After the departure of foreign player Yasmin, Hyundai E&C, which had endured well with only domestic players, entered a difficult phase afterwards. Hwang Yeon-joo struggled, but came to a physically difficult section.
Hyundai E&C needs to prepare for the postseason with the remaining two rounds. You cannot play the postseason without foreign players. The club’s secretariat also reviewed the two-track, continuing the Jung-jung-dong movement. By the middle of the 5th round, it seems that there will be a change.
In Hyundai E&C, the system of Apposite Spiker Hwang Yeon-joo is the main axis, and Jung Ji-yoon is also replaced with Apposite Spiker. If a new foreign player is decided based on the performance of the two players, more basic scoring can be expected. First of all, domestic players must be able to maintain their condition well and lead them. Hyundai E&C is a team that has the ability to win even if they don’t put a lot of weight on foreign players.
Hyojin Yang and Dahyun Lee are in the midfield of Hyundai E&C, and Minkyung Hwang and Yerim Goh are active as outside hitters.
