Hyundai Capital Blanc, who advanced to the men's professional volleyball V-League championship match, laughed, saying, "I actually thought about giving up the fourth set, but Heo Soo-bong created a dramatic moment."

Coach Blanc smiled at a press conference after advancing to the championship match with a 3-2 (22-25, 22-25, 25-18, 41-39, 15-12) in the second round of the Jin Air 2025-2026 professional volleyball V-League Playoff (PO, 2 wins out of 3 games) against Woori Card at Jangchung Gymnasium on the 29th, saying, "I actually thought about giving up 4 sets and preparing for the next game."

Hyundai Capital, which changed its atmosphere by winning three sets after giving up one or two sets, was forced into a corner by losing the lead by a large margin at one point in the fourth set. However, after a close deuce match, Hyundai Capital won 41-39, bringing the game to square one. The victory in the fourth set eventually served as the foundation for Hyundai Capital's great comeback victory. Heo led the team to victory with 10 points, including two crucial serve aces.

Coach Blanc said, "In the fourth set, there was an atmosphere that put down the players' facial expressions. However, seeing Heo Soo-bong encourage me to the end, I thought something new could happen, he said. "He made a dramatic moment." I think all fans felt the dramatic emotion of sports," he said.

Regarding the result of advancing to the championship match, Blanc said, "I feel so good and very tired," adding, "It wasn't an easy game. It made me feel better as I watched him endure and overcome as a team. Leo showed a hexagon today. I'm ready to fight against Korean Air now," he stressed.

"I think I need to rest physically because I went to five sets for two consecutive games. At the same time, he expressed confidence in the championship match (three wins out of five) against Korean Air, saying, "I think this victory will give the players strong confidence that they will not lose."
