No way korea gonna lose to UZB...win in 3 sets

It's been a rough 2 years XD
The players that played last 2022 VNL aren't much different from the 2023 VNL squad, but this current lineup is very different from the 2022 VNL squad (many new OH and OPP, a new starting setter, and no permanent libero still, while MBs are pretty much the same). After 2 years, we still don't have a "main" squad per se, and many of our "veteran" players are really underperforming with the exception of Kang Sowhi. The captain, Park Jeong Ah, barely plays because she's been really bad these past 2 years (even in the club she wasn't exceptional despite winning the Championships last season).
As for the coach.. hmm. I can't fault him for his last 2022 performance, but for this year, definitely, something is not clicking with him and the team. I don't like local coaches to take the helm once he is out (the writing is on the wall really), so I hope they still get a foreign coach like maybe a Japanese or Italian coach.
I think coach cesar doesn't even know his best 6 players...keep changing the setup...as for the players..probably losing so many matches made them forgot how to win

Hmm
Pool C is tricky with Korea, C.Taipei, Vietnam and Uzbekistan.
I think Korea gonna struggle against Vietnam...their performance in VNL is really not convincing. Chinese Taipei and Uzbekistan..maybe win 3-1?

Who could have thought that Supreme will win over IBK
-
Lee Jin also my fave but she is more idol player than a dependable player...really surprised they let go of chae soobin

Display More"Victory Point Vending Machine" indeed, even in this forum people were lamenting the 2(?) countries that didn't get the chance to get their free wins against Korea
Kim Daeun is indeed a hopeful player, if she is performing this well on an international stage no less! with such little experience in the league. Also taking into consideration Korea has no OPP and Heejin is no longer a valuable contributor on the team even compared to younger players.
I know a lot of fans are hopeful for Jeong Jiyoon... but personally her level is still that of a bench player, there is not much choice from the pool of players however.
Regarding "rebuilding", the problem is that there is no rebuilding. Korea Federation is promising ridiculous "victory monetary rewards" for the team if they achieve a certain result, and before the VNLs they were still posting about their investment towards Paris Olympics. There is no way the overpaid Korea players would work towards that lofty goal for some money. In fact some would rather not join NT to focus on their club season before FA too.
This is a video which had gained some traction as of late by a veteran sports news reporter and IBK Coach Kim Hochul, daring to speak out and criticize the Korea Federation for allowing head coach Cesar to put more focus on his club over the national team, for recruiting Han Yumi as coach though she has zero past experience, and also KYK as advisor due to her stardom.
Coach and advisor are important roles to prepare the team especially when Cesar is with his club.
He also mentioned how if the Federation plans on rebuilding, they should set an achievable target & goal rather than focusing on the now (Paris Olympics) and not have any plan in place.
Long post, but Korea used to be a team supported by all and people enjoyed watching like Thailand is now. It's sad as a fan to see where they have come to because of stubbornness.Maybe they should hire Kim Hochul as Korean NT coach...at least he will demand more fight from his players than coach cesar who can only say wake up lol

So we are pretty much done with VNL (I mean, we are definitely not winning against China and Serbia), and I must say, if Korea doesn't want to lose any more face in the international community, they need to rescind their core team status immediately - if the FIVB will allow them. It's not beneficial to them anyway; it's like paying to be embarrassed and lose points.
Also, sharing here the funniest article from the many negative posts about the national team: A Victory Point Vending Machine
Nonetheless, I will say as a Korean team supporter, that there are a lot of positives in this experience as well, namely:
- The revelation of Kim Daeun, Moon Jiyun, and Kim Jiwon in the team, especially Daun, who doesn't even play regularly in the league.
- Jeong Jiyun playing as an OH is improving in her receive (and will be a core member in the NT in the future)
- Lee Dahyeon is doing well, as well as Jung Hoyoung, and can be the replacement for the 2 towers (YHJ and KSJ) with enough experience.
This "rebuilding" has been the worst but all we can do is really make the best out of a bad situation. I hope in the Asian Games, they would perform better at least.
If they struggle againt indonesia, vietnam in Asian Games....then this team really.
In pink spiders and GS Caltex...dependency on foreign player...and star players is not letting the fringe players to improve their game.
Ironically, the fringe playes are playing better against international teams
-
sorry, but no. LOL.
Bulgaria, maybe.
Well...they lost to bulgaria....coach cesar needs to go...
-
insane fall for SoKor
The longer they participate in VNL...SoKor will drop even further

#YeumHyeSeonOut #ParkJeongAhOut lol (and soon Kang Sowhi)
There's a lot of fire with the NT rookies like Jiwon, Daeun, and the two Jiyuns it weirds me out why Yeum and Jeong Ah still keep being chosen to sub. Even Pyo Seungju does better even just in receiving and digging (which changes a lot of the game because they start having better attack options). The next match is really scaring me lol they better be out of this VNL already if the quality of their games flip flop this much (also, Cesar really fumbles the ball when subbing; can't he see the games change because of these constant line-up changes?)
Cesar doesn't know his strongest 6...keep changing ain't good...should have kept the same 6 that almost won a set from brazil
-
Well, you know at least it's new players fumbling. If it was Yeum Hyeseon and Park Jeong Ah still playing then we can collectively wring their necks. At least the new players like Daeun, Jihyun, and Jiwon are playing; it's justifiable that they are laying the groundwork for the new generation of players (this is how my coping mind works lol)
Preparing for asian games

Same old story...almost winning a set but losing again...then it is downhill
-
Korea NT team is crumbling after losing a very close 1st set
-
Ooh, is this the first time I saw Cesar mad?
Wake up...he said to his players...alas still lost in 3 sets
-
The current South Korean NT is just not good enough to compete at international level...attack has no bite, blocking is not good enough....just not enough quality at each position
-
Personally i think her capability has waned or regressed somewhat but this is south korea...where skills and capability come second after looks and star quality
-
Kim Suji joining KYK at Pink Spiders...reunion of besties

All star voted based on popularity not on capability..how can lee go eun be inside the the all star team?

Does anyone re-watch the matches on K-Spike channel? They titled the Peppers vs Hyundai match "Pepper Savings Bank (AI Peppers) VS Yaasmeen (Hyundai E&C Hillstate)".
Seriously though, I don't know why she wasn't the MVP of the match.
It is given that foreign players are to perform each match so no MVP for them?
