Regarding the Korean Volleyball Federation's (KOVO) expression of regret announced the day before, Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc (France) said, "It's not important today," ahead of the final fifth game of the men's professional volleyball championship match (champ match, three wins out of five).

Coach Blanc met with reporters ahead of Game 5 of the Championship match against Korean Air at 7 p.m. on the 10th at Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium and heard related questions and said, "I want to focus only on Game 5 today. It is becoming such an interesting game that many people can watch. I want to focus only on fun volleyball," he said.

On the previous day, KOVO issued a statement and responded to Blanc's remarks related to Leo's sub-in/out decision at the end of the second match of the two teams' championship on the 4th, saying, "We continue to make words and actions of refusal and criticism through the media. I express my regret for Coach Blanc," he said. Coach Blanc repeatedly expressed his anger over the decision in public, including interviews, after losing the second game, and even after winning the fourth game two days ago, he said, "Unofficially, we won 3-1 (3-1)."

Coach Blanc, however, expressed his intention not to pay attention to KOVO's expression of regret on the eve of the game, but to focus solely on the last 5th game of the day when the championship is at stake. Director Blanc said, "When I think about how I got here, I think the 'team down' I showed on the court allowed me to come this far," adding, "Not only Leo, but everyone should be ready. The value as a group is important," he stressed.

The key is physical strength. Hyundai Capital has played as many as six games in 13 days, including the first and second full sets against Korean Air after winning the last two playoff (PO) games against Woori Card after a close game in a full set.

Of course, the players will not be in 100% condition, Blanc said. I played six games in a short period of time. However, if we trust and trust each other, we will be able to overcome anything, he said. "I want to write a new history." Earlier, you told me about volleyball of probability. If he loses two games, he has a 100% chance of winning the match. But so far we are here. I still have a wish to win today," he said with strength.

In response, Korean Air coach Henan Dal Zoto (Brazil) said, "We and Hyundai Capital are a team that is familiar with pressure or pressure. Two wins were our home, and the opponent also won two wins at home, he said. "We played by an equal score difference even when we played at Hyundai Capital home. "In Game 5, I will hope to win today more than anyone else," he stressed.

He then said, "The situation could have been the other way around in the first and second games. Hyundai Capital could have won. On the contrary, the fourth game was also divided into 23-25 (1 set), 23-25 (2 sets), and 29-31 (3 sets). Regardless of the result of the game, he said, "It was that much boiling in terms of content," adding, "The tight game continued." At times like this, motivation is important," he said.

Coach Henan said, "What is more important than motivation is the players' desire to win," adding, "One thing I can tell you for sure is that we will squeeze out the strength that both teams have today. It will be a tight game," he added.

Korean Air won both the first and second games earlier, but Hyundai Capital won the 3rd and 4th games, tying the championship with 2 wins and 2 losses. The probability of winning the first and second games winning the championship was 100%. Korean Air will challenge 100% probability, and Hyundai Capital will challenge the new history of "reverse sweep" for the first time ever.
