was a game where everything didn't work out. The main guns Leonardo Leyva (registered Leo) and Heo Soo-bong struggled with 14 points and 12 points, respectively, but the offense, defense, and connection were all bad. The number of errors was not much different, 20 to 21, but I couldn't even make deuce with me whenever it was decisive.

It couldn't be seen as a first-place team match at all. Coach Blanc's post-match interview after the game also showed his anger. Asked what didn't work out the most, Blanc said, "I have nothing to tell you because I don't think we played the game itself today. I don't know why it was shaken," he said flatly.

At the same time, he said, "Even though the opponent team Ali did well, the receiving was shaken by the floater's serve and he dedicated too many mistakes. Today is a mistake for all of us," he pointed out with a cool head.

Even in a favorable rotation, he rarely scored. Coach Blanc responded, "In the second set of counterattack, there was a small blocker (Han Tae-joon) in front of Heo Soo-bong, but he couldn't make good use of that part either. It is a game in which even the basics of volleyball were not observed."

The peak was when the story of Apogit Spiker's signal, which was sluggish with five points, 22.22% attack efficiency and five mistakes, came out.

Coach Blanc said, "We shouldn't have used Shin Ji-jin today. In addition to offense, he is a player with advantages such as receiving and defense, but everything was shaken today. I finished the interview, saying, "I was wrong to use Shin Ki-jin today."
